Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Not sure where the busts were? Everyone is approaching double digits with hrs more to go..well except SE Mass of course Heavy snow here now, 1" in a very short time 830a Epic banding and real good echoes too on the radar. If I can get under some of those 0-10dbz whiteout snows to my west I should be in great shape later on. They really seem to be able to produce under the radar. The 6-12/8-16 type forecasts worked out fairly well on average. One of the jackpots in SE NE, they got 17-18" but no reports yet of 20 around easton/foxboro etc. Was close but not quite. Dry slots will bust the higher widespread forecasts every single time NE of them, as Scott said. Whiteout here now, won't last long but it's piling up wicked.

HoarfrostHubb Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Can't see the house that is a bit diagonal from here... 200 yards away. Nice stuff - can barely see the house across the street 100 yards away Pretty close to whiteout now. Scituate looks nasty (fire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Storm is passing over the Elbow of the Cape. Now think about this, a storm passes that close in and BOS never changes and ends up with 18+. I don't remember if I've ever seen that before.

Not sure the last time I saw anything like this oddball wrt bands You get close to 20", I get close to 8 or 9" if I'm lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattb65 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 My forecast got a boost....16.5 at BOS as of 90 minutes ago and still snowing....probably will finish with 18-20 there. How much in brookline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Shhh..don't tell others..thy think it's just light snow here That band could easily give you another 6-10" if it stalled right over your area. Doesn't appear to be moving very fast either. Heavy heavy snow on Cape Cod right now, looks like some OES It's unbelievable out here right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 No reports from MPM, we schooled him on his own backyard, actually they all must be without power but man are they getting crushed. Congrats Jerry! That band has sagged into the Tolland area , hopefully I can get some more before it drys up. It's really snowing hard under this band. Should have no problem getting 10- 12 inches. Staffordville had 7.5 at 5:00Am just as I did.. We've both probably had another 1.5-2.0 since then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 6.3". I'd have guessed 15+ given track and intensity. The winds are the best for any storm I've had here -- gusts over 40 all night long. I just wish the snows would be on par with that.

Congrats Jerry! That band has sagged into the Tolland area , hopefully I can get some more before it drys up. I never share the jackpot with anyone but once in awhile...one gets lucky. HECS looking here with deep and drifted snow and still steady lt snow with another band trying to organize and set up. It's not out of the question for BOS to end up with 20 but probably just short.

This is like a 3/2/09 redux for me...was expecting over a foot, woke up to 9'' because of a dry slot from hell (for different reasons). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Snowing pretty well, winds are ridiculous. Can't see house across the street. Everything is covered in white, I have two dark colored cars, and a boat with a blue tarp on it and can't see any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerz_nailz Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I'm not sure how you always come in so much less than every surrounding town..seems like you're always 3-4 inches lower than every surrounding town. Not always ....we're on top of a hill so generally do well with elevation type snow. The last couple storms like this though, our totals have been less than tolland.

mahk_webstah Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Just got in from a walk n shovel. Wow what great conditions. heavy heavy with winds. Took about 20 measurements low of 8 high of 11. most frequent was 9. several 9.5 and 10s right before I came in. Been in for 20 minutes so I will go with 10 inches now and snowing hard. 12 was my over under on this storm. So where do you guys think the best banding and deformation sets up the rest of the morning? I am under the one that is coming down from northern me but it seems to be degrading a bit on the western side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Springfield area NOT EVEN CLOSE TO DOUBLE DIGITS regardless of what anyone posts..perhaps closing in on half a foot and that is very generous!!!!! A lot of areas are not even close but that won't stop the reports because it's tough to measure and people expected 1-2'. It's nothing deliberate but when we compare these storms to those in the 50's and 60's when mostly official stations/airports were used....Boston's total stands out as does KTAN because they're not usually on the high side and this was pretty incredible for them. It was plenty cold aloft and with a bombing low to the southeast..Ageostrophic flow FTW. Looking at 8h, the warm donut at the center of the storm - probably not the best indicator for strong snow generating dynamics as it turns out. 3 hours of this snow right here now would produce 10" to bad it will end soon unless it is OES under the higher echoes, not abating at all temp down to 30.6 so everything flash froze...nightmare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 My wife just said I have a 6' drift in my driveway. Shrubs crushed. This is one to be in Boston for. In retrospect, one has to get close to the mix line but not there to score really well...often the best action is right there and in this case for us it was.
