Looks to be collapsing east now though, I figure a couple hours left and out to clean.. 14.5" 21/17 SN I would think 14.5" will almost certainly put you at the top of the ALY PNS as far as totals as concerned.

Thunderblizzard Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Wind is going crazy. Barely snowing but it's basically a whiteout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next board check comes at my regular 9 PM obs time. Wind gusts probably below 30, so no blizz, just puking snow. Wow, nice! Didn't think the ratio would be that high. Can't wait to hear your total.

I clear a path every hour to the birds and it’s 2-3” every time...compaction city where I’m actually measuring. Deep deep deep winter this weekend. Breathe it in ladies and fellas. I'm getting the urban experience here, had a couple great Jebwalks and soon gonna walk over to a restaurant. And then tomorrow out in the country enjoying the drifting, the snowscape, and seeing how snow behaves on my roofs, and where the drifts are setting up. You are getting the rotting deform we all dream of - Congrats Dendrite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this will start coming to an end fairly quickly for most in the next hour or two Really puts early towel throwing into perspective Starting to lighten up a bit here, but still coming down nicely.

Greg Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Lincoln, MA had about 17" about 30 minutes ago. I think another jack potential is there besides Taunton. Somewhere near the Bedford and Concord, Mass area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amped Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 10 minutes ago, H2Otown_WX said: 9.2" here, ranges between 10.3 and 8 in the yard so board total seems reasonable. Snow growth was pretty bad for the second half of the storm since we weren't under the good bands the majority of the time. Still an overperformer by a good margin though. Getting around the same here in Westport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSnowman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Driveway / Grass / Usual measuring spots Total: 6"-7" Actual Total - 12.25" A FOOT!! 32nd 12"+ Storm since the Great Snow Era Began in 1992-1993. Now hoping for 15". Would be 16th in that time frame. Do Note - Last Years February Bombogenisis Bomb was well better for me and many others. 2" Per Hour for 5 hours, 4" per hour for 2 hours in many places, 19" Highest Totals.

Sugarloaf1989 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 12 minutes ago, MetHerb said: The ski area was in Holyoke on a 1200' ridge. As someone growing up just south of the border and driving to Springfield on an almost daily basis for school I encountered lots of times where it was raining/green south of the border and snowing there, but that was back in the 70s/80s. Then again, this is a discussion for another thread/time. I skied there in 1998, just before they went out of business. The climate has also changed, because My Tom, Maple Valley and Ascutney have all gone out of business in the last 20 years. The CRV is no longer ski area freindly.

bobbutts Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Managed to get in a decent band here for what appears to be the finale. 10" in my spot near the door, but that could be a bit off due to wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahk_webstah Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Jeff and I are starting to lighten up according to radar. Meanwhile that deformation band is just curling stationary over Dendrite and rotting. Its like that ENY band that sets up in so many noreasters.

Greenfield was nicknamed "Winterland" from the turn of the century up through the 50's because it was a winter recreation center for the lower valleydue to guaranteed snow sports and ice skating.

DomNH Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Snowgrowth in this last midlevel magic band is fantastic. Can't really measure anymore as the winds have gotten stronger but I'm going to pull 15" out of this. Most since Feb '15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere near the Bedford and Concord, Mass area. went out about 2PM to shovel (Concord) and unscientifically measured 8 1/2" in my driveway but it's been snowing hard here since then. Someone in Concord reported 15" - I was dubious but your 17" would support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
