HoarfrostHubb Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 May of 1977 the damage was pretty bad but it was 6-12”, 20” for some. Where I was living leaves were all out. Lots of damage. This looks more like 2002 if we get lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I was living in Maryland for May 7 1977 but the folks lived in Wayland. Roads were impassable with so many limbs down. I think they had perhaps 6" living 18 miles west of Boston. Up here for my crazy Memorial Day snow of several years back I measured 3.1" and it brought down limbs and we lost power. So the 33F glop can definitely do damage in areas with leaf out. Like Dave said the people with the best chance of accum snow do not have full leaf out but even buds and small leaves increase the chance of power outages versus a winter 33F glopping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beford coop had 9.5" just a couple towns northeast and then well south in Franklin had 8"+. There was a coop report of 5" in Framingham but it looks a bit low to me given the other totals. It's possible the Framingham reading was taken on lake cochituate or something which may have lowered the total. Parts of wayland border that lake too so lower totals could have been there. Or they didn't take the measurement until well after the event ended. Regardless...6" would have caused immense damage anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I read the post and was thinking wayland def had more given Bedford’s 9.5” but only Will would go That detailed . Will is there any potential for this to surprise to upside and what areas and what scenarios would be required , if you could elaborate pleaseeeeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upper and mid levels looks better for CNE and Maine. In order to get SNE in the game for more than slop above 800 or 1000 feet...maybe have this travel just a tick south and deeper...give me some big time omega in the DGZ and then we could see some surprises.

The folks lived in the extreme SE part of Wayland near Rt 30 and the Weston line. I'm sure their measuring was not that accurate too. I think that storm was the benchmark of late storms in E Mass and the early October storm (around 1980??) was the benchmark on the other end. Of the 2 storms, I wonder which was the most unusual as compared to climatology? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I just pick our national blend temps at 09z Tue, the AVERAGE temp for all grid points 1000 ft and higher is 36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the 2 storms, I wonder which was the most unusual as compared to climatology? The May '77 storm was a lot more anomalous because of the amounts. The early October 1979 storm didn't have much more than a couple to 3 inches in the lower elevations of E MA while 1977 had 8-10" in many spots. ORH did have 7.5" in the '79 storm but the May '77 storm had over a foot there with 20" just north of ORH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 The airmass isn’t really modifying either. If anything the source region is there near Maine. As the flow pulls more from the NE and drier air works in again, that will flash 925 to -1 or so again. Throw that against the east slopes with upslope helping to cool, and it’s certainly looking interesting up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAM supports that with a similar area of 950s below zero. The GFS, as usual, has that mixed layer near the surface that is keeping 950s warm.
