weatherMA Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Maybe we can share some, but you got more early on... we need to make up for lost time. Very true...what's your total now? 14"? We were at 16" as of 50 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I'm buried here. I don't we ever got above 30F I hit 31*. Got about 18", but that last deform band still lurks..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 The Cape took it on the chin. Yep but I'll say I'm happy Scott. I measured 4.0 to 4.5 OTG just after 7. It changed over and poured after about 445. There was a lot more snow OTG at 445 than at 7 when I was looking out the window as the thundersnow changed to thundersleet then rain. I think the reason so many measurements are light in SE MA on this side of the bridge is that we had a lot of melting/compaction before people measured. There was a very sharp cutoff right over the bridge it appears. Not to be a slant sticker but I think in the 2-3 hours it took me to measure we lost an inch or so here with the rain and temps. There was plenty to plow, and overall I'm happy. In the end I think the GFS temp profiles were better here either by luck or by good modeling. The NAM and a lot of the higher res stuff blew it...although I will say the MM5 did a decent job indicating some frozen probability issues. The ARW/NMM were pretty brutal IMO on temps. NOAA is NOT having a good week on the Cape. People are kind of pissed off to say the least, businesses were closed, schools closed etc etc....2nd time in a week we went from big snows to not much on the cape itself.

OKpowdah Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Well it appears that most areas west of the Canal are 12+ in all of NE other than far northern ME/NH/VT. Impressively widespread storm. very exciting to have one that pretty much everyone can come together on! Haven't had a classic like this in a while.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I bet my place in maine gets 20...unbelieveable. Enormous positive bust for northern new england. Kind of funny how what was a 50 mile shift in surface track expectation resulted in such a change. You know it's a huge bust when even the ski resorts were under advertisting the results.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 very exciting to have one that pretty much everyone can come together on! Haven't had a classic like this in a while. I don't remember 1/2005 exactly...cannot remember if we got tsnow in that one. If we did it's been 6 years, if we didn't it's the first time I've had tsnow since I moved from teh snow belt up by foxboro. When the house shakes waking up everyone at 430 am with blinding snow, that's just awesome. When it shakes again at 5 and it's sleet not as cool but unreal. I could hear the thunder as it rolled away, so it went on for awhile. Saw new bedford reported a thunderstorm at 4 temp 29 or so, I'm picking up another 1" right now maybe 2, I'll make 6" which is about what I expected - low end, but that's life on the ocean. I feel bad for the real cape, they got porked bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpickett79 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I am on the attleboro/north attleboro border and have 11...and that may even be a tad generous. ok... what doesn' t make sense is that you said you only had 1 inch between 7 and 10 am (approximately) looping the radar at those times it appears evident you got screwed over....but someone within a couple miles certainly could have gotten over an inch an hour snows in that time. i mean per radar returns ......it looked clear that someone over plainville/ mansfield and extreme N. attelboro was getting hit hard ...that's all. doesn't seem unreasonable.

Arnold214 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Did you go down to Mass to improve your chances on more snow? lol I had to be here anyway...but i would have bet the farm they would not have doubled up on me in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwiz Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I certainly have to be oh so close to 20'' if I'm not there already, it's been snowing enough to where I've had to have some accumulation since I last checked when I had 19''....only issue now is everyone is out snowblowing so I have to find a spot I can check to measure since I can't do so in my yard.

Yeah, I'm guessing about 20" or so back home. DOT garage had 20.3" at 11 a.m. in Farmington and normally I'm extremely close to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have photos from that area in a little bit. Power is still down, phone lines are down, it's ugly. Lots of tree damage again. They took a beating up in north easton over to sharon, stoughton, along and west of bay road into the hills by moose hill in sharon. They got 12-15".
