wxsniss Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Awesome storm The Memento tattoos (add any thoughts, correct if wrong): trust nothing more than Euro and within-24hr-NAM. RGEM was terrible. I thought winds were somewhat underwhelming, peak seemed around 18z... perhaps reflecting the extreme tilt of the system with the surface low so far east. And that peak deepening was in morning hours. Nowhere close to Jan 2005 for Boston area which was virtually a white hurricane, dynamics unmatched since imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most maps I see from that are around 3 feet or so in the jackpot zones. I was only 10 at the time but I would bet there were locations close to 48" It was also dense stuff (Foxboro). Took us forever to shovel our driveway (like days and days) Similar deal with the Nat. Guard payloaders clearing our streets and making 2 story high piles. Our VW microbus was completely buried (over the roof) due to drifting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that January 2005 storm was the closest to 78 and it still wasn’t quite there but almost. I remember the town of Barnstable had to remove cars from the road leading to Cape Cod hospital for the ambulance route with a front end loader. They literally picked peoples cars up and smashed them into the snow banks totaling a lot of them. They stopped plowing because even the plows were getting stuck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaGrangewx Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 That band in Worcester is awesome that has to be some terrain up-sloping. They always cash in on these coastal storms. Also Mount Katahdin and Baxter State park is getting annihilated right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthCoastMA Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 nice blizzard on the Cape. not historic though. issues were: 1) losing 5-6" over night due to temps around 33°. needed better antecedent airmass 2) 700mb may have closed off too close to Cape. not sure if dual low situation had anything to do with that. Epic mainly bands situated in SE Mass / South Shore. they tickled my area in the afternoon but nowhere near the length of the jack zone 3) storm didn't capture and stall SE or ESE of Cape. OE enhancement usually lasts longer with N or NNE winds vs NNW/NW winds with storm departing to the Northeast. see 05 or 15 where Cape cleaned up with CCB and OE enhancement otherwise, fun storm..maybe Top 10 or 12? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Ended up with 19-20" here in Beverly, MA (at least that's the best measurement I could get). Was a pleasure spending time in New England for this storm! The peak around 1-3pm was incredible under that band 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 It's deep here. Saw the PNS reports. East Billerica close to me had 18.5 at 5:12 PM. That's right next to me. I agree with that observation. I haven't gone out since then to get an average butt it has been snowing light but persistently since then. Maybe squeezed about an inch or so since then. Who knows, way too drifty here.

shaper Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I’ve been hearing this NASA P3 Orion flying back and forth over South Portland. I would assume they are collecting data from the storm. There has been a NASA U2 in close proximity also. Just curious as to what they are doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolri_wx Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Not often that my neighborhood leads the state in snow, but after clearing the driveway, I believe it. Definitely in the 20-24” range here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George001 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 33 minutes ago, weathafella said: BOS has >35 inches for January One of the best winter months I’ve seen, up there with Jan 2011, Feb 2013, March 2018. Feb 2015 of course stands alone as the snowiest month ever recorded in Boston. Boston is only a few inches behind last years total for the entire winter, and we still have Feb and March.
