wxsniss Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Surprised my old hood in Brookline Village per wxniss did poorly. Here I have a winter wonderland with encrusted trees and crushed daffodils....did not measure but it's at least 3. Elevation ftw? Just a couple of hundred feet made the difference I guess. Yeah Jerry. And I'm sure the 3+ you and others report are there... the photos speak for themselves. Here we had maybe 1-2" accumulated only on cars and tree limbs (I did not measure), and a barely visible slushy film on roads and sidewalks. Hence why I think the heat-capacity-of-standing water theory was definitely a factor in minimizing accumulations. And despite our shared county (or are you in the Middlesex part of Chestnut Hill?), I think my ground accumulations are probably closer to SR Airglow's in Fenway than to yours. Hence why elevation must have been a factor in this too, as Ginx pointed out. By 1pm here, there was essentially no trace of snow, and I bet that's different for you as well. Heat-capacity-of-standing water, elevation... these are all factors that will make a location more sensitive to snowfall rates. I share Will's surprise that we didn't accumulate better in some areas. It was a fun event regardless! Nice to have something worthy of a 5am Sunday wakeup alarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 there was nothing on the pavement and 1.5 on the porch and grassy surfaces about the same...don't use a snowboard there's several miles difference between where I am and your folks are, I have often observed a few more inches deeper into e longmeadow....just a black hole here for snow My friend who lives in Springfield near the East Longmeadow line had 2.7".

Not too shabby on property values also. Definite snow cover here at 2:25 pm but the April sun even with cloudy periods is doing its work. What is the final at Bos? They were 1 as of 7am and at least a few more hours of moderate snow after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It began to stick very easily. In fact, I would argue a cold rain is really good to get ground temps cold so that you can get the all important slush film to start and off we go. I 33-35Frain will cool anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Well, I had just under 1" in the 4am burst. Up in MPM land now and looks like about 2" here. Oh 2" up by MPM isn't that bad...I figured 2-4 there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC-CT Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I hope you get no snow for ten yearsI hope you are the local jack for 10 years in a row and get 30% more than the 1000' higher elevations to each side of you in every storm. I pray for massive late season storms where the CRV stays all snow while anywhere above 500' rains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 The seasonal snow departure here has fallen to -46.3 inches putting us at 39% of the seasonal average. We will likely reach the 600 day mark by the time next winter rolls around since the last warning level snow event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely scary. That's 3 local fatalities due to wet snow down trees this winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
