January 23rd Storm Threat: keeping positive vibes, ending chances of futility

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Temp down to 31, road now covered here. 1.5 or so on the deck railing 

[40/70 Benchmark]

Not bad for an atrocious set up.

[Damage In Tolland]

Couple more hours of light stuff but heaviest has moved east . HRRR did well here

what are you up to now? I'm still at work, but anxious to get home to measure and snowblow again.

2.5" more in the past hour. Just over 15". The "weather station" at our kiddo's school in New Gloucester was at 16".

May have a crack at Mahk loli but will probably fall 1" short.

Sell. Most should be expecting white rain.

I’m honestly so sick of this shit stain winter. We’ve successfully rifled through the fraud five over the last few months trying to manufacture some snow out of a shit sandwich.

I’d rather it be 60 degrees with no chance than 35 degree rain hoping to flip to some slop tomorrow afternoon.

Have you ever considered property ownership in the great state of Connecticut?

Futility continues here....Valley ftl
Difference between 600' on the hill and 200' at the house. 

Wow, sorry for your loss. Almost an inch now on the hood of my truck. (385’ at the house)

Doggo had a great time walking in the snow earlier.

Frick, looking at my home cam I figured we got ~6" since I cleared this morning, so was expecting ~12", but based on your locale  to mine, could be similar. Although we get suckered sometimes on the hill. Will find out soon enough.

Ripping hard again

Hasn't let up but i see the backedge approaching.

[Thunderblizzard]

Final was 0.4” on cold surfaces here right after that initial burst… nothing afterwards accumulated and has actually melted somewhat despite moderate rates for much of the time.

At least the white rain has tapered off now.

There were two short breaks from about 8-9am and 11:30 - 12:30 here. I figured light to moderate snow this afternoon and evening but it has been some of the heaviest of the day, other than that 2.25" from 10-11am. We have got about 11" from when I cleared around 6:30 this morning.

Nice you got over 3.5”. Might be able to nudge it up to 4” with that last band rotating down. 

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

North Conway looks like they’ve been pounding all day. I’ll take credit for turning their season around 

[tavwtby]

just Currier and Ives scene out there and grass cancel... happy for those who were in the goods, saving some from the basement and sad for others who still have yet to break anything... perhaps we'll get a surprise this year and get a region wide event that buries all, but I'll take my whitening and be happy heading back to Florida Fri so, may be the last I see for some time

This event really seems to have the hallmarks of a lateral quasi-stationary (think parallel) band transitioning to a pivot. The orientation of that departing equatorward jet streak was definitely more SW/NE than WNW/ESE, which tends to promote that parallel band riding along storm track. That's what I think it pumping our highest totals up over a foot, pushing 18", vs a more uniform 6-10" followed by the pivot.

What the hell is this white stuff?

I was thinking 3-4 “ after everything kind of locked in on that little weenie band down thru TOL county the last 24 hours. But this winter I also had doubts .

Hoping we can stay in 30’s after the thump Wednesday and keep at least some snow otg

Ripping big flakes in that new metrowest / northshore band

I was on the sidelines for this one, but my forecast went from less than 1" to probably 10ish by the time I measure when I get home.

Hard not to have doubts, but congrats. Good to see you get a solid snow. 

[George001]

Got about 2 inches so far, probably finish between 3 and 4 which is more than I expected. Nice little event here for SNE, and it looks like up north really got hammered with 12-18 inches. Hopefully Wednesday stays cold enough that we get a net gain in SNE.

This last band is pretty good . Viz way down . Not as heavy as earlier ones though . Smaller flakes . What do you have in EAHA?

I'm interpreting this as a good old fashion nice storm for my non-met brain.

I'm on a roll with my successful Yiddish storm thread, and now my Kevin-like call for big lollis.  We might be to 15 now, but if not, in the next 30 minutes.  Still accumulating here with blowing and low viz.

Every tree limb in the neighborhood is being structurally tested right now. Shot gun blasts left and right.

1.3” here. Nice wintry day here.

And I'm trying to tease out why we're going to miss low on the forecast, especially with totals in a relatively narrow band that are pushing some real deal snowstorm numbers. This time yesterday was just moving from a 6-8" event to 8-12" for portions of the area, and some are going to end up 15-18".
