I remember the day after the storm driving up to Megan's in N Chelmsford...they had maybe 6-7". We got to ASH and it was double that. Big gradient in only like 5-6 miles. There was def a subsidence area between very heavy precip closer to BOS (which was mostly rain that storm) and the heavier snow bands further west.
Quite frustrating.

Help with that, keeping the marine layer at bay...like a wedge, you mean?

Yeah....but I will also warn you, that Methuen, plays with fire a bit, and likes to be close to/in the exhaust. That October snowstorm, we got jack....just sat in the exhaust the whole storm..ended with like 5", didn't have to go too far west to get into the good snows.

Dan, that is correct. I always pay close attention to the wind direction. If the wind begins to turn more toward the east I know the CF will soon pass by. If the wind is more to the NE or N I know the CF is going to have a difficult time pushing further to the N and W.
I recall that microburst. And I toured the area after it hit. Some homes had tree limbs all over them while houses 2 doors down had only minor tree damage. In some areas there was almost a funneling affect.
There's a little ridge that runs along and east of Howe St, starting at the loop and heading into New Hampshire that probably helps a bit....after east and south from the it flattens out around the Merrimack River

Yea, I'm about a mile north of the fire station....I'll have to try tripolis.
Coastal front got me in the last event....made it all the way to Nashua, but that is in Novie on an east wind.
Yeah...its a bit early in the year still...easier time getting through

Yea, I'm right off of Howe st...Hall st.
Scooter told me Methuen was good for storms lol....can't be any worse than Wilmington.
Were you usually on cold side of coastal front?
Most time's yes....It would come just up to Lawrence and alot of time stall out there and eventually back down. Not all the time, but alot of the time it had a hard time pushing through.
It's a decent spot, as I said not great for t-storms, although a microburst went through just north of the fire station a couple of years ago. Always a good spot for wind, if you are into that.
If you like cannoli's, tripoli's are fantastic.

Yea...north of the loop.
I was just north of the loop on Howe st, diagonal from Tripolis for 9 years.
You can go back and see how I did over the last few years since I updated the table....its not a bad spot...sucks for thunderstorms, did well in most snow storms.

I'm in Kevin. One change for me though. I am no longer in Methuen...I am in Brentwood NH now. Can I get the username and password again, as it appears I have lost it.
Thanks.

You're welcome. Methuen has allowed too many homes to be built. The schools are bursting at the seams because they are so overcrowded. And the traffic in the area has become very much like the traffic in the Boston area. Each afternoon and morning Rte 93 and Rte 495 are choked with traffic for hours.
How are the home prices in your area?
They are cheaper then down here at least. Main reason why we moved North, to get more land and more house for the money. Yes property taxes are higher but wanted out of here.

Congrats--enjoy the snow!
Thanks...I think the snow stats for where I am now are similar to where I was. I was looking for that better snow map that shows the average snows, but couldn't find it. I am sure its in a thread here somewhere.

Dan,
Congrats on your move. I'm wishing you and your family all the best in your new home. You picked a good time to leave Methuen. The city is being hit by one scandal after another. And I'm sure there are additional scandals in the pipeline.
Thanks Great Snow...I appreciate that. That certainly doesn't sound good. I haven't been too close to the issues in Methuen as of late, but based on your comment I am glad I moved on. One thing I noticed at least down where I was, was all the houses they have build building in Northern Methuen up on Hampstead street and Howe...just house after house...the traffic was getting unbearable.

Rain gauge down the street now reporting 4.10"

Just moved up to New Hampshire this weekend. Found a house a few houses down that is reporting to Weather Underground. Don't know how good his rain gauge is, but currently reporting 3.2" so far. Again, I have no idea what his equipment is, just reporting what it says at the moment.

Metrowest is going to be the big winner I think...They always do well in these setups.

If its 93 it isn't?
What are the odds of hitting 93 in April and needing AC vs highs in the 40s and needing heat? Probably leans much more to the heat.
