January 26-28 Blizzard Observations/Nowcast

[Cold Miser]

I never inflate anything, dude.

Snow-gate?  Depth inflate?

Sounds like we need to call in the NWS for a ruling.

[TalcottWx]

Low has started to pull away finally. Very slowly.

[danstorm]

Another westward push of heavy snow incoming from Cape Cod Bay. Epic.

I'm speechless.

And jealous...from a NYC vs BOS perspective, this and 2/13 (where I had 10 and 12, respectively) make up for the two NE shafteroos in Feb 2010 and Boxing Day, IMO.

[TalcottWx]

Plow broke down on my street.

[JC-CT]

I guess Boston really does get more snow than NYC.

[JC-CT]

World Series? Nasomuch

[Ginx snewx]

Not for you lol. For me.

it's snowing nicely, thanks for the heads up

I meant it wasn't the BEST snow of the afternoon for you, but it was for me.

[JC-CT]

For you, pedestrian.

Tru dat. I had the pleasure of experiencing Dec 03 and Jan 05 up there.

[Ginx snewx]

5" difference here in a mile.

Looks like radar isn't close to dying down yet either. 30"?

one of these times Pickles over in an hour posts will be dead nuts lol

[HIPPYVALLEY]

How has Logan recorded less than 3" since 1PM?? Makes no sense.

 

Anyhow, congrats on the blockbuster guys! Incredible totals, though it seems like you guys do this annually now 

 

It was nerve-wracking to predict/follow this one back in NYC and it did not work out for us too well.. I'll take the 8" though

 

It gets said constantly but Logan may be the worst place in the city of Boston to have your official station. Middle of the harbor,  coolest location in the summer and warmest in the winter.  

Invest and put a monitoring station on Boston common for Christ sake.

BOS got 18" in boxing day.

[CoastalWx]

The Logan measurement had no marine issue. Was likely wind.

lol true

[MarkO]

I have literally been inside about 10 miles or less inside the western edge of the band for at least 4 hours now.  I keep thinking at some point, it's going to clear us and continue east, but so far, it just keeps holding on.  I'm about 2 miles northeast of the 93/495 intersection in Andover.  At this point, it's really getting kind of absurd. 

Yup, I'm west of Ray and probably 10 miles west of you, and all I've had is flurries in the past hour. Maybe another 0.1" by the looks of it.

was thinking about that, their snowboard is probably on asphalt too

I fell asleep at like 9 or 10 am after staying up all night and woke up at 2. I admittedly thought it was ramping down until I looked at mesoanalysis and saw the low just sitting in the GOM moving NW very slowly...

[Ginx snewx]

I may get one last hurrah

[TalcottWx]

Sidewalks are easy to clear here. Not much work. But the cars on the street is another story. Takes god damn forever as any past city res would know. I'm thinking about starting to dig out my car but it's extremely buried. Going to be a lot of work. I told Dad to pay the kid next door for the other cars if he could LOL. After this neck surgery I haven't had the same level of energy and the cold seems to cut right through me. Not sure why.

funny guy, I posted once at 623, I am stupefied that the bands have hung on so far SW

 

another weenie band is drifting on to you and garth's fannies in 15 minutes.

 

That stuff in Maine looked like it was gonna stop moving sw down the coast and sort of pivot 2 hours ago....yet it still gets pushed SW like it being compressed, interesting.

 

SO many places got CRUSHED today, I mean many areas right now are over 30 and approaching 35+ (and some are)

[Dotb]

Actually seems like it's pushing back out a little further west toward you in the last half hour or so.  

[N. OF PIKE]

This last push is putting this storm deep into the record books in several locations across SNE....wether weenie backyards or ORH airport.

[TalcottWx]

Last hurrah now. This stom is in its final hour. Shame it had to ever end. Low is pulling away... we will dry out.. banding will fragment.. rot... flurries.. then its onto the next one whenever it may be.

if you loop box radar

 

You can see up toward PSM/NH what's left of the Mega band from Maine that now has that Compressed look to it....it was just pushed SW down the coast relentlessly ....earlier on the Maine radar loop you could see (they remained mostly offshore) but looked like these low level weak wavy returns "pilling" W and SW pushing the band

[Clinch Leatherwood]

There's so much snow. I can't believe how much fell in last few hours

[ineedsnow]

when did it start?

Boxing Day was great in the NYC area but Boston proper got clobbered as well with 18-20. I think BOS got 18.9? Metrowest got shafted.

[rnaude241]

Nice moderate band coming down now.
