Tolland Death Band Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 At least this storm had the courtesy to wait until daylight to bring her best. It is RIPPING outside right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitemountainhiker Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Up here in Lebanon I'm a little discouraged with the LACK of snowfall amts on the NWS pages. I estimate 8-12 inches of snow in Leb, due to the drifting nature of it. Still snowing so far, but it appears that the heavier bands are beginning to shift east. Still a nice snow though. I think I'm satisfied. Just a day or two ago, they were not expecting JACK up here. So 10 inches is enough for me. SKi country doing very well so far. Okemo 17 inches Mt Snow 16 inches Bretton Woods 18-26 inches Cannon Mt 16-18 inches WIldcat 9 inches And its still snowing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 55..but it's always low due to the trees..I'm guessing there were gusts near 60. What was ORH top gust? 48kts. Dam impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbosch Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 No, but just got back from plowing (again), and I will guess 15ish, maybe more. I have 3-4 foot drifts all over the yard and my back deck. I just went out and took several measurements. It is almost fruitless to get a total now, but considering I had about 8-9 last night, I think I added 6 or so. I would go with 14-15 easily, perhaps a bit more. I have the same drifts as you.

CoastalWx Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 You think those decent bands over Western Mass are going to collapse to the coast? I think they should head east a little, but I could see them weakening. They seem pretty consistent, which a good moisture feed wrapping around the low...but I wouldn't be shocked if they fade a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 A disappointment here so far. Haven't ventured out for a measurement but it is less than I was anticipating. Areas just to the north are under a steady heavy band that is going nowhere while I'm in a dryslot. Lots of wind, however. SFM was gusting in the 40s all night, with a peak of 49.

Kbosch Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 The cold in western CT is helping our ratios as well. Nice, too bad the wind wasn't destroying the flakes as it is. We'll probably end at 16-17 at this rate. I shoveled the sidewalk and that was exhausting. Imagine if we didn't have the wind and had 15 or 20 to 1 ratios.

I'm seeing a lot of complaints in CT about this storm on Twitter and the like. Must be from eastern areas. It is hard for my area to get these totals and I'm very impressed.

jack Suslak Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 We got it pretty good here along the north shore. Had trouble getting side door open and we had 2ft drifts in my driveway. So id say about 15 inches maybe more hard to tell. Still snowing here too, so Matt's numbers should verify here. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeVries Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Conditions have deteriorated over the last half hour. Trying to drag some of this heavier stuff back in. Vis dropping under a mile.

hammerz_nailz Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Around 7.5- 8 inches..nice banding heading west this way from Mass..should get us up near 11-12 inches..Not bad. No complaints from me I'm close to you in Coventry but only have 8" in drifts. Averaging 3.5 - 5" here at 700ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Really ripping out there right now. Hopefully we can squeeze in another hour or two of good snows. Measuring will be impossible. We did way better than a lot of the Valley south of here but still won't break the 12" snowstorm drought. Gotta' take the dog out so I'll get a better idea of what's out there.
