TheSnowman Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Just had a 3-Way with Jay and stay on the phone. I somehow came to The Snow Gold region of South Central NH and it was Not the winner. Snow now light, 7", best was 1.5" per hour. Wet Snow. I CAN NOT Believe the amount of Lightning Reports and 2 Separate valid Reports of 7"-8" per HOUR!! Only that crazy storm in like (Will help me out) 1997?.... in Northern MA had ANYTHING Like That. The Radar is Absurd. If ONLY this was all Snow for everyone, RI and SE MA would have got killed too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I don't think my rates went much above 2"/hr during the blizzard last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wackymann Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Chelmsford and Lowell have been ripping the past couple of hours. It's really piling up fast. I haven't gotten be out to measure recently, but it looks like a few inches already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWMan Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 And just like that, it's dumping here. Everything covered quickly. Wife says it's still pouring in the Old Port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not the kind of scientist who knows how to characterize snowflakes but it was cotton balls for a while, just huge clumps.

dendrite Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 ~0.20" at IZG and 0.15" at DAW in the can over the last hour. Plop a conservative 20:1 on those and there's 3-4"/hr right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoe456 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Was raining until 5 minutes ago. Looked outside again and is all snow - looks like it's getting heavier. Been sitting under this orange-red blob for the past few hours. Hoping it remains snow for the duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
