tamarack Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 11 minutes ago, CCHurricane said: Usually need to look at 2-day totals for Boston given how the measurements can occur across two days. 24.5” would be needed to get Boston into top 5 territory. 27.9” the all time record. My data is slightly different on #1 total - no guarantees. Here's my top 6 for Boston, all the 2'+: 27.6" 2/17-18/2003 27.1" 2/6-7/1978 26.3" 2/24-27/1969 25.4" 3/31-4/1/1997 24.9" 2/8-9/2013 24.6" 1/26-28/2015 Moderate snow and 4°, maybe 1.2" new with accum starting about 9:30. Teeny-tiny flakes in the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolri_wx Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Just had to get myself to the car and had to shovel through some 3 foot drifts. This stuff is extra fluffy here. Must be high ratio stuff. Still coming down heavy. I don't think I've ever seen a band sit over RI like that... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Just got back in from snow blowing. Had near 12” on most measurements but it varied a bit with the wind. Was hoping to crack 18” but that may be tough unless we can get the good snow growth back in here. It’s gone to baking powder the last 45 minutes or so. My guess is we add another 3-4” and call it a storm. The wind has been really impressive though. This is the windiest snowstorm I’ve had since maybe Feb 2013. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess I can't wear it anymore due to its new status as a political statement lol. Anyway that coat always gets the job done, especially in the slop we usually get here in winter storms.

Roger Smith Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 This is the list of top ten 2-day BOS totals from a link already posted (without this list fully visible) ... my analysis below ========= divider Feb. 18, 2003: 27.6 inches Feb. 7, 1978: 27.1 inches April 1, 1997: 25.4 inches Feb. 9, 2013: 24.9 inches Jan. 27, 2015: 24.4 inches Feb. 17, 2003: 23.6 inches Jan. 23, 2005: 22.5 inches Jan. 28, 2015: 22.3 inches Feb. 9, 2015: 22.2 inches Jan. 21, 1978: 21.4 inches Dates listed are the end date from a two-day period of snow accumulation. ============================= (my analysis below ========= divider) The article states that the period of record is 1891 to present. So all of these storms occurred from 1978 to end of data, not one from 1891 to 1977 shows up. I saw in another post a mention of a four day total from Feb 1969. The blizzard of March 12-13 1888 may have made this list, although I seem to recall reading that the very high totals in western New England (30-50") tapered down to two feet or less in some eastern regions. Getting back to the list, not only are they all 1978 or later, but seven are in the 21st century. However, it's really a top eight list not a top ten. Here's why. The search must have been for two-day totals. That brought in two storms with two entries (Jan 26-28 2015 and Feb 16-18 2003). Their 3-day totals must have been slightly higher than the higher of their two appearances in the list. A corrected list should delete the lower of their two entries in each case, making the 10th place storm in the list 8th all-time. After making that adjustment, two winters (1978 and 2015) had two storms each, separated by 17 and 13 days. This one will probably end up number one if they measure correctly. I think it goes to 29-32" from the current 16". It won't end before midnight so it will show up in the list as Jan 30, 2022 by the protocol used. However the 29th one-day total might also end up near top three or even number one also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
