Dendrites starting to mix in. We’ve been moderate pure baking powder for about an hour now. Growth noticeably improving the last few min. Temp 4.8F.
-
Ok yeah it was just weathertap screwing up a couple frames. Back online. Looks like incoming for ORH-PVD
-
I hope this is just a weathertap radar glitch and not the BOX radar going down
-
I remember starting as snow in that one around -4F. Hard to believe it flipped later on. Kind of like the Tip storm from Jan ‘94. Shouldn’t have to worry about it this time.

Dont see a map like this every day.

No, both Feb ‘03 and Feb ‘78 were just over 27” but the 2003 measurement is kind of fake. It was controversial at the time. They cleared too frequently. But they’ve never had 30”+. Though I think there is a good chance that the city itself cracked 30 in the ‘78 storm.

When the next one crushes 128-westward, we’ll conclude he was released with an ankle bracelet.

Prob Jan 2004 you are thinking of. We had a couple small clippers with temps near zero.
-
3k was ran from your basement
-
This one was below zero for a while
-
Seems like the northern extent of it did tick a little north. Don’t think it affects his area. Might affect places like PYM-EWB but prob not a game-changer in the overall scheme of the storm. An hour or two earlier could cost them a couple inches.

They are getting ratios that we typically get in SWFE…being not as deep into the arctic airmass.
-
Had that one saved from a long time ago. I think we made that in the ‘07-08 winter.
-
This setup is pretty cool. We haven’t really had a storm like this when you combine the type of storm with the magnitude of the airmass. It’s like a Jan ‘05 airmass but a massive juiced SWFE type storm that in a normal winter airmass might front end us and then give a whole mess of IP/ZR/RA well into CNE. But this is not a normal airmass.
-
Wow juicy. Has all of us in Central and E MA over 1.5” of QPF.
-
I picture you more like this (except it’s snowing out)
-
Canadians at it again.
-
Yes it did.
-
Your area very well might jack or at least near-jack.
-
CAD wouldn’t really impact sleet vs snow. CAD will be lower level. It’s prob weird shaped because it’s marginal…the warm layer above 0C is prob very very thin so slightly different rates/dynamics might cause it to flip between snow and sleet at that point.

January 2026 regional war/obs/disco thread

https://www.meteo.psu.edu/ewall/NARR/1981/us1206.php Feb ‘99 was similar too https://www.meteo.psu.edu/ewall/NARR/1999/us0225.php -
Jan ‘05 def did. Jan ‘11 for sure. Jan ‘17. Those were coastals though. This is basically a massive SWFE. We do get some coastal characteristics below about 800-850mb, but can’t really recall a similar system. Maybe Feb 5, 2014…that was a really juiced SWFE. Airmass wasn’t like this though. This airmass being so cold is what makes this one a different beast.
