January 26-28 Blizzard Observations/Nowcast

[Ginx snewx]

Beyond Epic storm. I have a five foot drift on the peak of my roof

[wx2fish]

I don't think I've ever seen 36-48". But I can tell you I am 3.8 miles south of that 36-48" blob. Currently at 31.5"

I'm just north of the blob and I just hit 29.8" as of 450. Depth hasn't changed much since noon despite adding 3"+ to the snowboard. Lots of air in this stuff. Still snowing pretty hard too.

[Lava Rock]

This turned into probably the best storm in my life and I'm 42yo. Not the biggest total, but the persistent wind, whiteout conditions and cold temps, definitely a good storm

[Damage In Tolland]

I swear..there hasn't been a storm in the last 2 years that Lunenburg hasn't been at the top of every PNS in Mass. I don't even know where the hell that is

[Bostonseminole]

24.75" just before that last band.. see if we can get to 26"

[BostonWX]

 

For those with drift and deck fetishes.

[Clinch Leatherwood]

Wow, this is something to read through.  How about wind and drifting reports?

 

Peak gust here was 80+.  People will question it...there were 70+ around here and this is 130 feet directly up off the beach.  Measured from multiple locations.  

 

I have drifts to 8 feet.  But remember...50+ sustained will do that with 2-3 feet.

[TalcottWx]

Soooo close to a record at BOS

25" @ 4:40pm here not far from Logan.

[BostonWX]

25" @ 4:40pm here not far from Logan.

 

I saw a 26, I guess it wasn't from Logan

[jamesnichols89]

I think we have surpassed 30" just looking outside at the drifts and amount of snow on the ground.

Not reaching the ground.

[TalcottWx]

Hints of a great finale band trying to form near cape ann!

I had close to 24" at that time. That was conservative fwiw. It's tough to estimate but I didn't want to overdo it.

Come to papa!

I think you could say 27 and not be overdoing it

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

One more band to swing through here? 1 more inch?

[N. OF PIKE]

sugarloaf is POUNDING snow

[macriver]

Subsidence zones filling in, perhaps?

[dendrite]

Not reaching the ground.

Yup...drying out up here too below the beam.

[TalcottWx]

20z HRRR adds 5-7" in eastern mass....RAP 21z says 2-4"

[NorEastermass128]

We are ripping again. Probably right around 23-24" so far.

[JMPhysicsTeacher]

I'm right near that maroon on the MA/NH border....but I think I am only 31/32...this last burst gave another 1-2 tops.

[Clinch Leatherwood]

20z HRRR adds 5-7" in eastern mass....RAP 21z says 2-4"

what about down this way?  I'm too lazy too look.

[mostman]

20z HRRR adds 5-7" in eastern mass....RAP 21z says 2-4"

Seriously? 95 in or 495 in.

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Friend reports 20" in N Falmouth on CC.  She says 5-6' drifts.  

[CoastalWx]

The cape is going to have incredible amounts. That N Falmouth number seems real low.

[N. OF PIKE]

James Jackpot?

[CoastalWx]

20z HRRR adds 5-7" in eastern mass....RAP 21z says 2-4"

No way.
