  1. Are the BOX maps worth looking at? Seems like a rather broad area of 6"+ snows with a more in the interior o SE Mass.
  2. Looks like 4-6 here (Sunday), if I'm reading things right. Hope James can cash in a bit down on the Cape My 90 yo father in law would kill me, if he heard that lol. He lives in Dennis. Does this thing have potential for a widespread warning (even at low level) outside of 495 and N of the pike?
  3. 27/26 fog and "snizzle". Wind is still roaring. From the looks of things outside and from 25 years in this house, I'd throw out 18" at least. On the east side of the city on Green Hill. Elevation 660'.
  4. 27/26 S+ Good night Irene. We'll have to see what morning looks like, but if we can avoid any rain or paste, that will be great. Been quite a storm.
  5. How about everyone gets to share the joy? With a huge jack down your way (my father in law will not be pleased, though, lol).
  6. 27/25 visibility down to maybe 200 yards.
  7. 27/25... S+, haven't gone out since I shoveled around 5. There was about 6" at that point. A lot more since but with the wind it is hard to tell.
  8. 26/24 fierce wind and very heavy snow right now.
  9. In a perfect world we'd have one 4-8 inch snow fall every three or four days. The fluffy kind, no wind, gentle rates. Sorry to be off topic. Been b----ing about the amounts predicted for here just because I'm getting old and find lifting the wet stuff a bit scarier than just a few years ago. Sorry to be off topic. 25/23 SN, windy but not too ferocious for my neighborhood.
  10. Me too. And I'm glad to give them that 9 inches additional BOX is forecasting for here.
  11. 25/22 About 6 inches here. Just shoveled. Still light and fluffy. Wind makes it hard to tell amount, but it was more than I expected. Saw 9" in BOX snow amounts but then realize they were saying 9 more inches. Upper end is about 16", lower end is 10. If it keeps up we'll probably exceed the lower end unless there is a dry slot hanging around out there.
  12. 24/19 temp is rising now. Tiny flakes, but low visibility. Probably fog. I'm going to go for around 8" here if this keeps up. That will be just fine. Can't stand being cooped up.
  13. 23/19 Snow, fog, wind. Maybe 2" since start. Hard to tell with all the wind.
  14. The earlier NWS forecast for us had a change over to freezing rain and sleet. I'll take partly cloudy and 40 over that any day.
  15. Looks good for ORH since I'm not looking forward to 15 inches of semi frozen water.
  16. The worst of it here will come when the snow turns to slop tonight. It will be the third time this winter where I have to exchange my snow blower for a shovel so I can lift water logged garbage. Only hope is that the CT valley snow hole extends eastward. Guess I'm getting too old to enjoy this kind of storm. Was surprised to see temps in mid 30's tonight with a changeover to mixed. What a change from last night!
  17. 17/10 here. Very light snow. Hard to believe it will be raining before its over in ORH. Just had a feeling last night. Gonna be a messy storm.
  18. Good night. Let's see what the morning brings. Should be an interesting couple of days.
  19. Any major dry-slotting in ORH area? If not, why not? It seems like the CT valley is consistently getting ruined with ORH county (especially central east) getting slammed. I remember living in Amherst many decades ago and watching my hometown get 15" while Amherst squeezed in 6". Is this common, though? Or, is this an especially weird winter with the December storm dropping 4 feet in Central NH while other areas got diddly. I don't seem to recall two major storms doing this in recent years.
  20. Thanks. The idea of a foot plus of snow sodden with another inch of water on a steep Worcester hill like mine is a terrifying thought. LOL. Snow blower can't handle it and at 65, I'm not so sure I can count on my ticker either.
  21. Rain/snow line? BOX discussion mentions mix and changeover for Eastern MA, Eastern CT, and RI.
  22. Small flakes coming down heavily. Grass covered. Road still wet. Temp 30F
  23. I mean the 6 weeks from the end of January to the end of February 2015 defined the entire winter. Meantime, December and January (until that last week) were awful. March was OK. But we recall just that one stretch as if it ran from Halloween to May Day.
  24. I'll take a couple straight weeks of winter. Hopefully a good couple of hits during it. If its good enough the memory of it will make many of us consider it one of those winters of yore.
