Henry's Weather Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 6 minutes ago, The 4 Seasons said: i couldnt agree more i was just out there for about an hour and a half and i think i have frost bite. Measuring is near impossible. The best reasonable estimate i have is 7" from measuring 6 to 8" in many spots that i considered to have "relatively low" drifting... I'm fine with whole numbers in events like this, not super accurate but its really impossible. These were some of the strongest winds i've seen in a nor'easter here in quite a long time. Sustained at 15-25 and gusts to 30-40 the whole day. I can't even imagine what it looked like on the outer cape and the islands. ACK was sustained in the 40s most of the day with gusts to 70 with SN/+SN. That's a real blizzard. Man, I was out in Boston with a buddy from like 9 to 4 with a couple stops in between, I'm still thawing out. My friend took a pic of me with Cantore though, and also it was 2 feet of hellacious snowfall, so it was worth it. But God, am I exhausted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many factors put that in its own league, including the fact it was the 1970s and people were caught off guard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanInWayland Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 9 minutes ago, tavwtby said: are you using a venier caliper for measuring?? It's an average, you dolts. He explained that in his original post. This is almost as bad as the idiots who opine about how we can't know that the yearly average temperature for some location was 0.3F higher, cuz our thermometers only read in increments of 1F. Sorry to pick you out, you were just one of several making this point. OK, now I feel better. If you want to make fun of him for significant digits, I'm with you. 1 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 8 minutes ago, CoastalWx said: I was unsure of the 24”+ totals yesterday. Mid level low look was good, but wasn’t sure if we’d get that real stationary band like we saw. I thought maybe the forcing would be more transient and not as intense. Just goes to show you look out when they look good. Mid levels looked so good for SE MA. I think the biggest issue the convection played was not throwing enough moisture west for the western folks. But the forcing on that main band just overwhelmed any issues there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
