Paleocene Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Holy ****, watching the sun rise on this beast is incredible with GOES16: http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/exper/?parms=regional-northeast-02-48-0-100 The low is definitely moving more NE than N right now.

cae Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Great winter weather this morning. Powder blowing everywhere, with wind gusts of 30 mph around 8am and of 31 mph around 10am. There are bare patches on my lawn next to 10" drifts. It's almost impossible to measure the snow, but I took a Jebwalk and did my best. I'm going to guess 1.5", but realistically it could be anywhere from 1-2". Fwiw, I think Balitmore County made the right call to close schools today. Tree branches are falling, snow (and trash cans and trash) are blowing everywhere, and my road still hasn't been cleared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been watching that too. The storm looks and acts just like a "winter Hurricane." It actually looks a lot better than most hurricanes do at this latitude. Weatherwatcher007's video shows the power of this storm. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll try to measure, but my usual spots are completely wind blown. There were several places at 1” earlier. I’ll go out and try to get a good measurement and let you know.

Measured several places where there was no obvious drifting and all were 9-10". Looks like a pretty decent chance of 12"+ here. Just took a Jebwalk and tried to measure here as well. At least 10 here and still coming down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grothar of Herndon Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Nice light snow past couple of hours. It looks to be squeezing out last bit of moisture. Total here is a wind blown 1-1.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Anyone have access to Wind Radii for this storm? I want to calculate the Integrated Kinetic Energy of the storm. It's got to be huge, almost Sandy-esque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad we all couldn't pull off 4, 5 inches. It was close. Nonetheless it's some serious winter out there today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 1 hour ago, Kingstonian said: Wow, that's one of the biggest difference I've seen between us on a small storm. I just went out to re-measure (09:45) and had only 0.9". Yeah. It’s heavily tainted due to wind but it’s the spot I always use with solid results. It’s been snowing lightly all morning and I bet if I went to measure again I’d get the same reading. Wind is nasty and messing it all up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparky Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Measuring somewhere between .75 and an inch hard to tell since I am on a wind swept hill. the current band is spitting out some nice dendrites so maybe I'll add some more. Can't say I am disappointed but those late models did add a bit of weenieism to my expectations. Better than Boxing Day debacle at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
