hammerz_nailz Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Yes. It is the next best thing to a snowboard. I think our driveway may be affected by wind. It's totally exposed to the east. There was almost 16" on top of our cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was almost 16" on top of our cars.I don't know what to tell you. There's nothing inherent about a car top that would cause it to accumulate more snow. If you have it backed against your house that's probably not ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruinsyear Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 9.5-10" here in Rowley, MA. Pretty good dumping when I was only expecting 3-6" and I thought the 6" was a big stretch. Total paste job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 You measure on the grass? Why not a car top? That's what I do. Wind and trees. I had to go to my neighbors. My 2 measurements added to 10.5. That pic was just obligatory, in the ground pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backedgeapproaching Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Haven't read it yet...are they saying DCA is supposed to report every 24hrs? Not to sidetrack off the awesome paste/sunset shots(which are amazing), but here is snippet from WestminsterDeathband regarding the DCA thingy. Basically a comedy of errors including actually "losing the snowboard" during the storm. lol Can move to banter if needed. IF, and someone in the know is free to correct the record if it needs to be corrected. IF my understanding is correct, they had one snowboard, and it got buried in the snow at some point and they couldn't find it. So they had to improvise. At 2:52 pm, 17" had fallen. I have video from 2:51 pm, and it is apocalyptic looking in downtown DC yet somehow only 0.8" fell the next 2 hours. At 4:52 pm when it was still snowing hard, evidenced not only by the 4:52 OB, but also by the fact that 0.04" liquid was captured in the following hour (we know it is probably at least 0.06"), they measured 17.8", and quit measuring the storm. So, just to be clear. They measured 17.8" at 4:52 PM - almost certainly a snow depth measurement - and finalized the total. And then it snowed for another 7 hours. Again. If I am not getting the facts right, someone can please feel free to correct me. I am not here to perpetuate something that isn't true or is misleading.

Baroclinic Zone Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Still no power. This is as long as I can remember. Spent the last couple hours cleaning my own and a neighbors driveways. The sunset was spectacular! Awesome storm. 10-11" of pasty snow caked to everything as the pictures I posted show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Awesome ride home. I leave where there's practically nothing on unplowed paved surfaces and coming home to 12-13" covering tables and everything. The snow covered trees and the sunset behind certainly helped. Awesome pictures everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna be a long , cold couple of days The city has its own power plant/company, I imagine it'll be all set by tomorrow. On the other hand, I saw a *lot* of trees and lines primed to snap earlier. We'll see, for now it's a novel experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlantStickers Anonymous Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 7.5" Final. Not bad, not great. I either got that or 8", but I might as well go conservative and call 7.5. Solid event, and now the loss of power provides and excuse for drunken flashlight tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Miser Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 5,000+ people without power at one point in my town of about 7,500. Limb was down all day on my road. cars were going off the road all day near it. Today was a 5 sheer pin day for my snow thrower. Yup...5 SHEER PINS. I sometimes go multiple seasons without breaking one, but today was the winner. The combination of the rain, and spring like ground conditions moving the rocks around on the surface followed by the snow brought about the perfect sheer pin storm. One rock is still wedged in there. I will have to try and drill it out tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 7.5" Final. Not bad, not great. The usual negative Ray spin somehow makes it into an event, LOL. I got 7" or so, you can say you beat me. That early snowhole probably did it plus the warm sidewalks and streets. This aint Andover anymore. My deck got like double the accumulation of the street.
