January 26-28 Blizzard Observations/Nowcast

[gymengineer]

Except pd2 which was too high and the now record. Embarrassing that storm shoved 78 aside.

They had to justify the total after inquiries... it was the ultimate 6-hr method inflation with the final snow depth significantly lower than 28". But everyone knows that 78, if measured the same way, would have cleared PD2 easily.

28.5"

Trying desperately to squeeze out 1.5"more fluff to catch my holy grail

Even if you don't, you will

[gymengineer]

I may average more snow than most of you SNE'ers, but man...you guys know how to go big. 20"+ has been nothing for you guys the past few years.

I counted today and realized that Boston has had a legitimate shot at hitting its single storm record on average once every three years (!) since 2000. Even 3/01 originally looked to challenge 2/78, and the NW suburbs still easily cleared 20".

[dendrite]

Lunenburg in with 36" in the new PNS.

[Clinch Leatherwood]

This is really becoming a meaner version of 2005.  These bands just won't stop. 

 

This will be the new storm by which all others are measured on Cape Cod.

28" on the Vineyard on the same storm as 30" in Worcester and Boston.  You don't EVER SEE THAT.

[Bostonseminole]

finished with ~ 25.5" great storm on to the next one

[BostonWX]

Noticeably more accumulation over the past couple hours

 

[Brewbeer]

omg where are you?? i only had 8 inches one mile from longmeadow

Longmeadow near the shops. There's 9 inches on the yardstick in mby, but a solid foot of wind packed powder on the driveway when I cleared this morning.

[kevin1927]

Still really coming down here even under this lighter banding. Big flakes.

 

Must be right on the edge of that brighter banding hugging the coast just offshore.

[rnaude241]

Not sure what spotters they were taking numbers from but we have 24+ here in Taunton, especially on the East side not 17.

[OceanStWx]

Every bit as good as 2013 here. Maybe a shade less on the winds, 2013 really roared for a while.

The difference in snowfall in 2013 was the 10" ocean effect before the main band arrived in the Portland. Take that away and snowfall is basically the same.

Not sure what spotters they were taking numbers from but we have 24+ here in Taunton, especially on the East side not 17.

Putnam has much more as well 

[40/70 Benchmark]

Even if you don't, you will

I never inflate anything, dude.

[jamesnichols89]

Guys, I was at 13-14" at 300am EST this morning, so yes I was eyeballing it because the drifts are so insane I can't get an accurate measurement.  There is one foot in spots, there is 4 feet in spots.  The winds were really brutal and still are currently, almost zero visibility all day today.  SO I think we are around 31-32" now, and that spotter is likely wrong.  I measured with a ruler until I measured 24" and then I couldn't measure anymore with a ruler.

[TheSnowman]

Are they going to update this?  Where's the link.  Cool.  

[mahk_webstah]

Dunno what to tell you. I live 4 miles from the 4 corners and I ain't lying

Strange though cuz you and I are usually about the same

My melted core matched Salisbury this afternoon. The Salisbury COOP only has 0.71" in the gauge.

This will be the new storm by which all others are measured on Cape Cod.

28" on the Vineyard on the same storm as 30" in Worcester and Boston.  You don't EVER SEE THAT.

I was thinking about that today.

 

This storm took the absolute perfect track for e MA.

[BuffaloWeather]

I just saw on Facebook and posted. Not sure what is updated and what isn't. I'm sure they will have an updated list once the storm is over.

[SouthCoastMA]

ACUSHNET 22.2 605 PM 1/27 TRAINED SPOTTER

Ok that's about 4 or 5" more than I figured, but I must have the worst yard to get measurements from. It's nearly impossible..though I do have many trees nearby as well and not much of a flat area to measure from.

[SouthCoastMA]

Plus we definitely have gotten over 1.5" in the past 90 min so we could be approaching 2ft.

[jamesnichols89]

I think this storm will eclipse the Blizzard of 2005.

[Heisy]

I'm sick to my stomach, was an awesome storm, but a last second reservation took me away from the 25-30" range. I probably have 16-20" in Mainsfield MA

[Ginx snewx]

There are definitely mesovorts rotating around that beast. Watched one come southwest from the GOM across Boston and is currently NE of,me. I had one today, the wind totally dropped, then a mega wind burst followed by whiteout conditions. You can see them on infrared as well as radar. I like this storm more and more. Can't imagine the damage the coast would have taken had the tides beer astro high

[Damage In Tolland]

Solid moderate snow the last half hour. Viz is way down .

[Ginx snewx]

Wow 35 confirmed in Milford

[Clinch Leatherwood]

Okay time to turn off the snow...these bands just won't end and I'm out of strength to shovel.

 

Much wider band than 2005...and more impressive.  Just won't die.

[JC-CT]

Solid moderate snow the last half hour. Viz is way down .

Best snow since this morning

What's your total now? And what did you get in 2005?

I had 28" in Wareham in 2005, and I'm guessing they have more than that with this storm.

22-24" here in Acushnet..not too shabby but just missed out on a few bands earlier this morning that cut down on totals a bit.

TBOS radar has been amazing to watch, gravity wave city
