Pines are sagging with ice accretion This maybe the first time I have beaten you in an event since moving here over 3 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That coastal enhancement really pounded last night. Still coming down right now too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right in line with the ratios expected. No upslope fluff. Healthy QPF dump. I think the more ragged nature of the system made for some weird distribution of amounts. I measured both what fell in my gauge and took a core sample and got 0.36" and 0.38". The ASOS measured 0.58" and @tunafish had 0.73" on the other side of the Jetport. That's like 7 or 8 miles as the crow flies. Then heading north QPE is back up to around 0.5" by the time you reach GYX. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnitedWx Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 More wintry in Westfield this morning then pretty much anytime yesterday. 33° and flurries in the air. Looks nice out the shop window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gradient on CoCoRaHS looks to be SW to NE, higher totals to the SW of Casco Bay dropping off towards Brunswick. What did you have around midnight, because that's when it looked like it was really going to town on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tunafish Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 @OceanStWx Speaking of midnight, why are the observation times 700/1300/1900 then midnight, not 0100? I mean I appreciate the extra hour of sleep but seems odd to have a 5 hour window (and subsequently 7 hour). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahk_webstah Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 What a gorgeous morning. A very thick dense snow, sticking to everything and should be a good base to start the snow pack. One stick had about 5 inches the other six in the other somewhere around 6 1/2. I’m going to call at 5.75 inches, a little less than Brian has as is usually the case. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First observation at 7PM was 2.0" on 0.17" liquid. I'm only 3 miles from the jetport as the crow flies. I didn't measure when I got home at 8, but I only had 2.7" just before midnight so you already had the 2 inch lead on me. Seems like it was that coastal front enhancement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I feel pretty fortunate to be here, and to have settled here before it became the place to be. Within 5 minutes of my house I can see Mt. Washington (on a clear day), and take a dip in the Atlantic. Not many places and make that claim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
