Organizing Low Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 very impressive storm this way. unfortunately had to sleep during the height of it during the day as i am working nights. couldnt get out of the parking lot (where i park) to work, had to have hospital security come and get me lots of people were unable to get home tonite and back to burlington from here in saint albans, due to the height of the storm being around the commute home time.... many were put up for the night by the hospital, or just crashed in empty patient rooms. not sure what the final total will be here but i am expecting to top 20 inches, with snow still falling and should through the morning hours. somebody at work reported we had 18 inches at 9pm.

Montreal proper seemed to stay just north of the death band. If u notice the snowfall rates didn't become super heavy...I bet they were 10cm/hr. just south of there. I thought maybe the unusual strong winds the dendrite experienced could have been caused by the same phenomenon. Idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk. totally agree. in fact was going to post something similar the area between myself and montreal was what i thought was the location of the deathband for quite some time. i noticed that too on radar, though the band did eventually pivot N and West across the island eventually. of course we will never know as there will be no obs from that region i should just drive 30 minutes N and check it myself. i bet its a widespread 2 feet + in that area.

Very light snow now with 16.2" as of 8:30pm. Someone in that band in NY across the lake will hit 30. NAM had this modeled very well in the final cycles before the storm. literally right across the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a good ol' fashioned 1990s Nor' Easter...like I said earlier, reminded me a bit of March '94. You could have made an argument of calling it an anorexic '93 Superstorm. Those storms that used hit a huge swath of the northeast. perrfect analogy i thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 HRRR-TLE (that's right sounds like turtle) 18 hour lead time on blizzard conditions up here I mean 90-100% is a confident forecast alright.

Hahah well I was mentioning it this time because someone said they reported over 24 which can't be since they had 17.8 at 4am or so and I never saw an update after that . Anyway with the drifting it is all best estimates. The plow walls are huge and we are buried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Ok so I likely low balled it here and measured where too much snow blew out as NWS BTV is reported 24.8". Either way it is deep out there and just about the largest synoptic event I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okemo looks to have a little less but still utterly blanketed. Things will still be epic for the weekend. Look at the temps,and potentially a little more snow may fall. It's a win-win for you Thanks! Skiing today at Magic or Stratton. Probably will decide in Brattleboro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
