ma blizzard

Yup - a davis vantage vue

95.4/74 looks to be the hottest day of the heat wave - 96.3 from Sunday should easily be topped

up to 2.07"

The caterpillars are crazy bad here .. it sounds like it is lightly raining at all times of day

would love to see re-analysis for this one http://www.glenallenweather.com/historylinks/1842/June 11, 1842.pdf mid 40s and flakes in the air midday in Boston on 6/10? I have my doubts, but who knows. Maybe there are newspaper archives that go back this far to verify/get more info?

BWW in Shrewsbury off of rt.9 has good views to the west pm me if you have any questions man

agreed .. you can't just throw that word out there - should be determined in post-analysis imo.

28.9/27 s- 2.7" new since 4:15 pm .. total is up to 21.9" while snow depth (just from this storm) is closer to 18"-19"

yeah not sure why the reports are so low in the PNS .. in the 13"-15" range in the area. As it is, my depth from just this storm is ~16"-17".

29.2/28 S+ 13.4" since 10 am - total is up to 19.2"

if this band persists for another hr, I'll be over 20" for sure

kind of surprised at the snowfall rates considering the visibility isn't that low .. I guess the snow really stacks up when you have ideal snow growth prob the best / most consistent snowfall rates since Jan '15 .. its been at constant 2-3" / hr since about 11:45

28.4/27 9.2" new since 10 am, ~3.5" in the past 70 mins total is up to 15.1"

6.1" new since 10 am up to 11.9"

27.7/26 absolutely nuking outside .. must be 2"-3" + / hr rates

29.5/28 5.8" stuck in the subsidence in-between bands now .. was ripping between 9-9:45

32.8 / 30 light snow, coating so far

just in time for the 40th anniversary

looks like a potent vortmax moving through though despite the QPF output I wouldn't be that surprised to see flakes one more time .. of course any accumulation is a whole different animal. There have been some interesting looking Op GFS weenie runs the past couple days in the extended ( day 7+). Just for entertainment sake, there was a region wide snowstorm on the 0z GFS a couple nights back at the end of the run (for like 4/28). Who knows .. maybe we are due for a late spring snow? Seems like there is a pattern with years ending in 7 (notwithstanding 2007) .. 1967, 1977, 1987, 1997 .. Although its probably all moot and we end up with a cutoff low off shore with days of misery mist and onshore flow ..

yeah some of the parameters look really good .. maybe some of those to the north will have better luck

def remember sleet mixing in during the afternoon / early evening of the Xmas '02 snowstorm. IIRC i measured just under 1' the next morning with most of the snow falling from 7-12 pm.

parameters look decent for some aurora sightings in NNE

Bz just flipped back (+)

yep just about to post .. i know its unlikely but might as well find somewhere dark to observe

I think 2 different concepts are being argued over, especially the second point: 1.) O^18 / O^16 ratio is indicative of changes in global SST / change in global ice volume --> relate to global surface Temps, although not directly 2.) O^18 / O^16 ratio corresponds to temperature of snow when the snow fell, which isn't necessarily where the snow fell ..
