bristolri_wx Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Windy down here. Tough to take an actual measurement with drifting but I’m going to estimate 7-8”. Mostly light snow now with some sleet or icy snow mixing at times - can hear it hitting the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TalcottWx Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Took a nap earlier for this all nighter. Almost fell asleep 10 mins ago. But then a Christmas wreath fell off my wall and nearly gave me a heart attack. An omen from the snow gods to stay away. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BGM band is cutting through SVT and its close to a whiteout, pure powder. 15F and also windy, but jesus it's ripping.

bristolri_wx Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Boston/Norton MA 425 AM EST Thu Dec 17 2020 .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... Winter storm continues to affect Southern New England early this morning. Regional radar shows west to east oriented bands of heavy snow, which have reportedly produced snowfall rates up to 2 inches per hour at times, now beginning to lift north of the Mass Pike. Water vapor imagery shows a dryslot on the southern end of the cyclone`s 700 mb circulation (this feature over east-central PA), and this dry slot is racing northeast from Long Island into a part of southern CT/RI. In a nowcasting sense, this dryslot has led to brief improvement in visibility (1/2 to 1 SM) across Hartford to Willimantic CT to central/southern RI eastward into southeast MA, with sleet at times mixing in. Speaking to temperatures, a coastal front has set up from roughly Beverly to Norwood to North Smithfield with ENE winds. Temps have been very slowly but steadily warming east of this front; with most areas in Norfolk, Plymouth and Bristol Counties hovering around 33-34F; upper 20s to around 30F into the Boston area and up into the North Shore. More northerly winds in the interior on the west side of the front has led to temperatures commonly in the upper teens to low 20s! We continue to have multiple weather-related concerns specific to this winter storm. Accumulating snowfall is one of them. Rapidly falling temperatures and a related flash freeze of snow/slush is looking likely later this morning across South Shore into southeastern MA. This may extend as far north as the Boston metro area, potentially affecting I-95/Route 128 and the Southeast Expressway. Strong northeast winds and minor coastal flooding are other concerns. Our surface low, a sub-1000 mb low just off the NJ coast, will continue to pull NE into the waters near the Islands by late- AM/early-PM, then move into the southern Gulf of Maine later in the day today. The 700 mb cyclone will continue to progress eastward into northern CT/western MA on into interior northern New England. On the snow accumulation forecast: I`ve made only small adjustments. The most significant of these changes was a reduction in snow totals from Windham County CT ENE across much of RI and into eastern and southeast MA by about 1-2". Much of these same areas should still see values nearing 1 foot, but the dryslot moving in may keep these areas from achieving foot-plus levels. On the other side, I`ve boosted snow totals across northwest and northern MA as deformation- zone banding on the northern end of the 700 mb low now across eastern PA looks to advance into these areas. Snow totals here were increased by a couple inches, mainly north and west of a Springfield to Worcester to Bedford line. Some of these areas from the east slopes of the Berkshires into the Route 2 corridor may see accumulations nearing 20". The forecast otherwise remains essentially unchanged. For a large part of Southern New England, snow intensity for today should be more of a steady light to moderate intensity. The exceptions are for the aforementioned northwest/northern MA area, with a secondary local maximum hinted at by the 00z HREF, NAM and GFS across the North Shore, Merrimack Valley into part of Metro Boston mid-morning into the early afternoon. For this secondary area, I am thinking that snow intensity may struggle to get to heavy levels especially by late morning as moisture in the snow growth region becomes unsaturated per NAM/RAP fcst soundings. Snow should taper off in interior MA, CT and RI by around mid-day, and by mid afternoon towards eastern MA. Periods of ocean effect snow showers may continue to affect Cape Cod and parts of coastal Plymouth County until evening, but the heaviest of the snows will have ended. On the flash freeze potential: as winds flip to N and NW by mid to late this morning, upper teens to mid 20s temperatures now in the interior will surge southeast. This leads to the potential for a rapid freeze-up of slush and snow, with highest confidence of this occurring across Bristol, Plymouth and Norfolk Counties where current temperatures are above freezing. Temps are very close to freezing in Suffolk County/Boston area that there is the potential for such even into Boston, but the better potential looks to be just south. On strong/gusty winds: High wind watch continues for the Islands until 10 AM. It is still quite gusty out on the islands, but damaging winds haven`t materialized. There may still be another window of opportunity for gusts to increase. Gusts to 30-45 mph will also continue across coastal MA, with gusts in the interior up to 30 mph. This will lead to blowing and drifting of snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Good morning! Slept just under 4 hours and from the 2nd floor snow looks deep-will measure shortly. Snowing pretty good but I imagine 2-3 hours ago it must have been bombing to accumulate this quickly. Let's see how much we can book-methinks almost everyone who stays all snow gets 12+.
