With Bedford at about 21", Acton at 21.8", Methuen at 18.3" and Lowell at 20.1" "NOT" the 24", and the way that Coastal Front behaved; those amounts seem pretty spot on. Ya all I know is I am glad I bought my Ariens! shoveling the back yard dog paths killed my back. This Morning doing the plow mounds at both entrances of my horse shoe driveway paid for the machine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Ariens was worth its weight in gold today....took some work, but it crushed the waterlogged 3 to 4 foot snow banks on each part of my horseshoe driveway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total depth is around 18" and it has some MEAT to it. We basically had the equivaent of sheet drizzle (except it was snizzle that accumulated a few tenths) all morning that just added in liquid equivalent into the pack without really changing it. All the paste froze just enough to cling to everything with temps hovering around 29-30F after the CF sunk back SE around 4am. Too bad the currier and ives stuff doesn't look like much now. It would be perfect to get a couple inches of fluff on top. But who knows, ULL to our south typically unpredictable so maybe some bands delivers for a large area. When would that be? I have a feeling we might over perform with that and maybe give a little consolation to the coast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stuff can start to weigh down and cause problems. Otherwise good storm around these parts.

ULL doesn't lift north of us until tomorrow night so any one of these litle vorticity spokes rotating around it underneath us could potentially fire off some snow showers....but nothing is guaranteed.

bch2014 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 It’s funny seeing a report for “East Acton.” I’ve heard South Acton before (near the commuter rail station), North Acton (NARA Park), and west Acton before... But East Acton? I guess it’s the piece near the Concord rotary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitinsvilleWX Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 BOX says 16.5”. I measured right around 18”. One town over in Grafton was at 17”, so close enough I guess. My Ariens made quick work out of it. And it was heavy stuff. Everyone in Worcester county with a pack fetish should be all set for awhile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The valley convergence has pushed far enough south down the valley to just now reach me. 1/8mi. visibility, it looks like. I'd guess this is 2"/hr rates.

40/70 Benchmark Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 1 hour ago, geo1 said: Just measured 18 inches in mby so given the compaction I believe close to 20 was attainable. I live in North Wilmington close to 93. Okay, if you have a depth of 18" right now, then you had 20.5". That makes sense from my Wilmington measurements, as the depth when I left was 17" at 1am. I have a current depth of 14" in Methuen, and had a 16.5" snowfall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Let's please put to bed this crap that you need a 36 hr event to get big totals. This event is a perfect illustration...this SLOW mover has consisted of 10-12 of all hell breaking loose, and another 12 hrs of flurries. This is not a complaint whatsoever...loved the event, but big totals are achieved via several hours of intense dynamics, not 48 hours of impact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though arguably to achieve true top dog status, you want at least an 18 hour event...that is what usually puts it over the top from like a 15-20 incher into a 2+ footer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
