That has to be off it's rocker, no?

 

It lays the band right over me, but rad is hugging the coast...

 

What do you think?

 

15.3/13

S-

25"

 

1) 4/97 30"

2) NEMO 27"

3) 1/05, 1/15- 25"

It's too far west. I'm not getting what it's regurgitating out for me.

[CoastalWx]

They have you in the Residence Inn ?

 

Yep.

[CoastalWx]

He is considered essential personnel, which why he and several others are there.  Forecasting is still going on across the US and the world.  The weather doesn't stop in the rest of the world if we are getting snow here.

 

We all can't sit there in out footie pajamas all the time.

[Lava Rock]

12". 8.4f. That is nearly the fluffiest snow I've ever shoveled

[Heisy]

Lightened up in Mainsfield MA after a nice heavy burst for the last 2.5 hours. Hoping some more heavy bands rotate back in here.

Why can't he do what he does at the office at home?

Everyone who is a met is considered essential?

I did not realize this.

Small world, New Boston Rd here too. The biggest total I've seen in the 4 years we've been here was Feb 13 with about 24".

Which house? 311 for us

[Dan]

Why can't he do what he does at the office at home? 

 

 

The main reason, I believe is that if he were to lose power for any reason, then he would not be able to complete the things he has to do.   WSI is on generators, so if anything happens, they are good to go.

 

As I said a number of people are at the office today and stayed at the hotel next door.  WSI is 24x7, things need to keep moving.

[Bostonseminole]

23" moderate snow 16.7F

[Zeus]

Brookline doing well. Seems like two feet, drifting strong.

 

Looks like we've got an afternoon of snow still ahead based on the HRR/RAP depictions. I think we push over 30" pretty readily.

for once we agree

[CoastalWx]

Gotta keep 'em flying Kev.

At approximately 1230am I measured a gust of 81 mph.   Not entirely trusting my stuff although it's great....   neighbor also measured 83 mph.  His stuff is legit, and he's been measuring here for 16 years.  These would be the peak gusts measured here for as long as the homes have been here.   There is considerable damage, mostly minor, some broken windows, many ruined fences, sidewall and roof shingles all over the place.  

 

This exceeds all prior storms here for damage.  And I do believe it beat 05, and some spring rain gales for peak winds.

Wow.  Another random record for this storm.  My #1 and #2 are Both in January of 2014 oddly enough for fluffiest Snow I can remember.  Both around a Foot too. 

 

I've got like 18.5"-19" (Haven't checked in a half hour), Can I get 6" More??

[SlantStickers Anonymous]

Snow is now up to the windows on my deck lol, about 4' high. Moderate/heavy snow continues.

Be interesting to see if you can stay in the good stuff

[kevin1927]

Latest at Boston is 20.8. Saw a report out of Chelsea at 28". That may be a little high though.

[jamesnichols89]

At least 24-26" of snow on the ground.  26.9F snowing heavily, blowing and drifting makes it so hard to measure.  So the 24-26" is an estimate.

[Randy4Confluence]

Just took 5 measurements on both flat surfaced and drifty areas and measured between 11" amd 20".

Flurries and light snow for a couple of hours now.

[eyewall]

Getting a moderate burst now here in Winooski, VT with vis being cut down close to 1/4 mile at times with the wind.

[BostonWX]

Insanity. The dirt road on the left is closed for business.

 

 

[N. OF PIKE]

almost looks like a Harwich,ma pivot going on for King James

 

Epic totals coming by late evening on S Shore PYM county, cape

Clinch, you see any more thundersnow last night? Know there was one CG in your neighborhood.

[Randy4Confluence]

Insanity.

Wow that's awesome.

[mahk_webstah]

We're toast.

seems that way, but still good snow growth and the hole is filling in....light to moderate building back into the area.  maybe it enhances, but we probably get 2-4 more.  That would get me close to a foot.

[SR Airglow]

BOS still snowing lightly at 10 PM if the new RAP is right.

30"+?

[Bostonseminole]

i'm in that big hole on radar but still moderate snow,
