January 26-28 Blizzard Observations/Nowcast

[macriver]

That sucker hole from south Weymouth to east of PVD is frightening.

 

Yeah, wow - that is clearly visible on radar.  

[MarkO]

Man, picked bak up.....about 2"/hr, as this band is just rotting over me.

Must be north of 20".

I'm at least 2 feet. I don't know where to go to get an accurate measurement, but it is just pounding out there.

[mahk_webstah]

This should get a few of us in SNE to 30+

BOX:

DRY SLOT WILL REMAIN EAST OF NEW ENG.
SFC LOW DOWN TO NEAR 980 MB ALSO NEAR THE BENCHMARK AS SYSTEM IS
BECOMING VERTICALLY STACKED. ONLY SLOW MOVEMENT NORTH EXPECTED
DURING TODAY AS THE LOW GETS CAPTURED BY THE UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM
WHICH WILL PROLONG OCCASIONAL HEAVY SNOW THROUGH TODAY.

[macriver]

Just heard on WBZ TV that all of Nantucket is without power.

[weathafella]

Nam keeps it coming into the evening.

[mahk_webstah]

GYX also mentions all time snows for coastal and near interior NH

[40/70 Benchmark]

Are you kidding me?

What a zombie that band is....reenergizing

[Dan]

It does appear on radar that everything is slowly collapsing east. 

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Sucks, hoping it collapses east. Hoping for a few more inches

[wackymann]

Chelmsford getting pounded - haven't ventured out yet, but eyeballing from the window says we are approaching 2 feet.

I think you'll get several more this afternoon as the band moves southeast

[JMPhysicsTeacher]

Collapsing and weakening. Back edge of precip is still on Ma/NY border.

Was out for a nice walk.  It's a good storm.  About 5 so far and snowing mod-heavy.  Vis is 1/4 or less I think.  The bands in Mass RI are great bands and they seem to be sitting still from orh and se.  Up here we had a heavier band rotate in, but not the heaviest.  The heaviest echoes just keep fading out as they near CON.  But if this continues another 6-8 hours we'll get a foot or more.  

 

Hoping the storm slows or stalls or retros.  Anyone have an opinion on this?

So close yet so far. Congrats RGEM.

But the deformation band always rots over us!

Anyways...

16.4F -SN/SN

[weathafella]

Thankfully that hole is filling in and won't reach me. This winter has roared back to life and is beating his chest now.

[Bryan]

Thankfully holding off from the dry slot here in Weymouth, must just be South of me.

You would think that's how it would play it. Seems like this is in no hurry.

Picking up a bit now

[dendrite]

4" 

"We're onto Friday"

[mostman]

Huh. Just when the band started to break up and slide away from me it gets stronger. Snow just really picked up in intensity - which is unreal.

[TheSnowman]

NAM says the band is done for Southern New England. Once it's gone it's gone and I don't believe that.

[Dan]

Anywhere from 18-20 here.

I think 30+ will be common in Essex cty

[HoarfrostHubb]

Spent some time outside shoveling and playing with the dog. Took a bunch if measurements.

Ranged from 4.5" to 10". Looks like 8" here

So bummed

[HoarfrostHubb]

"We're onto Friday"

And Sunday

[Chrisrotary12]

The band up here in Merrimack Valley appeared to be losing steam for a while, but looks like it has steadied itself and is drifting back west a bit.

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Eh' I am over my snow bust malaise. It's a beautiful morning, it's snowing, radar looks ok and I have snow otg.

This is actually a lot less painful than March 2013 when there were 20"+ totals ORH east and 1" here.
