I thought things were exciting with the NHDOT plow rolling over at exit 13 this morning but the 38” report is probably better. Measured 34 at our place (nothing scientific, no clearing) with about 20 of that between 7a and 1p. Just about done now and time to start the cleanup Nice, is that an outhouse? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tunafish Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 12.7" as of 2PM on 1.24" liquid. Slightly lower ratio's than @OceanStWx but I believe I'm a little closer to the ocean than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And his heart grew three sizes... This is going to be a great case study though. Obviously even a marginally stronger/coherent WCB was going to produce a lot of frontogenesis with that high anchored to the north. It probably also helped to lock the band in place rather than translating as quickly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 In retrospect when you really think about everything, what transpired is actually not a surprise. All the signals were there for super intense banding and when bufkit was spitting out 60-80+ units of omega into the DGZ that's pretty striking. Obviously there are other wildcard factors such as pivoting and I guess this system maybe didn't really occlude as quickly as models indicated. Also think H7 was a bit more compact and stronger than forecast. Hell...even strong signals for ratios up around 18:1 - 20:1 under the intense stuff.

We may average a lot during a year, but it seems we only get that way due to marginal shoulder season events like last week. Never get the sexual deform bands (too far east and south) or the CF enhancement (too far NW) With the exception of the folks to the N of us ya we seem to be in the screwzone at times. Happens to everyone... Just measured another 3.5 since this morning for 12.5 better than 0 but a little humbling seeing the totals well to the N and W of us. They were long overdue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomNH Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 That WCB death band at about 2 am was insane. I was half asleep so I didn't really look but it actually might've been more like 1/8 sm vis with perfect dendrites.

The track of H7 low always scared me but I felt that there was enough of a signal to swing the CCB through more of CT and pivot through but that didn't entirely happen. I actually should have stuck with my second update instead of doing 3rd update...I always do that too myself lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 This is bananas even as the radar is petering out. Work asked for an update on rates (they issued a SPS for heavy rates last hour based on my 3.9"/hr report). I knew it was snowing hard, but I picked up an additional 4.8" in the last hour. 8.7" since 1 pm. Storm total 21.7". Dumbfounded honestly. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
