I live on the a side street and the road is just wet. The car only has a partial coating. The radar is more "impressive" than the actual snowfall. Radar looks like shit to me, which is why I asked. I can't wait to move back south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s one thing about this event that has been puzzling. It’s only 2/9 and the temperatures have been in the 20s but it took a bit to accumulate in pavement. No problem now but early on it seemed to be a struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warwick WX Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 A screwhole here most of the day, but accommodating my wife needing to drive to her doctor's appointment at least. Brushed a trace off the car about 15 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can not name one major event in the 2.5 yrs that I have lived here, in which the latitude from Wilmington to Methuen benefited me. Not one...zero....its hurt in several. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes light snow impossible to stick during the day with any kind of sun angle and destroys cars in mere weeks . 2 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSnowman Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Just Stunningly beautiful day. Caught a Swan on a lake off Rte. 1 too! Roads are bad, and it’s gorgous. Perfect dendrites, fairly consistent 0.5”+ per hour type stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrisrotary12 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 As expected, nearly a non-event here (I was expecting to get 2"). Flakes in air all day with very little to show for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latitude helps more with avoiding ML warmth in some of those marginal scenarios. MV is a relatively shitty spot for biggies, I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Methuen especially towards Dracut and Pelham is better for snow and pack retention. I have lived in the area my entire life. I have noticed that the route 213 exit off of 93 is often a transition zone. There have been many times when I have have seen it snowing/mix at that merge only to have the snow or mix becomes more of a rain/mix the further I drove down 213 east. Salem even in the area of the mall is better than the east side of Methuen. I was in Londonderry, Sandown and Pelham on Saturday to look at homes and it was clear that they had received less snow from the Feb 1 storm than Methuen but those areas are better for the marginal events and pack retention. In our area there are going to be tradeoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have recorded some significant snow totals in some winters. Things can be worse. Our area was a jackpot area for the 2/1 storm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
