codfishsnowman Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 4.5 final....meh...avg depth 21 or so, still a long ways from four years ago...lots of hours of snow and poor rates....a friend of mine in Marshfield estimates nearly 50 inches otg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterfish55 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Just finished snowblowing/shoveling. 16-18" of white air. Can't believe how light the new snow is. Total depth is hard to judge because of drifting, but it's more than 36" for sure. The wind is gusty, but not sustained. When it does gust though....Total white out. Awesome storm for this area. Learned a lot.... We're on to Tuesday. Any doubt that things will fall right and we get buried again? Just the way it's going.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Got to cut them some slack here...this storm was just modeled terribly, of course all the armchair mets don't know that. I don't think it was modeled that poorly. We will need to see the water equivalents. .4 to .7 seemed to be the safest bet, Harv says some got 30 to 1. Gfs was atrocious rest weren't too bad euro was by far the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 This takes the cake..I mean..think about this Eric Fisher @ericfisher 9m 9 minutes ago So that stat I mentioned last night rings true. Boston with more snow in 3 weeks than Chicago has ever seen in an entire winter. Madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newer AWPAGs do a better job since they're a weighing gauge using an environmentally friendly antifreeze. The OTT ATDD alter type windshields really minimize the wind effects, but I have no idea which sites are equipped with what. Anything with a heated tipping bucket...fuggedabout it.I had a snow core last night that was about 35:1 with 7.5" of snow. I take them right off of my snow board with my 4" stratus manual gauge...then add a measured amount of hot water to melt it and then subtract it out of the final total. I don't think I've ever had a sample with that much snow with that little liquid and I've been doing this since about 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWMan Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Still can't get over the snowfall gradient in south coastal Maine. 24" for York Beach, 13" in Saco, 5" in Portland. That's a 40-mile stretch -- only 10-15 between the latter two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Euro was the most bullish for snow here and busted badly It was like 4-5 runs in a row just pounding almost the entire length of the Maine coast...that is not a small area. It's different than us down here saying "well it was great for ORH to BOS but was awful in HFD"...that kind of thing...this was a pretty large scale bust in that area. I don;t think I've seen it choke that bad that close to an event...this is including the NYC blizzard bust too where it was kind of over-blown because it busted by like 30-40 miles, but it was just a metro center with 20 million people. I thought the Euro was getting its mojo back after the storm last weekend and sniffing out the lack of an event on Thursday last week....but it took another monster dump in this event...its worst of the season. Ray is right...it has been a winter to forget for the Euro to this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mips Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 North Andover/Boxford/Middleton, MA corner: 12.75 inches here in an undrifted field before the current winds began - i.e. the wide parking pad bordered by much, much higher snow shoulders.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I would disagree.Was being facetious. Euro was awful in Maine GFS was awdul most everywhere. Overall the rgem had a decent idea on "a" band in eastern areas but really only the hrrr and rap runs after 18z yesterday correctly targeted that banding.Gfs led several offices down the path to getting slammed again today, euro too. It's a weird deal the euro clearly is broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostman Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Just took a drive. Suns out - wind is howling. Really is beautiful out there. Deep winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Also guys lets be realistic the winds busted low badly. There were very limited gusts even into the 50-60 range and no widespread devastating power outages as many were indicating. I was just out and about on 495 and route 3, roads are fine in the "blizzard" zone. Blacktop in many main roads despite some snow blowing around. In many ways that made this more enjoyable, but it wasn't the wind tempest predicted either and that owes partly to the Maine whiff too...just wasn't the storm modeled a few runs ago. Huge but pretty far out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray is right...it has been a winter to forget for the Euro to this point. Yeah, I really don't know which model really performed well on this event, We never got two runs in a row with models holding onto the same solution, As strange as it sounds the GGEM right from the get go showed us in the screw zone every run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Yeah. The euro is best at H5 and for identifying threats in that d4-5 range, but my god has it struggled with cyclogenesis this winter. Maybe it's a clipper/miller B issue or it too is just too hires for its own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
