40/70 Benchmark Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 11" will do it here. Good forecast, but wish I had stuck with 8-14", as opposed to going 10-16" for final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pile the banks high , neat, and deep. Probably when I get older. Where the plow piles 2 feet at end of driveway is tough An endurance athlete should have no problems.

In any case, above for the season with plenty in the pipeline. Who knew? So glad I melted! You're all welcome! Yeah it will be close to 15, this stringy back edge had impact. Nice to have some winter juju back in SNE. Cool how much that 1-5pm deformation band carried this storm for us. There was only about 3-4" on the ground 7am-1pm. Anyone know liquid equivalent in Boston? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowgeek Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Biggest snowfall of the decade?If have to do some research, but I'm pretty sure we've had several 12-15" storms. 2007 VD was my last 18"er.

Yukon Cornelius Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 What an awesome storm. The snow was heavier than I thought for temps in the 20's. Nice to know it's not going to get zapped the next day. Long live winter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They jump up and down, and completely messed up the other day with 2.5" (Stole the slanticker chelsea number).They have no observer and they have questionable amounts. 15 seemed steep considering they sort of were screwed for awhile..but whatever. Wind makes it a higher margin of error too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR Airglow Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 15" at Logan seems a little high to me - I have no reliable measurement due to wind and not having a good spot to begin with, but my average of many measurements was around 12-13" or so. I'm going to go with that(12.5") for my records unless other reports come in that disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda silly I was one of those east peeps that was frustrated this morning. I think it comes down to: 1) snowgrowth was absolutely horrible for first 6 hours... vs. CT / western MA where it came in like a wall with great snowgrowth from onset. That difference was not anticipated from soundings, and fortunately the heavy rates in the deformation band made up for it later. That's why I was asking about liquid equivalent in Boston. 2) the dry areas in NE MA seemed alot worse than guidance showed... we had posters up there wondering if the sun would come out. Yes, the 0z NAM / RGEM / Euro had relatively lower qpf in NE MA, and CoastalWx even warned people would get worried, but I don't think people expected extended periods without a flake. 3) I do wonder if KBOS truly saw 15" or something closer to 12" as others have said, but maybe we're splitting hairs with all the wind. However we got there, in the end we saw 4" / hr rates, thundersnow, blizzard conditions, a death band... awesome storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually saw it hanging on the post last night and didn't think anything of it. A few years ago my snow blower injested an extension cord that I used to electric start it. Thank god it wasn't plugged in. It messed up the auger big time but I fixed it. Today, I recorded 12", but NWS has a 16.1" report from my town. I had earlier went in an 11.0" one. Today was wry hard to measure Winds are wicked tonight. Already 9.4F and dropping. 2 of our 4 districts in house have 2 hour delays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 The worst fooking cleanup I can recall in recent history. The bottom 3" was cement that gummed up the snowblower and stuck to the shovel. Took a couple hours to clean the driveway a cut a path around the house for the dog and oil delivery. Call it 15" from what I can measure. Drifts 2'+ all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
