Scanner stuff is very on topic. You ever see an LSR? How do you think the majority of the reports are gathered?

Dont worry about it, some people have their heads in their asses and dont care about anything but a stupid computer screen.

Dec 16, 2007 was better than this. lol

Do you see a pattern for sw flows developing....I'm all 10SD ULLed out.

Honestl question, though

No..maybe later in January...but we don't SW flow event pattern necessarily so Ekster and get 14" while we get 2" and rain...we can sometimes get 10" like 12/16/07, but it is not what we want all the time.

But if it does go SWFE pattern, we will have a chance....but just not a great one.

Man, the snowfall distribution over E MA is PDII and Dec 2003 all over again.

3\4 of the last KUs this has happened.

This is defiently starting to remind of Dec 03 when the only significant precip on Sat morning was due to the CF and the radar to the west had this shreded up appearence. I was not a happy 12 year old that morning :lol:

I'm guessing I got like 15".... Too lazy to go out and measure

I'd be shocked. I just walked the dog and it wasn't that impressive. Sidewalk (not shoveled, no tracks) could not have had more than 5-6"). Accounting for a few inches of melting and some drifting patterns, felt like we were well short of even 10". Logan had 4.7" earlier, well before our band set up, so I know we aren't really at 5-6", but it doesn't seem to be piling up.

I'm buried here.... Jerry seemed to think 13-14 an hour ago for us

Earthlight has 26"....blizz conditions for 6 consecutive hours and ongoing.

S+

Yet another outrageous anomaly that we can whack it too at H5, yet just wasn't very impressive for the majority of the region.

KEWR just came in with 20" as well at 1am..and they have been east of the heaviest banding. Off topic, but the two links below are the radar image from 1:20(im in western union county(the county to the west of staten island..small and almost square shaped)..and a link to pics from a walk I went on almost two hours ago. Been ripping since then with 2-3"/hr rates. We've been under 35+dbz since 6pm. Unreal. I will never complain again.

Best of luck to you guys, too, the storm has a long way to go. :thumbsup:

It's been pouring graupel up here in Torrington, CT -- 1/4" crystals in some cases. Been sitting a few miles west of the dry slot the last few hours.

With lulls in the wind, it's like looking out at a pea-sized hail dump.

Kind of surprised the precip shield keeps holding or even slowly advancing in E PA and upstate NY-- expected a bit more echo weakening and pull back by now (possibly halting the Wwd march of the dry slot) per the earlier guidance. Guess we'll have to see the 06Zs.

I live in the area and must say that I don't think anyone has a clue how to measure this stuff. 12-18 is the best range right now...closer to the 18, though. I took a walk for a good 30 mins before in the Teaneck area and thought of some of the stories of the 60s blizzards you've posted about over the years!

I just went out...with the dog and that's about similar to MBY here where I have been fortunate enough to be in a good band most of the night from mid afternoon. I have no idea what's down but it appears to be about 15 inches or so....and not over. I don't officially measure but I do know that as of midnight, BOS had 9.9 so not having had the brief warming and it now being 90 minutes later, we're probably close. They're probably up to 13 now and hopefully can get into some bands to crank out 20....we'll see.

Where are you in Teaneck? I felt very 12/11/60 earlier today when I was walking around but it was colder then.

Will, at this point.....I'm all set with the heat break of coastals.....I want to know I'm getting a nice, normal 2-5", or 4-8", than get it.

BTW, I'm gonna get just enough snow so that my 3-8" call will bust! :lmao: :lmao:

Logan had 9.9 as of midnight.

Up over 8" here.

Hoping for 15" but we might be screwed for that. Banding should regenerate east, but we have some issues with dry air aloft. LL and ML inflow still very good. Model have some very good setups happening between now and 12z. Hopefully they come true.

Thats just sick.. If I hadnt lived through it, Id have had a hard time believing that was the same storm that we got. You guys are the big winners. Models had those purple areas over you, and it sure seemed to verify. Unfortunately for me, those aqua 1.25" qpf amounts modeled for my area wont even come close to verifying..... Those pics reminded me of how awesome these storms can be when youre in the sweet spot.. Enjoy!

Temps up and temsp aloft up. Both probably not bad things to get more precip generating NW. NAM looked to nail it, some type of non-snow rocketing NW will probably stop just south of scott.

Not to long ago you said you had about 8" but right now where I am in southern Wilmington, Mass (Jacquith Road) I have more than that and I'm not measuring the the crazy way just normally letting it snow and settle on itself. Boy, that's one hell of a demarcation zone.

I'm stuck at a friend's house just around the corner from the armory.

This storm has been amazing. Feb 06, PDII, and the 20" slop storm last February were great storms, but this system is in a class of its own with all the wind.
