40/70 Benchmark Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Lollis to 18 inches seemed the upper bound to me, maybe an isolated lolli to 19 or 20. But two feet seems a little to me. Yes, that is absolute bull$hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSnowman Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 WE HAVE a 40" TOTAL from the BLIZZARD Confirmed!! "The deck is 36 inches tall. When we measured with a yardstick, we got 33 inches of snow. All around us got the same." as I e-mailed them and that was the response, Shown in the video for total proof. http://instagram.com/p/yaVu9Zsrlo/ 33" in that storm is At LEAST 40" Storm Total, more like 41" or 42".

Dotb Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I can confirm we are still getting pummeled in NE Mass. This is outrageous. Wind is probably blowing harder right now than it has all day. Pretty damn impressive. Definitely over 15" here in Andover, after 30"+ last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 i have my doubts they had 2' The three towns bordering them all reported over 18. Taking into account the fitchburg ob was from 3pm, they may also have over 20 now. LUNENBURG 24.1 530 PM 2/02 TRAINED SPOTTER WESTMINSTER 23.1 541 PM 2/02 TRAINED SPOTTER LEOMINSTER 20.7 517 PM 2/02 TRAINED SPOTTER FITCHBURG 18.8 345 PM 2/02 TRAINED SPOTTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxeyeNH Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Cleared 10" at noon. Another 5.5" at four. Another inch now. Probably 16-17" new here. NorEastermass, the way your doing it would over inflate the official measurements at your location. With the density of the snow being so light it compacts very easily. Any extra weight brings decreases the columns width. So if you cleared at noon (assuming that was about 6 hours after start time) you should not have taken your next measurement till 6pm. So really that last weight of that inch never compacted the 5.5. It really does cut down in the storm total. That is one reason the NWS totals are less than someone that is clearing sooner than the 6 hours. If someone cleared a board every hour and took an hourly measurement I bet they would be at 20" with this type of cold "fluff" snow. I'm just posting all this so others too do it the right way if they have time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Ugh. Stuck for the night in KPIT. Glad you guys got clocked with this one... What an odd event. I definitely didn't expect that back edge to be so prolific!! Did any models pick that up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 The amounts there are prob upper teens to 20". Maybe a bit more. I talked to a few friends in the area and they are saying 2 feet on cleared driveways and walkways. Figure some exaggeration. I will ask our facilities guy when I see him. He measures at our school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely didn't expect that back edge to be so prolific!! Did any models pick that up? GGEM had been showing it for several runs but backed off a shade when we got close. Euro last night hinted at it but nothing to the extent which occurred. The two Canadian models have been killing it this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pulled up the 12z bufkit soundings earlier and nothing really jumped out at me for this +SN during the afternoon. Definitely an odd evolution.

Baroclinic Zone Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Interesting. Mid level frontogenesis under modeled? I pulled up the 12z bufkit soundings earlier and nothing really jumped out at me for this +SN during the afternoon. Definitely an odd evolution. I think part of what helped this evolution was the rapid redevelopment of the SLP around ACK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
