January 26-28 Blizzard Observations/Nowcast

[N. OF PIKE]

Yes, I think he's on Rt 3 at the moment...

Pulled into Radisson in Plymouth harbor....they are sorta protected by small barrier islands...he should take 3 south about 3 miles to rocky hill rd, then to taylor ave. Right at the point will full NNE exposure to swell and wind for maximum destruction

[Damage In Tolland]

It's been back and forth light to moderate here. The band just to the SE looks mighty fine. Just about 2 inches

[ORH_wxman]

About an inch in ORH...just a bit more. Patiently waiting for the goods to the southeast.

What are you expecting there?

[CT Valley Snowman]

Mainly light here, about an inch. Watching the radar, everything pivoting west, very convective looking off the coast of Jersey.  

[Boston Bulldog]

2.5" and moderate to heavy snow

How's the snowgrowth?

[mahk_webstah]

snow doesn't want to come too far north into NH.  looks like it is getting eaten by dry air.  Could someone comfort me and tell me it actually will start to snow?  cold here 16 with a dp of 4

[N. OF PIKE]

SPC seems to show High Building down in Quebec as highest pressures (on map) are 1029  (unless I missed that last time I looked) low is 990-991 currently

 

So about 40 mb pressure differential currently

 

Anyone have any top gusts or link to top gusts reported thus far.

[Mr. Windcredible!]

finally some nice big flakes...first real moderate of the storm

[40/70 Benchmark]

18.4/16

1"

Snow really picking up even more here now but the winds ramping up is even more impressive. I'm sustained at 23mph gusting to 36 right now, starting to hear a constant low roar. visibility really dropping with those gust down to prob 1/8 mi. Temp 27 with a DP of 27. I'd estimate a little more than 2" judging by eye.

[Damage In Tolland]

What are you expecting there?

In my mind I've gone back and forth. I could see it breaking either way. If you had gun at my knee Id say 22-25

[Damage In Tolland]

Here come the goods

[JC-CT]

It is just going to start dumping any freakin second

[Baroclinic Zone]

Heavy snows. Winds howling already.

[TalcottWx]

I think you're on drugs if you look at that radar and think NYC doesn't get the goods. 

[Mr. Windcredible!]

About an inch in ORH...just a bit more. Patiently waiting for the goods to the southeast.

 

 

That does a much better job highlighting the moderate snow advancing into CT than the COD radar view I've been looking at. Much easier to see those deepening green colors where snow intensity is increasing. Looks much more uniform on the COD radar. 

[HoarfrostHubb]

National Grid will be cutting power in Scituate at 11PM due to fire fears

[SlantStickers Anonymous]

25 degrees and steady snow, around an inch so far.

[CoastalWx]

Moderate snow BLSN as I leave weymouth. 28.

[CoastalWx]

2.2.5 maybe so far.

[Clinch Leatherwood]

In my mind I've gone back and forth. I could see it breaking either way. If you had gun at my knee Id say 22-25

 

They probably should have kept you in the 24-36.  I think adjusting out the Euro...you end up very close as does Will and Steve to the jack.

 

I could be wrong, but I expect the sw edge of the heaviest stuff later tonight to be further NE and that'll help you.  Instead of where it is on this map, halfway or more towards the black line.

 

I don't think there's any doubt this thing is running a line east of say the NAM..and maybe Euro.

Estimate as to snowfall rates in that band moving into TAN now?

[CT Rain]

1.1" / 0.12" w.e. as of about 815 here in West Hartford

[BostonWX]

Radar looks great for most of the area. Euro ftw?

[Cold Miser]

Cutting power, as in F8ck you homeowner's we are just going to cut your power so go ahead and freeze just in case there is a fire?

[HIPPYVALLEY]

I think you're on drugs if you look at that radar and think NYC doesn't get the goods.

Let them go Jay, lost sailors.

Only about .25" mostly shattered baby powder here so far but can see the better stuff getting closer. Wind howling up high, gonna' be a b**ch to accurately measure tomorrow.

18/14 nice to see DP come up a bit. NE wind around 10mph which is high for these parts but as I said howling up high.

Whole town? I am in scituate for the night.
