ORH_wxman Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 9.5" here and snowing rather lightly for the past hour or so. Seems those bands rotating in from the east are shredding once they get just west of ORH. Hoping to make it to 12". That happens sometime sin strong nor easters due to downslope....but usually the affect isn't that insane. But this storm was a good setup for a W ORH hills screw job. Its not over yet though. When winds go NW if there is still synoptic precip around, you might pick up another 3" in a band while I pick up a half inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlacroix4 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Right now is the best band I have seen, just white outside, can barely see the trees. 2-3 inches per hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpickett79 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 seems right to me i have 17" you have 18" and it seems the heaviest snow band was stuck right in between us i'm really not sure why we wold be skeptical of 22 measurements in an area where 4 inch snow occured for over 4 hours? lenox has 19 inches now....and it took them longer to get into the game /band then CT.....seems 2 feet is entirely likely somewhere in W CT right now.

Kbosch Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 It's just that the content of others posts after all that was pain stakingly outlined contained "worries" - if we want to call them that - that if they understood said outlined, they wouldn't have. Logically, that meant they either didn't get it, or ignored - Buuuuuut, I'm willing to admit my roll in this in that A, I tend to write too lofty sometimes (it's a skill to convey this sh*t) and that sometimes gets the point muddled for some, but more importantly B, I don't have nearly the time you guys do to dwell in this fun. I am working from home today and have yet to log into the office to start my fun-filled boring ass work day, but when I do, hours will go by ....amounting to about 30 pages worth - LOL - and I will not have known what was said. For that/this, it is my fault. Still, I did see enough that it was frustrating to be honest. I wrote why the storm would take the western route and supported in with physical/dynamical reasoning that was clad, and not have way through the next page for example I'd read some Met say something like, "I won't take the NAM with the GFS so far SE so close to the event" - it's like ...wtf are you talking about! Lord knows I've had to choke down a lesson or two, Btw dude, I think there is a shot that 7 or 8 days from now there will be something more to track. Man, what a baby I am - the storm is in its middle age and all ready I'm fearing post-mortem era of storm withdrawal. I hate that... the run up is soo much fun (er, provided the models don't pull that crap like that which led the KU storm), then you immerse in your drug, then the violent shakes of nothing to look forward to kick in... Part of the issue was certain people tossing the NAM since it's the NAM and hugging the GFS for some reason. It wasn't a personal thing...they just prefer it and despise the now beloved NAM and seemingly lacked the understanding that the meso would have a much better clue. Cranking snow, hopefully I can get another inch or two, come on! My end is near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowMan Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I'm just glad I have 15.5 at home... may get to 20 by end of event... can't wait to go and play with the dog!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confuzzled Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Two problems: 1) House must be very dry as my core sample must be sublimating since its half the size and there is no liquid in the can. 2) The stick I am using to find my snowboard is almost covered in snow Its pouring snow in Wtby, CT right now.... Edited: the snow seems denser in the can, so I am thinking its just melting and causing the still frozen fluffy snow to compact....sorry, I never did this before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I'm afraid we are seeing a deterioration of the banding, as opposed to a wait for the back edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 RUC was too far west on the track - low went between BID and MVY (closer to MVY) and now is heading between EWB and FMH. http://climate.cod.e...ates/ma.sfc.gif Hey Yaakov!

moneypitmike Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Great stuff out there. Tough to measure. Winds ripping from the NW with heavy snow. Lots of blowing and driffing Best estimate from measuring is 13". Tough to guage though due to the winds. 22.1/20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnmov Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Just drove in from Lexington to my office in Boston. Just pure white out conditions once I got to Cambridge and Storrow Drive. Storrow is going to be a mess later with trees and branches down. Passed about 5 trees down already. Hats off to the plow guys. They are doing a great job this morning. Roads were remarkably passable - even the side roads. Snow was totally cranking when I left home. Plowed the driveway at 5:15 and by the time I left, about 45 mins later, there was already 2 more inches down. Heaviest snow I've seen in a long time.

Mr. Windcredible! Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 LOL, who ignored you? Come on...messenger posted for the past 2 days why we should follow the globals and bashing the BAM. Did you miss that? Granted I don't know there were many others...people were just playing it safe considering the amped solutions the NAM was offering.

Granted I don't know there were many others...people were just playing it safe considering the amped solutions the NAM was offering. I wasn't going to name names...but there was a sizable enough contingent hugging globals that had a fringe group who, while not dismissing the NAM, put it at 20/80 or 30/70 compared to globals.
