January 26-28 Blizzard Observations/Nowcast

[skierinvermont]

I bested Nemo and so did a ton of others. Man the snow hole SECT got smoked.

 

yep. How much you got? My parents in Lyme ballparked 2 feet this morning but then the weather channel was only reporting 20" in old lyme at 3pm.

A naked guy with a toaster no less.

[TalcottWx]

Snow has picked up in intensity here!

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Snowing at a decent clip here again. May have jumped the gun on the driveway

[DavisStraight]

I came up a bit short of Nemo, we have 26 otg but 3-4 was already there, I didn't have a chance to measure this one properly. We had 28" for Nemo. I thought I was going to miss the big totals, must have got lucky with a band while I was sleeping.

 

13 degrees, wind blowing - beautiful out there

Some more pics of my area this evening. 

[mostman]

I "think" I heard a report of 35.7" in Westford. Not sure if it was an official report. Anyway, Congrats! I too exceeded Nemo by 6" so far.

That might be right. My sticks went away before that last band. Congrats to you as well. I went to school at UMass Lowell - been in this area ever since (15 years) - this is the biggest storm I've seen.

I finished the driveway an hour ago. Will get the last few inches in the morning.

I like the way you're talking

[codfishsnowman]

We ended up with about 12" here outside Springfield. Much to the relief of my wife, school is on for tomorrow. omg where are you?? i only had 8 inches one mile from longmeadow

17F / 7

[DavisStraight]

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

It has elevation and latitude on its side.

[Roger Smith]

Official numbers for ORH in yet? NWS site still quotes the 25" numbers from 9.40 am.

 

Daily climate report is 28.4, plus 2.6 before midnight, total 31.0"

 

Today's precip report is 0.15, ratio is therefore 189.3 to 1 (!!)

 

Would be expecting that to be adjusted possibly, even 30 to 1 is very fluffy snow. The first 2.6" gave 0.13 which is a 20:1 ratio. Overall if the numbers are correct it would be (.28 --> 31.0 = 110.7 to 1 ratio)

visibility going back down in boston, buildings started to get obscured by the blowing snow 

[MarkO]

That might be right. My sticks went away before that last band. Congrats to you as well. I went to school at UMass Lowell - been in this area ever since (15 years) - this is the biggest storm I've seen.

 

Lot's of UML/UL grads on this forum. I actually lived in the same house as HubbDave at the same time, yet didn't know him, lol. I graduated there in '93.

[TalcottWx]

No measurement from KBOS since 1pm. Lmao.

 

..SUFFOLK COUNTY...
BOSTON 26.0 300 PM 1/27 NONE
SOUTH BOSTON 25.0 440 PM 1/27 NONE
1 N EAST BOSTON 20.8 100 PM 1/27 AIRPORT

[N. OF PIKE]

This band has been here since 9 am this morning

 

pivot right over Portland?

That's pretty impressive, and exactly how much I measured at my place this evening.!

[J Paul Gordon]

ORH airport (official station) was at 31" at 3:05 PM..might have squeeked another inch or so after. Beats Nemo... Guessing 32-35 here. Light snow falling now actually picked up a little in the past few minutes.

[mostman]

The 35.8 from Westford was official. From an hour ago. Still snowing here. Lightly.

[TheSnowman]

I caught up with that band rotting over me - Over 21" Now.  A Top 18 Storm All-Time.  Maybe with luck I can make a run a 2 Feet and become only the 10th Storm to do that All-Time.  

 

This is not even CLOSE to the Blizzard of 2013 for me as you guys have been talking about it.  23" OTG and 28" Total.  This is 18" OTG 21" Total.  

[wxsniss]

Stuff coming down from Cape Ann is actually improving into Boston metro

[codfishsnowman]

8 inches here final, i guess just a couple miles se they had a foot, 15 to 20 miles se/e 20 plus....amazing and devastating all at the same time.....maybe ill take a ride tomorrow to check some of it out

[Clinch Leatherwood]

If the radar doesn't go poof - it looks great right now as another band is swooping down as it intensifies, another 3-6 down here?  YIKES.

[Lava Rock]

Getting pummeled again

[TalcottWx]

The surface low hasn't really moved far in the past few hours. but best lift has clearly shifted east close to BOS. Winding down around midnight seems like a solid guess. 

[TalcottWx]

Moderate to heavy... Lots of blowing snow... Wind picking back up.

[TheSnowman]

Radar trying to fill in again in E SNE.  Awesome.  I need 2.5" - 3" More!  

[wxsniss]

TWC keeps referring to 20.8 at KBOS so will not get into top 5 storm. No measurement has been made at Logan since 1pm. If we are gonna contend, use a real measurement.

[dryslot]

Just went out to measure, 5.5" additional since 2 pm,   

27.0" snow total That surpasses Blizz 2013 Nemo

They called Framingham... "Framington" earlier.. 

 

They are embarrasing
