Bostonseminole Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 is not that windy here.. when are the winds due to pick up inside in metro west? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfishsnowman Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 If the valley was forecasted by the computers to be a struggle with this event then why did so many mets forecast such high storm totals? I really did think we had a shot a big dump here but once it was snowing for several hrs and we had just an inch..i figured something went wrong. I also thought a storm like this would send a really big wall of snow up and down the coast...most uniform heavy snow on the front end but it seems like its been really banded. I know the valley gets the least snow in most of these events but i remember often doing much better than this. And that dry slot is enormous..just enormous. I saw someone sent a storm report for four inches in e longmeadow...i think that is on the high side lol I think I would have been happier to watch it snow like crazy in eastern mass and on the cape and just enjoyed heavy heavy heavy cirrus back here.. big thump to the west and sw..big thump some spots east and snow vacum in the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalcottWx Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Crazy blowing snow right now. Good luck trying to get an accurate measurement...I'm probably not going to make any attempts later on. Looks like the black hole has stabilized around 495. Yeah who knows... I measured all around in areas that seemed the most non affected by drifting.. Really varied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomNH Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 looks like that "whole" got pushed back, still pouring... will measure at 12 Yes, looks like precip just blossomed W of 128, hopefully that is the start of gangbusters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Still getting surprisingly heavy snow (actually probably moderate with wind making vis less) despite bad echoes penetrating into here. The dendritic growth remains very good. This has to be upslope helping out below the radar beam. Flip on channel 4, Christina Hager been reporting from Worcester not sure where, didn't even look like it was snowing but she was in the city proper. I'm sure they'll update again. Cold air going to rotate in aloft from the sw I think. All models show the storm will actually have a warm core at 8h in the next few hours, f'ing unreal.

Typhoon Tip Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Let it end - NEXT! This system has some weird stuff going on... We have a 971mb low some 75 miles S of LI and all the rads are drying up?! Very strange. This seems impossible but., let it be and move on to the next screwing.

This is so pathetic that a storm of this magnitude is reduced to a f'ing band of snow 40 miles wide. What a suckfest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno where she is, i didn't see it. I'm in north worcester. The airport is still reporting 3/4 mile vis. I can take pics, but I'm not making it up. Its still snowing pretty good here. Its not like it was maybe an hour ago, but its not even close to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mica Vim Toot Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Look at that band out in eastern NY. Anyone from Albany in here? Yup. Me. From PQI. Working here. Watching NE thrreads! Riding this out on my tug dock-side in Coeymans, NY about 10 nm s of Port of Albany. The joint is rockin rockin mega mega. Cant see the opposite shore (.25 nm) and haven't seen it since 1900. Decks are clear with wind scour. 2'+ drifts at corners of barge. No idea how much actual snow on ground. Wind straight down the river. Constant 30+ kts. The snow is falling so heavily that it is not melting on contact with the river. Open water (the river is fully choked with 4-6" pan ice down river from Poughkeepsie to Saugerties) is collecting what I can best describe as a "milky deposit" that then itself becomes covered in accumulating snow. This process is an ice factory. Running the river is going to be very tough after this lets up tomorrow. That's my report and I'm sticking by it.

powderfreak Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Dryslot is going bye bye weathefella, stop worrying man you're in the jack zone. Yeah BOS is going to get raked. I bet they are the jackpot with this one. Radar looks awesome right along the coast and they will be one of the few areas that doesn't go into a bit of a lull for a little.

NorEastermass128 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Honestly, I think inside Route 128 jackpots with this storm. This includes Arlington, Newton, down to Dedham...of course Woburn...then that area around Norwood... Many spots in this area are around 7-12" right now. Another 12 solid hours to go; half way done. 14-24" and there you go. Don't think we see 24"+, but who knows. That dry slot stopped at 128 and now building W. Inside 128 never ceased with the heavy snow fortunately. That snow hole west of ORH into WMA and CT...well, I don't know. I hope it fills; maybe another 3-6"? No clue.

weathafella Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Tip is funny.......the Boston areas best storm in 5+ years and calling it run of the mill. When BOS posts 19.2 or something close for the final you can argue pedestrian but look silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
