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

[MainePhotog]

While this incredibly intense band seems like it will never stop, another is heading straight for me off the GOM!

Let it RIP!

[MainePhotog]

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

Indeed. Gusting between 35 and 45 mph here. And when it does, all sense of visibility is diminished to mere feet.

Just dumping again

This is not to take away from any of the other subforums and it is not a comparison.

But this group...all of you. Kill it. Collectively it's a very, very rare day where this gang of pros, soon to be pros, amateurs and hobbyists miss a forecast. Everyone plays a part, and if you go back and look at the last xx years...there's a rare day where something breaks to a surprise solution that someone here wasn't on top of.

Today and yesterday case in point. You guys are the best - we're very fortunate to have the pros, and the resource in general. Such a great team.... There's a level of technical knowledge, theory, experience, and local climo knowledge that is just indispensable. It really is.

Glad my trip to south beach is next week. Leave Monday morning.

Agree wth you..appears as if another band is rotating into the Merrimack Valley area from SE NH

[MarkO]

Epic! You can put Lowell into the 30+" club, and it happened in just under 24 hours. Intensity picking back up again. Moderate snow at the moment.

[wx2fish]

27.0". Might be tack on another an inch or 2.

Great radar depiction. Thanks for sharing. It's incredible being under these bands as they rotate in off the GOM!

Shrewsbury has to have 3'

[geo1]

Boston must be getting pummeled still!

[ksingh0311]

Well it read 30.5 inches here in my place at 2.47 pm. If it continues like that pretty soon it will be off-scale because my ruler is only 34 inches. PS: Is there anyone here in ORH who can verify this?

[SR Airglow]

HRRR says we snow in Boston until after midnight(Ends around 2 AM). Got to think the record is in reach at this point?

Let me add to this by saying that this has been probably the best run Storm for us that I can recall.  With the huge number of posters it was nice to see the mix of amateurs/pros give their thoughts.  This is exactly how these storms should go and should be used as a model for future ones.

The line from Ray to Me continues to be in the middle of a hole. This is my Boxing Day event. Stuck at 18.5".

Well, it went smoothly because we all clean up

 

The western guys went to bed

[Modfan]

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

You can't be that far off; although the heavier band this morning was just to your east

[PSLwx]

Thanks to each and every one of you from a lurker in Florida who was in Plymouth MA for the Blizzard of '78... you are awesome!!

And you subsidence bitched your way to a top 3.  

[Lava Rock]

The deck will not be fun to shovel

[wxeyeNH]

7" light snow, no wind.  Vis about 1 mile.  Wind very light but seems to be shifting to NW.  Temp is falling steadily, down to 11.8F

[geo1]

Way things look right now Ray we may climb a notch or 2 in wilmington?

[Lava Rock]

I am whooped, forgot how much a snow blower helps.

Been out twice and will do the driveway again soon. The deck is gonna suck.

And you subsidence bitched your way to a top 3.  

I didn't complain once during this event
