OceanStWx Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 The posts this morning to the PA guy about being a meh event for the total loss, what a great storm. Now was this a swfe?sure acted like one We're kind of missing that screaming SW flow aloft though. Pretty hardcore easterly, as you can see by the downsloping going on in the mountains.

ORH_wxman Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I don't think I've ever racked up ~12" of 20:1 in a SWFE before. Maybe down there it resembled one with the WAA. Wasn't a SWFE with more S and even SSE winds in the mid-levels and even more easterly further north...at least for about 750-800mb and down. This was a classic little clipper/redeveloper S of SNE...they almost tend to resemble mini-late blooming Miller Bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Last time I remember something this insane was 12/23/97 when I was in western Rockingham County. Yeah I saw almost 7" in one hour during that in ORH...it came straight down with almost no wind with temps in the 27-28F range IIRC. Not sure how big your aggregates were but in that one we had basically huge silver dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattb65 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Did Metro Boston area just drop below freezing in like 1/2 hour time? Distaster commute. Yup, temp crashing here. Briefly tickled up to 32.5 and now down below 30. Luckily things didn't melt too much so it isn't as icy on sidewalks but the slush on untreated roads is hardening up a bit.
