Tropopause_Fold Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 This bodes well for the weekend storm being further west - because the law of averages says no way does Cape Cod get a foot of snow twice in a week. you just jinxed yourself.

CCPSUSuperstorm2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Phil that band is so close. Do you think I could push 12" by tomorrow morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Animated Infrared Satellite imagery Unbelievable, looks like the storm has slowed down a lot. Look at that convection that continues to develop and push westward. Just look at the storm's structure. Comma head and everything, frontal boundary. Just wow, classic extratropical cyclone structure. Can't believe there are not more posts here about this classic storm. I understand it is a little too far east, but that structure is simply amazing to look at. Haha... it is impacting a very small geographical area right now and I actually think there have been a lot of posts regarding it. This thread is the fastest growing in this sub-forum. I know what you are saying though... Whenever it is snowing outside you always want to talk about it with whoever will listen lol. Here are my obs... 18F -SN (started about 15 minutes ago) 6.5" of snow depth prior to this event BTV calling for 2-4" tomorrow and 2-5" on Wednesday from this ocean storm's moisture interacting with local topography Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan11 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 But I'm seriously happy for you guys. Since I have no stake in it...I've been rooting for the best echoes to make it ashore. you just jinxed yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropopause_Fold Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Phil that band is so close. Do you think I could push 12" by tomorrow morning? not sure what type of rates are under that band...so far all ive got from eastham was "heavy snow. low visibility" 12 might be pushing it...10 seems achievable at this point though. who knows.

Bryan Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Just cleared my driveway for second time. Snowing the heaviest it has since early this morning.

I think there have been quite the number of informative posts regarding this beast. Such a magnificent storm to watch though on satellite imagery. not sure what type of rates are under that band...so far all ive got from eastham was "heavy snow. low visibility" 12 might be pushing it...10 seems achievable at this point though. who knows. Yeah I think 10" is achievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 bay side beach in eastham, snowing heavily visibility not far from zero. That's a live report from my inlaw as of 635pm. Raging blizzard. Is that the band the NAM deposited in eastern MA later? Boy that would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruschi Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Looks like a nice heavy band heading sw about to pummel the cape. Good moderate snow right now in centerville with about 51/2 inches on the lawn. The snow blower fired right up after almost a year of no use:) Gotta love electric start!

DeVries Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Really ripping out here in Boston...at least a quarter inch on the ground...downtown streets in total gridlock, no joke...we've moved like 50 feet in the last 10 minutes...I thought Boston could handle snow...this is really pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 this storm has overperformed for most of us yet if we miss this nasty band which REALLY looks like it wants to come I may punch the cat.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Man the NAM wasn't so bad after all. class leading but it kind of laid a duck on this last band. RGEM/GGEM were abysmal. As late as last night they had anythign significant out by the BM. Euro was okay I think, GFS bad, Nogaps bad, Ukmet terrible. RUC was good, but it stunk today. Was terrible today but then again I dont think it's designed really to be picking up inbound threats from the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I have an overall question, does anyone have anyone feelings that this winter could wind up being like the 2005 winter season where SE Mass and CC were in the constant crosshairs of storms. Have nothing to validate this question, just mostly curiosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
