SR Airglow Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Measured between 1.5" and 2.25", going to call it 1.75" and since we're down to flurries that's final unless we get another surprise band to pop up. Fun event even if the final number was a bit of a bust. Onto tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Just had a great 30 second burst of huge flakes with almost full sun out. Wut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Fun event In Boston metro, the largest flake diameters may have surpassed the ground accumulation. Definitely heaviest rates of the season, and largest flakes I think I've ever seen, legit 2"+ flakes. For Boston metro, lots of the accumulation was wasted with melting in between bands 6-7am... And I think we'd have had a better shot at 3-4" if it was just a few degrees colder. It was still 32-34F at 7:30am, so aside from the band with the incredible snowgrowth, the snowfall was mostly wasted. I was a bit surprised how much qpf was wasted at the onset near and east of 128...I knew it would be some, but I expected a bit quicker accumulation than what happened. But regardless, hard to complain too much about this event given how lightning fast it was moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Wind had been roaring pretty great right up until 9am when the wind advisory officially started. Then it was weirdly calm for 40 minutes. Starting to ramp back up now. Some 50+ gusts later on would be splendid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NECT Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 About 4" here. Spent an hour or so cutting up and moving a bunch of pine limbs/branches out of my driveway. Waiting for wind now I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Kind of dangerous walking the dog. One large limb gave way about 15 feet from me. A whole tree down on grove street in chestnut hill...lots of smaller branches and limbs.....and that's just from the snow. Wind should howl pretty good in the next few hours.

Well at least it was something...I thought you'd do better early this morning. Seems like even when things look decent, the radar just falls apart when it gets to NW MA, lol...every time. But it won't stop me for next system...I think you'll do decent tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Beautiful picture right there! ...wow. Eye popper. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Not that anyone asked but this system totally avoided the Rt 2 corridor up here in Northern Mass. I think that was pretty well depicted by about half the guidance, with perhaps half showing more impact here. All in all...within acceptable error/expectations; particularly considering the exceptionally compact nature of this system. Not sure this could have been modeled virtually any closer to what took place across the region. I would like to say... while not a very good analog for Dec 2005 in the larger synoptic scope, certainly the curled presentation of these system exiting radar loops definitely hearkened to that event, with meso-beta scaled arcing bands of cyclonic storm structure wrapping around a Cape and Island vort core transit; and all at less than synoptic scales. Fascinating these types of ordeals... Also, not much wind accompanied this here, either. We've gusted a couple times to perhaps 30 mph, but nothing compared to ORD over to Gary IN's 60 + like they had yesterday over the southern Great Lakes region. So all in all, quite forgettable. The sky is now brightening as the sun threatens to cleave through the back edge of the fledgling comma head cloud shield. SAT does argue for at least a partial sun afternoon.

512high Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 ASH gusted to 40mph Yes, correct, wide open area, unless winds are due to arrive soon, thought, and could be wrong, we were to get sustaining 25 mph, with gust, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I never understood all the wind hype. Best was SW of the vort until it wrapped up at the cape. Pretty typical post CAA stuff. Had a brief stinger period of 40s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I'd say of all modeling the NAM did the best. It locked onto that southern track and didn't waver. More specifically the 4K NAM. the 12K was north a run or 2. GFS was useless..Euro was not good. RGEM went north and south a few times. HRRR was good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Well the narrow 6-8" areas occurred. I thought it would be a bit better to the north, but perhaps the tightness of this bugger was enough to prevent it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
