January 26-28 Blizzard Observations/Nowcast

[dryslot]

My thoughts too! Still not liking the way measurements have to be made. Not the first storm like this and won't be the last. Just have to do the best you can and just accept it.

Good luck, Jeff!

 

You just have to take 6 and try to find places that are not drifted, That is the only way possible with the windy conditions

Getting a pounding here now!

9 new inches at 2pm with moderate heavy very fluffy high ratio snow falling.  At least 1.5/hour last hour  Some of the heavier snow is indeed retro-ing back into central NH.  Chris, I am sure we will verify the forecast here within the next 2-3 hours.

Mod/hvy here too. Don't think we're near 9" though. Temp plummeting...14.6F

[Baroclinic Zone]

I am just NW of the airport on Stevens St.  Does the airport report a total?

You're like 1/2mi from me.  I'm off Staples St.  No there is no manned observations from the airport.  I used to report my totals to the NWS but stopped.

I'm officially joining the party.  Out for a walk, back in a bit with measurements and pics.  Go Jeff!  30 in the bag...

[Baroclinic Zone]

Drifts are as impressive as I've ever seen. At these rates, two feet will be reached within the next 90 minutes

Awesome storm

It's getting there.  If we can maintain these rates for another few hours I'll eat my words regarding this and Jan 2005.

That band in far NW VT is working down the Hudson valley and over to about 30 miles east of Binghamton . Geezus

Awesome great to know another member in the area.  It's hard to say with drifts but I think we around 22' right now

[PineHillsWx]

Intensity just picked up big time in Pepperell the last 10 minutes. We have to be at  two feet if not more.

[Chris L]

Looks to be on par with February 2013 snow totals for a lot of places! Awesome. Even some locations exceeded that.

Yeah, the NWS total seems a bit low but that can happen with these storms.  

[Whineminster]

Measured 13" here, garden variety. highly disappointed considering I was slated for 24"+ at one point, and Lunenburg 10 miles away has 30". I'm officially a QPF worrier for all future coastals and side with MPM. WAAAAAAAAH

I have picked up about 2.5 inches in a little over 2 hours sitting underneath it.

Small consolation prize for us.

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

Impressive stuff to the east, congrats..

[subdude]

Deeper bands starting to move West. Finally getting some decent snows here. Winds have died down. Just measured 12" so far. Under performer. 

[DavisStraight]

Impressive stuff to the east, congrats..

Hear any reports of 3+ feet? The way that bands been sitting there all day someplace must be close.

Not yet i don't think, when all is said and done someone might pull in within and inch or two of 3 feet

Been snowing steady here since late morning...better late than never after waking up to nothing:)  Visibility at times under a quarter mile with somewhat gusty winds.  Amazing reports east of here in New England!

Kim Basinger's character in the Natural is called "Memo"

[dryslot]

Every time we get a reinforcing shot into the band the winds jump to 40 mph

I'm close.  To be safe I think I need 2-3" more.  I got my KU.

[N. OF PIKE]

cool looking radar

Shows how impressive that band now working into interior maine really is

 

Looking at that loop I could make a case that we are gonna see another Band re-organize around 495 to EMass in next hour

 

All the while radar return will begin aligning more N-S  starting in southern areas and working NE
