It was a nice snow snowstorm, its just frustrating to have a truly epic outcome so close by...literally. That’s been my theme for over a decade now. I guess I should count Feb13, even though I wasn’t in town. So this area specifically has missed all timers to the east, south, west, and north by like 25miles 9yrs running now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Nobody finds it a little odd that NWS BOX doesn’t have a single snow total report from Western Massachusetts across three counties? I think they are embarrassed by their forecast and won’t put the totals up lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCHurricane Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Looks like no new reports came in to update Cape Cod totals which is a bit disappointing. Guess the NWS can only state what’s reported, but the 12” and 13” totals were measured with 3-5 hours of our best snow growth still to come. Likely ended up with 16-20” down here.

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Picked up another half inch late last evening as that band clipped me rotating through. 31.5” total… snow is starting to get packed in out there too.

dryslot Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 You look in the PNS for your area to see what the others are around you, Then see your not at the top and magically you find a few more inches. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our location between the ORH hills/Monads and coastal front is going to sit in the subby zone a lot. I know this is likely one of those "easier said than done" things, but if you're going to invest this much emotionally only to be consistently let down, then might want to change the situation. I used to be as passionate as him but sometimes things are out of our control. I feel for him, I am in one of the worst places for big snows. And I don't really understand how he only got a foot I also am confused about BID only getting 14 inches and Narragansett and Kingston areas only getting 14 to 16 inches. I saw the banding and heavy echoes...seems they should've been closer to 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if you do that, then a bunch of new obs came in and it becomes clear that the first obs you guestimated on were crap measurements in a drift or measuring roof snow?

When I worked in Agawam in the early 90's they actually got some good storms and a deep pack. I remember inspecting a house in 16 acres and the snow was above my waist. But typically they're too far west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are welcome. temp has actually gone up from 1F to 4F tonight The cold was indeed legit. Here in the Champlain Valley, we were a tad below (horizontal advection) ground blizzard criteria with 6 hours of steady north winds of 16-21mph with gusts between 24-31mph for the duration. There was only two hourly obs of snowfall for the entire storm (some lake-enhanced diamond dust) and the high was 1°F with a low of -8°F. I’m about 18mi south of Burlington. There were some vertical advection components to the storm here with numerous 100m snow devils, likely terrain and lake-enhanced induced since I am just southeast of the lake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
