I didn’t think we had a shot at 18 but I’d this band can stay parked for an hour then we have a chance. This is legit 2-3” per hour stuff in the past 15 min. I’ll be outside again in a bit. Agree--just walked the dog and there was 3/4 of an inch on the driveway when I got back Keep it going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

203whiteout Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Very tight gradient here in Fairfield county. 6-8” storm for the majority of the county but eastern Fairfield county along the beach got hit hard (Fairfield, Bridgeport). The gradient was very obvious while out driving. Just saw a report of 16” in Fairfield and 10.4 was the last I saw at BDR airport at 1pm and I figured they got an inch or two on top of that.. anyways we were right on that edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radarman Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Totally done here but I think snow rates did increase near the end, possibly with the CAA aided lift as was speculated. Tough to measure but probably 5.5" which isn't terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tip might be in the best of it What is that weird looking return going down toward the canal? Meanwhile, ORH verified a blizzard. As of 530 PM on Saturday, January 29, some snow was still occurring across the region, so we will issue a more complete report, listing durations of blizzard conditions, early next week. However, in the meantime, we can confirm that the following locations did meet blizzard criteria today... In Rhode Island...

NotSureWeather Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Blizzard conditions were reached at several locations across Rhode Island and eastern Massachusetts on Saturday, January 29, 2022. Light snow began late at night on Friday, January 28. Snowfall totals of 1 to 2 feet were common across the region. Wind gusts reached hurricane force on Cape Ann, Cape Cod, and Nantucket during the storm. The definition of a blizzard is that falling and/or blowing snow reduces visibility to below 1/4 mile along with winds that frequently gust to 35 mph or more. These blizzard conditions must be the predominant reported condition for at least 3 consecutive hours. When reviewing whether a particular observation location had blizzard conditions, we considered visibilities equal to 1/4 mile because that is quite low for an automated sensor to be able to detect in snow or blowing snow. As of 530 PM on Saturday, January 29, some snow was still occurring across the region, so we will issue a more complete report, listing durations of blizzard conditions, early next week. However, in the meantime, we can confirm that the following locations did meet blizzard criteria today... In Rhode Island... Providence (KPVD) Westerly (KWST) Newport (KUUU) Block Island (KBID) In Massachusetts... Boston (KBOS) Worcester (KORH) Beverly (KBVY) Hyannis (KHYA) Marshfield (KGHG) Martha`s Vineyard (KMVY) Stations at Chatham (KCQX), Falmouth (KFMH), Provincetown (KPVC), and Smithfield (KSFZ) were unable to be determined because they stopped reporting wind, visibility, or all data. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
