Usually it's around 30F when we get these storms. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderblizzard Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Seem to have lucked out a little under that mini band for a while this morning... haven't attempted to measure but eyeballing between 7 and 8". Coming down pretty good and the wind is picking up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Can’t imagine we won’t crack 2 feet at this point unless that band pivots elsewhere or we get into a subby zone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolri_wx Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Was out for about 45 minutes shoveling out a spot for the dog. Lots of drifts, gonna conservatively say 8-10" out there now. Had drifts over 2 feet in some spots, always tough to measure my yard I'm very exposed to the wind in 3 directions. 8-10 (maybe 12) seems to be in line with peeps to my east and west in the 14-16 range... very good rates out there now, though not white out. Damn cold too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeathergeekMD Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 About 15-20 minutes ago had a complete white out for a minute while taking the dogs out …. Yipes and coool. Hand in front of face snow blindness. Exhilarating to say the least. Average about 11.5” with medium confidence. Madison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been on the north edge of pretty much every heavy band. @NorEastermass128 @MuddyWx Yea, I'm on the very edge of it in E beverly, similar to BOS.

HAZARDS...Heavy snow and near blizzard conditions. Bands of heavy snow at the rate of 2 to 3 inches per hour, accompanied by winds of up to 40 mph will reduce visibility to less than a quarter of a mile, and cause considerable blowing and drifting of snow. LOCATION AND MOVEMENT...At 1027 AM EST, radar indicated two bands of heavy snow, one extending from near Milford northward to Cheshire, and another from Madison and Westbrook northward to Middletown and Easter Hampton. These heavy snow bands were nearly stationary. LOCATIONS IMPACTED INCLUDE... New Haven, Meriden, Milford, Middletown, Guilford, Clinton, East Hampton, Old Saybrook and Durham. SAFETY INFO...Travel is strongly discouraged! If you must travel, slow down and allow extra time to reach your destination, and bring a winter survival kit. If you become stranded, stay with your vehicle. All in on the band pushing west another 30 miles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Windcredible! Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 All in on the band pushing west another 30 milesI sure hope so but I’m getting screwed by subsidence at the moment. And I feel like the bands to both the east and west of here are showing signs of slowly weakening. Winds have picked up quite a bit the past hour or so though. Starting to doubt we’ll make it to 12” here. Sitting at about 8”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC-CT Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 00z models have trended slightly farther west with qpf and slightly heavier as well. Given storm intensity and rapid amplification along with mid level low track over or just east of the eastern MA coast, this trend seems reasonable. Very strong jet dynamics which includes a dual upper level jet streak, combined with a moist/cold NE conveyor belt up to 80 kt off the Atlantic into SNE, will provide a firehose of abundant moisture, supporting a period of very heavy snowfall from approximately 9 am to 4 pm. In addition, as dry slot approaches eastern MA and RI this afternoon, model soundings indicate a potential moist absolute unstable layer (MAUL) in this area. This seems reasonable as approaching dry slot will help steepen mid level lapse rates. All of the attributes listed above support intense snowfall rates of 2-4" per hour at times, along with thundersnow. Also, model/BUFKIT time sections indicate the bulk of the lift is occurring in the snow growth region later this morning and afternoon. This will yield SLR of 15-20 to 1. Therefore, an upward trend in qpf, a shift slightly farther west and heavy snow bands with high SLR, have resulted in slightly higher snow totals from previous forecast, and slightly shifted west. Heaviest snow (near record snow possible) will occur across RI into the Worcester Hills, with 18-24" likely. In eastern MA, 24-30" is likely. These higher totals in RI and the Worcester Hills will hinge on mesoscale banding pivoting westward from eastern MA into RI & the Worcester Hills. These snow totals will be record or near record in many locations. In addition, strong NE winds will result in snow drifts up to 4 ft and possibly higher. Considerable blow and drifting along with near zero vsby at times, will result in very dangerous to impossible travel conditions late this morning and afternoon. In addition, with temps falling through the teens and WCI at or below zero, this will be a very dangerous situation for anyone becoming stranded on the roads. Hence, don`t venture out if at all possible because it could become a life-threatening situation. Snow totals will decrease westward across CT (especially CT River Valley westward) and west of the Worcester Hills in MA. Our snow totals in northwest MA may have to be adjusted downward, as some concern very cold/dry air advecting into that region (KAQW dew pt currently 2F) may overwhelm the boundary layer, resulting in less snowfall. Something we will be monitoring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to what happened out here December 2018 is all I can think of. I'm on the edge of their 8-12" and 18-24" (no 12-18" zone?) and I'm looking at 4.5" currently.
