Shows how quickly things can change. I was sure that the 128 belt was gonna get rocked. They were changing over around 2pm and it looked excellent for hours...but they just never mustered the intensity after the flip. The low level temps were a problem but I’m still surprised. I guess maybe the lift wasn’t quite lining up perfectly in DGZ which really helps in marginal setups. You need everything to go right...esp at lower elevations and perhaps that was the one ingredient missing in an otherwise perfect opportunity to overcome the marginal near-sfc layer. Given the reports I guess Northborough didn't do so well after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping we still clear 10 inches up that way to start getting the sleds out to pack and cut blowdowns Great pic. 6" or more of paste looks real nice.

I have no clue how my original spots doing but I’m doing fine here. Kind of wish I made the little extra trip to Maine, but no complaints. I wasn’t expected anything crazy I just didn’t get like any snow last year so I’ve been feening Trip was easy, except for the fishtail, accident, crashing into the guard rail dude that was just in front of me. Knew that was going to happening because mofo was hauling ass...way too fast. Up to 6" here now 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just took a look at snow fall and many of these reports were not LSR'd (I don't think). Appreciate the update... lots to chase at these WFO's. Some easier to note what is timely, than at others. Do not like that statement: Latest. Always should have date-time. Permits a person to immediately know if something is timely for their use. Done w my complaint. Thanks for keeping me up to speed.

I remember driving up there in Mar 2019 for a work event and seeing the huge piles of snow and being jealous. In Feb that year I had to drive to an event at the Boston Museum of Science in a sleet/ice event by me to snow in MA and praying I wouldn't die on the Mass Pike. Fun times.

Ahh yes those piles were prob from the 3/4/19 storm. That was the best storm that winter. Dumped a widespread 8-16” for the eastern 2/3rds of SNE.

Looks like a break coming in a few hours unless it fills in. Is this thing supposed to be pivoting? I doubt the dry slot makes it to you. You should stay under banding until about 2-3am then it’s upslope after that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I don’t think anyone would have forecasted 2” there based on the data we saw. Same reason I didn’t buy the 3-4” amounts it was spitting out for ORH. I figured at least 4-5” minimum for you (like what many got further south of you in the 495 belt). One of those weird events...I’m wondering if the longitude there hurt with the lift placement not being as much in the DGZ. Would be interesting to go back and look when this is over.

Dumped a widespread 8-16” for the eastern 2/3rds of SNE. Yep. That dropped 4-6" here but I remember how it bombed in time for you guys and had slightly colder air like this one was supposed... The Feb trip I took though was a nightmare. I remember seeing a truck spinning out on the Mass Pike in my direction and just missing it. Getting out of NYC in a sleetstorm wasn't easy either. That sucked. When I got to Boston and kissed the ground it was raining as the storm was ending but there was 4-5" on the ground I'd guess. I moaned about how lousy 18-19 was but considering last winter it wasn't too bad snow-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
