Just speculating. What did BOS actually end up with? About 6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 So last hour it appears all ASOS/AWOS sites in the GYX CWA were at 1/4SM or less. We take. Also that 59 mph gust at PWM was legit. Some true roof rattlers here today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perlstyle Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 In many ways a perfect mid March storm. Moments ago, went out brush off my car before my snowplow driver arrived. Possibly a full foot of cement. when I pushed the snow off the windshield, a perfect 10" slab of this cement slid in slow motion off the front hood of my car. It happened so slowly that I reached for my pocket for the video opp, but I left the cellphone inside. Nice, Juicy storm in any event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just inland made near a foot. That started to look that way yesterday. Otherwise Boston proper would have done 12" easily. But low pressure near NYC will furnace the layers below 850 easily. It was warmth aloft not boundary layer. Flake size went to crap then two plus hours of sleet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monadnocks Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Measured about 11" here about a half hour ago. Friend in MHT says that he has about 16" on the east side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikoss427 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I just got in from plowing my driveway and shoveling pathways. This stuff is like concrete here after the sleet and freezing rain. I got stuck turning around in the yard. It packed down like rock and ended up beaching my truck. So glad I gave up commercial plowing, this is the stuff that gets you stuck easy. Anyway, based on what I measured earlier plus the snow we got after, I had around 13" before it got packed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The models had a tilted system ...well, all evidence contained and thus far, that's worked out. It's true that we have encountered complexities of that nature and we'll do so again. It's part of the game. I think folks may have been attempting to redraft the synoptics in their head ..finding ways to get a better phased solution/hope of that sort of thing correcting in the closing hours or something. I've noticed in the past though ...in dealing with the general public and the weather, that happens a lot? People explain how things can correct toward more of what they or those like them, want, ...even spinning model run this or that toward that goal, and then... doe-eyed readers help feed-back and the next thing we know, folks are talked into believing a scenario is something its not. It's true that the runs sort of unraveled the better phased solution from last Friday (Euro), but ...technically, that was 4.5 at that temporal boundary, which I think is on the edge of it's wheelhouse scoring. Maybe there was hang over from that awesome Euro run, and ever since ... this system was never so far away that it couldn't get back there - but didn't As an example: the snow depictions of the 0z Euro (not just clown maps, the meteogram soundings + qpf) with 12 hours leadtime for Boston were about 200% reality. Maybe the synoptics were drawn correctly, but in this specific setup of a complex partial phase / tilted system / eroded antecedent airmass, it busted bad on what's happening on the ground. Definitely not it's best performance. And let's not bring in other locales... it was an absolute disaster for Philly. I'm curious what guidance performed best. Looking at runs yesterday, I'm thinking RGEM ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Eyewall and the Champlain Valley is going to jack in this region I think. They are the pivot point and its going to rot there. That band came through and gave me 7" in 2 hours...I can't imagine what its been doing in the northern Champlain Valley lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But honestly LOVE Magic and if I could afford a pass there I would buy one and split my skiing between the 2. Magic should do very very well from this. But from what I hear-and what I saw- K is in the jackpot zone. Tomorrow will be GOOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Closing in on 13" though visibility has come way up as we are right on the edge of the mid-level dry slot. All of it fell in essentially 7 hours...but more than that it was 7" in 2 hours that really did it as that band moved through. I figure we can maybe nickle and dime another 5" tonight and tomorrow for an 18" total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
