LSC97wxnut Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Rough estimate from just north and west of the band in Newtonville. Checked a number of spots in the park next to us and found about 10.5". It was around 4" at 10:30. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of open areas only have around 8 to 12 inches which I measured using a yard stick. This is less than I eyeballed an hour ago. There were a couple parking spots that had a flat 10 inches when I measured those 3 hours ago but they’ve since been disturbed. you should take an average of a few different measurements in the open areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to just look to see if it gusted to 35 each hour but not sure if there is a more stringent standard. If it’s gusts at least 35 mph each hour, Worcester would verify between 7:54 am - 3:54 pm.

metagraphica Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Was out earlier and measured an average of a little over 13". Still snowing nicely but never managed to get in the heaviest bands today and had a few short periods of sand. If this keeps up might make 15" or so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know that can't be right because of all the drifts every which way.... because a lot of these open areas have remained about the same depth over a several hour period in which it was snowing moderately to heavily... It is just the drifts that have grown a bunch. I know that at this location if I only take an average of open areas is just going to give a major underrepresentation of what fell. I know that comes off a bit weenie... But it really is those drifts that have done the growin with the wind and all. I think that the surrounding topography spanning a couple hundred yard radius caused some of the snow to be lifted from my premises by the wind this time, based on surrounding reports and how hard I have seen it coming down all day. But when it actually stops snowing I will do one more measurement and being my final measurement I will measure a bunch more spots and try and check out areas that surround the property.

J Paul Gordon Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Coming down harder now, flake seem a bit larger. Visibility is about 1/4 mile. Its been low all day but the flakes have been microscopic. Still a good 10 - 12 by the end, maybe a bit more. My front steps and walk were obliterated ( 3 ft + drifts) while the other side of the house is just a couple of inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow was always heavier than radar appeared and I am convinced it’s the wind . Like when Hanrahan posted what he thought was subby hole over this area.. the heavier echoes to the NE were falling here and that subsidence was actually to the west / SW over Ellington: Rockville/ Vernon. Snowing quite hard currently . Down to 9.1 degrees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger flakes, low visibility, but less wind. The flakes are finally falling more vertical than horizontal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
