weathafella Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I realize some are frustrated and maybe 50 years ago when I was some of your ages I’d have been. I have no issue with the waxing and waning. Interestingly enough, had to go out with the dog for about 30minues and even in subby the needles accumulate. I measured 10.2 before I left but I was just inside the band for awhile while my other brookline and Boston posters were getting screwed. I would not be surprised to pick up another 4-6. Where I come from, a 15i incher is to be celebrated! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He found his yardstick. 22” I may be a multiple World Champion at the accordion, but I can look at almost any picture of anything and tell you how much snow there is. Is it me or is the Death Band about to go December 9, 2005 on us as it pulls out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry1978 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Cory, I wish you had flown home for this. 15 inches of man snow in your back yard is a lot more impressive than a 20 inch January fluff job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisStraight Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I got 17", still snowing hard but the band appears to be moving east. Good for you guys that haven't been in the band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROOSTA Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Thinking some had very high expectations, thus the critique. I regret posting the HRRR snow map from this morning. Was just trying to keep those expectation in check, that and showing amounts cut in 1/2. Whoa is me. Oh and I don't like those preliminary snow totals simply because there are to many gaps and are far from accurate as is every snow accumulation map. BLIZZARD conditions met in several locals. Bigger snow (fal)l storms with B Warnings issued had less on numerous occasions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A blizzard occurred today at several locations across southeastern New England. The definition of a blizzard is that falling and/or blowing snow reduced visibility to below 1/4 mile along with sustained winds or winds that frequently gust to 35 mph or more...and that these are the predominant conditions for a period of 3 consecutive hours. When reviewing whether a particular observation location had blizzard conditions, we counted visibilities equal to 1/4 mile, since that is quite low for an automated visibility sensor to detect. Blizzard criteria were still occurring at some locations as of this writing, so durations will need to be finalized on Wednesday. At Boston, MA, blizzard criteria were met, starting at 830 AM. At Martha`s Vineyard, MA, blizzard criteria were met, starting at 800 AM. There was a 3-hour wind-data outage, but mesonet data at Vineyard Haven indicated continuous gusts at or above 35 mph during that period. At Marshfield, MA, blizzard criteria were met, starting at 855 AM. There was a wind-data outage between 915 AM and 1155 AM, but mesonet data from Duxbury were used as a proxy and indicated nearly continuous gusts at or above 35 mph during that time period. At Plymouth, MA blizzard criteria were met, starting at 732 AM and continuing through 1025 AM and likely beyond, but there was a prolonged data outage after that time. At Hyannis, MA blizzard criteria were met, starting at 730 AM. At Newport, RI, blizzard criteria were met, starting at 850 AM. $$ Field I'm flabbergasted about Newport. Guess it doesn't hurt when the obs isn't in Newport and is in one of the largest open spaces in the state. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So resources are better used updating the forecast, briefings, and taking in reports. It's a treat that BOX even puts the effort in mid storm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherWilly Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 About 9 inches here now, maybe more. Slowed down around lunchtime but has been pounding for last few hours. Heard a few more reports of thunder offshore which would match the radar blips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmanmitch Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Snow has increased a little and skies have darkened as the remains of the I-91 band have pivoted back here. Looking forward to what kind of backside upslope I can get. I'm a tad east of the spine axis, so I may not get quite as much as Woodford to my NW, but am close enough that I can do well as long as the flow isn't super blocked. We may upslope right through Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoth Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I measured 3.5" for the storm total a few hours ago, which has already melted down to an inch of slush. Roads are bare and all the trees have more or less dripped all the snow off. I'm getting flashbacks to my childhood in the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 It's cat in a bag mentality... They do that, cats will "hide" by jamming their heads in small paper bags, while their whole entire ass end and tail stick out ... Only in this paradigm, the user's storm-head is jammed up in their backyard, and instead of thinking about the entire panoply of the storm extent sticking out side their immediate observable distance to the tree lines... they've formulated what the storm was within that observable distance.
