N. OF PIKE Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 last few frames radar turned to doggy doo (aside from Pym coast and S shore into Quincy) but we have some new echoes entering CT , this time from the SW....hmmm wonder if this can amount to squat. Watching CF like a hawk.... green echoes are building up thru "da hahba" now and are very close to makin it on the beaches in se Essex county Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 We're actually getting a bit of sleet mixing in tonight. Almost like snow pellets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Radar looks awful. What is ginxy seeing that I'm not? It should begin to crank your way in the next hour or two tops. CF is making the pinch move now and that should spread the wealth to the N&W pretty quickly. Still seems like it's catching at times....but?

leesun Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Ok cool so 4.1" before the clear for total. That's pretty decent. Rap had qpf of 0.73" from 23z to 17z for us so I'm hoping for at least 6 more inches by 17z on top of the 4.1". Ok, it's pinging outside. Didn't expect that. Prob just poor snow growth so snow pellets but wind blowing it against the window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N. OF PIKE Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Radar looks awful. What is ginxy seeing that I'm not? There will be a rejuvenation when those echoes moving up from the SW over CT move over the area. CF backing west a bit....lets let the CF set us up Jerry.

Baroclinic Zone Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Cliff jumpers galore. It's going to snow off and on for the next 24-30 hours and varying intensities. Do the math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 50 mins ago It's been Swiss cheese all night. The only way BOS hits the bottom of the 18 range is to limp 6 in the 12 hours 7pm to 7am and maybe 8 in the next 12 hours. That would give us the most anemic 19 inches in history...lol.

Yeah the radar looks almost exactly how i thought it would...pulses of steadier snow with some holes in it...it will get some enhancement in E MA every time those pulses move over....you don't snow for 60 hours and get 15" with hours of heavy snow....otherwise we'd be talking 4-5 feet of snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthieWX Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Here's a report from South Boston: Took the bus home around 45 minutes ago from South End. Snow was terrible until shortly after 7pm. It has been snowing moderately since then with at least an inch during that time. Temperature is 13*. All the roads are snowcovered, even with numerous plows on the road, including big pieces trying to widen main arteries with no cars parked on them. What has surprised me most (besides how cold it is) has been the wind, as it has become quite breezy, with notable blowing and drifting of snow. I can't see the Pru and Hancock from South Boston as usual, so visibility is about a half mile or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthCoastMA Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 It's a very showery snow. About 1" since 8pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Mountains always win. Our observers from northern Coos to Sugarloaf have picked up 4" today alone. Meanwhile the middle of the forecast area is getting all the dry air. Isn't that a Blues Traveller song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Yeah will, this is playing out pretty much as I expected, minus the colder trends. I've been eyeing after midnight into the morning as the best accumulating snow period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been eyeing after midnight into the morning as the best accumulating snow period. What is curious is watching the HRRR cut back every run. Can't figure out if it's just delaying or a real shift. (0z was dropping 3-4, maybe 5" over Cape Anne next several hours, new is only 2-3" next 5 to 6 hours total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 No doubt past midnight to noon is the best time to book. Best lift is probably between 09z and 15z...that's when I'd expect to see a few bursts of heavier snow embedded in the SN- party. Some mid-level lift will add a steroid-boost to the low level stuff which has been the primary factor. But nobody shoul dbe expecting hours of SN+...not ever really on the table in this event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Heaviest snow is actually just east of me. Been coming down hard, but snow growth isn't all that great.

(0z was dropping 3-4, maybe 5" over Cape Anne next several hours, new is only 2-3" next 5 to 6 hours total. That's funny - I thought the last two runs of the HRRR have looked snowier than the previous runs. Then again, I'm looking at my area near the bay in RI, rather than up towards Cape Ann. Perhaps with the colder solution the heavier totals might end up a little farther south... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
