I remember it snowed most of the day in the city, but nothing was sticking the day that it started. Took the train home and got on 128 and there was a little snow in Westwood. Got off on route 28 in Randolph and everything was snow covered including the roads and we already had 3 or 4 inches.

Accumulations were noticeable once past 128 in Wellesley, and by the time I got back to ORH, there was about 4-5". But nobody thought the 20"+ amounts were happening even that evening. I was still on the 9-14" bandwagon. The firehose just went insane after midnight it was like consistent 1-2" per hour for the next 8-10 hours.

Once you get on the west and southwest side of the city near 200' and higher, it gets sneaky good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, once you head south on 28 from 128, you gain elevation pretty quickly. We are at about 225' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the CT shoreline and have a cabin in NW NJ. Both areas have had an insane amount of precipitation the last year. I expect this spring for the same area to jackpot as it has the last year.

ORH_wxman Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 This is the week after the 2013 firehose storm...there were a couple torchy 50F days afterward which receded the snowpack, but it's interesting because you can see that secondary jackpot area still SW of Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have gotten a snow blower then, but I thought how often are we going to see two 2' storms in a month. I can handle this! Finally bought an electric one after 2015. Should have learned my lesson earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Looks like my snow depth is going to go to zero today finally...well maybe a "trace" since as long as you have patches in the yard, that's a trace. There has been continuous snow pack since January 26th, so a pretty good run. We had continuous from Dec 9th through January 12th in 2017-2018 so this beats that stretch. Have to go back to 2015 I think to beat this 43 day stretch. The previous 5 years have not been good pack winters. We had longer stretches than this in 2008-2009, 2010-2011, 2012-2013, 2013-2014, and 2014-2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Still have a pack albeit not much of one, SW facings are taking a beating though, Will have to see how it stands after these next few days with temps in the 40-50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah maybe...it depends where in the yard though....where I measure is down to like 2-3" but there are shaded spots that still have over half a foot. I think that 2-3" will go today. There are houses in the neighborhood that have 100% full pack in their shaded yard and it looks at least 6" deep, lol. Typical uneven March melt-out.
