40/70 Benchmark

40%...not bad.

Down to-7.1

Ah...I had a 1/2" of slush lol

@Damage In Tolland does.

That's like saying the MLK day storm was like the blizzard, but less snow if any.

I remember it well...was 13.

I could see it trending south with that high. I'm probably biased because that last one drained me. I'm fine either way, as I could use a break..if it snows, I'll take it.

Doesn't rank in northern Mass....impressive cold and wind with pedestrian snowfall. The greats had more widespread historic totals.

I didn't say I checked out. I said I'm not interested in this one. Could that change, sure.

Everyone knows where I stand on being due...been a half decade since I've come with 10" of normal. We wait...

Yea, out near Albany had that death band that gave BGM like 44", and Brian like 35".

+12" 22.5" on the season.

I don't have much interest in this next one.

We always go back and forth, but I'm never serious when I say that stuff. You took a lot of ribbing yesterday, so I feel like that can take on a life of it's own sometimes.

It was very tough...I know you are usually conservative.

Sounds about right.

I always trust your numbers 100%...and Kev, as much as we break balls. The idea that he inflates is totally false...he is actually very meticulous.

https://easternmassweather.blogspot.com/2022/01/blizzard-of-22-verification.html Blizzard of '22 Verification Solid Effort with Mixed Results In the lead up to the Blizzard of '22, the primary question pertaining to the evolution of the storm was the degree to which the descent of arctic air into the region would cause the storm to deflect to the east and chase convection over the ocean. Thus it was this crucial question that represented the focus of Friday's Final Call. Eastern Mass Weather postulated that the heaviest snows would fall in two primary bands. The first being associated with the mid level deformation over east central Mass down into Eastern Connecticut: This area of very heavy snowfall was the result of mid level convergence due to both the changing of wind direction and speed: And a steep temperature differential: As evidenced by the relative humidity fields (moisture) in the mid levels of the atmosphere: This culmination of factors in the mid levels of the atmosphere was forecast to result in the intense lift necessary to produce excessive snowfall rates of up to 2 to even as much as 6" per hour an isolated areas: While this idea worked out for the most part, the area of intense lift transferred to the coast, instead of extending into north central and interior NE Mass, as forecast. Thus the heaviest snows materialized over eastern CT: Before relocating to southeastern Mass and coastal eastern Mass. This caused the heaviest snows, from about 24-30", to shift from the forecast primary area of focus for heavy banding, across the interior, to the secondary area along the coast: This subsequently became the primary focus for the heaviest mesoscale banding that was originally forecast to translate across Worcester county and interior NE Mass. Ultimately, towards the latter stage of the storm on Saturday evening, the forecast area of deformation banding across the interior did materialize, producing a secondary somewhat lesser maxima of up to about 18". However, this was too late to reach the forecast amounts of 18-30" in this area, which ended up occurring over southeast Mass in association with the coastal area of deformation. Final Snowfall Accumulations: vs Final Call: & First Call: Final Grade: B-

Seems to jive..thanks.

@Torch TigerWhat was your final total? You are another one I trust not to overmeasure

Both of your measurements makes sense to me. @TheBudMan I could see you getting 2-3" more than my sister in e Wilmington because RAD clearly shows the west end of that band got you.

Just bc it wasn't historic in our BYs, doesn't mean it wasn't historic for other areas....it certainly was.

I had like 21"..there were dual events IIRC..

Wife not so much...son has never seen it. Seems like daughter may have a bit of an interest...they are so young, yet...

Yea, you and ORH will get 2', and I'll get a 1/2" of slush
