He is coming in the morning and thinks it will be fixed by evening. He picks up and delivers. Thankfully, a neighbor we are friends with got us cleared out. I shoveled some, but we have a long driveway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AT MARSHFIELD MA...BLIZZARD CRITERIA WERE MET FOR 3 HOURS AND 40 MINUTES...FROM 1215 PM TO 355 PM. AT NEW BEDFORD MA...BLIZZARD CRITERIA WERE MET FOR 3 HOURS AND 38 MINUTES...FROM 1132 AM TO 310 PM. AT WESTERLY RI...BLIZZARD CRITERIA WERE MET FOR 3 HOURS AND 35 MINUTES...FROM 1153 AM TO 328 PM. WE HAVE DETERMINED THAT BLIZZARD ALSO OCCURRED AT CHATHAM MA... PROVINCETOWN MA...AND NORTH SMITHFIELD RI. AT CHATHAM MA...BLIZZARD CONDITIONS BEGAN AT 107 PM AND CONTINUED THROUGH AT LEAST 336 PM WHEN COMMUNICATIONS ISSUES OCCURRED. HOWEVER THREE HOURS LATER VISIBILITIES WERE STILL 1/4 MILE AND WINDS WERE STILL STRONG. AT PROVINCETOWN MA...BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WERE CONFIRMED FROM 1256 PM THROUGH AT LEAST 356 PM BUT WINDS WENT MISSING AFTER 450 PM. AT NORTH SMITHFIELD RI...BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WERE REPORTED FROM 1056 AM TO 108 PM BUT WINDS WENT MISSING AT THAT TIME. VISIBILITY CRITERIA WERE MET THROUGH 356 PM. NEAR-BLIZZARD CONDITIONS OCCURRED AT LAWRENCE MA...WHICH MET CRITERIA FOR 2 HOURS AND 39 MINUTES... AND AT NORWOOD MA...

dendrite Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 The ASOS also has some automated BLSN obs during the 50kt gusts. The ultrasonic is probably icing up or taking on some snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professional Lurker Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Saw this graphic from BOX on Facebook. It's accurate for my area.

amarshall Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 My rant of the evening. Just went out to make sure my traction controlled could be turned off on the truck in a large parking lot. Zero plows out and they've called school. The snow is super light and they could have it done by midnight. Absolutely zero reason for school to be called tomorrow.

The 4 Seasons Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 14.5 was the final in North Haven with Thunder Snow today and 2-3 per rates, I would say this was a good storm... Looks like my forecast of 10-18 was nearly perfect for the state as 95% or more fell between that range some 18-19 amounts and i think maybe some <10 in extreme SE CT. Please quote me or PM me your FINAL totals and ill put an excel spread sheet together and make an accumulation map as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfishsnowman Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 2 hours ago, wxsniss said: 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. ne mass experience today was in some ways like jan of 2015 back here but without the strong finish we got lucky this time, really lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmanmitch Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 13.5" total here. A nice event. I had 3.5" in 30 minutes this morning during the height of the meso band. Huge dendrite aggregates just pouring out of the sky and added up very quickly. Pure fluff and much easier to remove than the 2" of sleet we had 2 weeks ago (which is still there under the fresh snow). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
