Some of the more seasoned mets and vets were trying to tell me I was going to get smoked by the CF, and I said no...will be se of me in Wilmington. Exactly what happen. They beat me by 4". Lol couple tenths of precip 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. Yup. No complaints.

Yeah the CF was basically right there just to his east. In this case, I think being a little further south was better for being into higher QPF so that is why places like Wilmington, Lowell, Littleton, Bedford, etc ended up doing a little better. It was a matter of slightly more precip from the firehose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense why KASH got porked, as they missed best firehose and CF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your latitude makes it tough bc you need the mid level warmth for that, which often gets washed out s of you in SWFE and such. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I think the “ days and days” thing is just a fetish for a lot of folks. If anyone still believes you need a long duration event for big totals, they just need to look at just about every high end event we’ve had in the last 5-6 years as evidence that their position is wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Days and days refers to snow in the air not when the big numbers occur. We have had several events with 4 to 5 every day for a couple of days though.

PWMan Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Had another downpour of sleet about half an hour ago, and that transitioned into big parachutes. Now it looks like the sun is about to poke through. Definitely has that back-edge feel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 9 minutes ago, 40/70 Benchmark said: How did NYC, BWI and DC do? Saw 17+ for NYC but the others probably 2-4. The good stuff began in central Jersey. Very little in the air since 4, will soon go out to clear the driveway. Have not measured since 7 AM but would guess we're 7-8" by now. The tiny flakes shifted abruptly to quarters and half dollars a bitt after 1 PM though still just moderate rate. Lots prettier, though. After 30 minutes of that we went back to the little fellas. Winds gusting into the 20s blowing snow off the roof but not moving much along the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo1 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 40 minutes ago, 40/70 Benchmark said: 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. Ya, it certainly could have been 20.5 earlier this morning. The only time I actually measured was the 18. Great storm everything is still caked here beautiful outside.
