ORH_wxman

Friday feels like a whiff. Do any OP models even have it as a hit now?

Post clipper squalls on the 3k....

Of course he is....there's an unwritten bond between all weather and snow weenies.

PVD is showing 35.5" for 2/23 and 6.7" for 2/22. That's 42.2" for those counting at home. I'm not sure if this is correct yet, but thats what the two daily CLI summaries show right now. edit: I'm an idiot, that was monthly total on 2/22....yeah they are still 37,9 as CLI on 2/22 was 2.4

Yo, Midlo in the house....thanks man. My front yard looks like yours usually does now.

I mean, there' always way for torches to fail here in this time of year, even if it "verifies" And by "verifies", i mean it actually ends up AN, but the pretty colors at 850 and 500 are way underpeforming at the sfc with CAD systems or light onshore flow. A 60F torching cutter turns into a cold 37F rain or even ice/rain.

Not sure why the BOS and ORH totals are wrong there, but BOS is over 60" now and ORH is actually 75.4" and not 77.5"

A few pics. I’m posting the pic I took Sunday morning too. The “before” pic for comparison.

Call it 19.5” in Holliston

That is epic for Fall River. I was wondering what they got down there. They were in the meat of that 40+ dbz band for as long as anyone. I think it’s probably real…or at worst, within the margin of error measuring this.

ORH was also the previous record 33.0” in the 3/31-4/1 ‘97 storm and then 32.9” in the Dec 1992 storm before that. Ironically, I think the previous 14 years, the record holder was PVD again with that 28.6 in 1978.

I def thought you might get deformed like Mar 2018 when this was shifting a bit east. But luck of the draw sometimes in strong coastals. Too bad the ULL didn’t stay further west under E LI because then nobody gets slotted or exhaust in SNE.

Might pick up there in a few. That band is trying to backbuild a bit into Middlesex county

We're trying to limp our way to a 20-burger....I'm calling it a shade over 19" right now using snow board and 2 alternate measurements in relatively sheltered areas. I could prob get away with calling it 20 given the wind/drifting, but I think that would be slightly steep. IF we can get another weenie band to intensity for an hour or two, then we can make it. Maybe we'll get a January 2022 LES type band....lol. At the end of that storm, I picked up nearly 5" during the evening in those backlash bands on NW winds....not easy to do, but it was like LES blower powder.

Yeah impressive. Although there’s gonna be some NW to SE beam drift now and sometimes these bands can start having more bark than bite as low levels start to dry

Scooter getting hammered on that band

Yep. They still want every 6 hours at first order sites...

This band out near 495 is just going to town here right now. Choking dendrites on the east side of it. South shore stuff seems to be re-intensifying again a bit.

As a rule (I had mentioned this before the mega SWFE on 1/25-26), I try not to stray over 13 or 14 to 1 even in cold events that look “decent” in the soundings. That’s basically the cold snow climo in a lot of New England (outside of the upslope zones). Unless you have overwhelming model consensus on strong crosshair sigs in an event that isn’t super complex or long-duration….that might be the exception.

We continue to rip in this stuff. It’s not the stuff of PVD lore and SE MA but been lucky enough to stay in it when a little further NW sucked on exhaust for a few hours. Consistently 1-2” per hour stuff. was just outside snow blowing and we had about 5” new from when I last did it and had 13”. So we’re past 18” at this point. 20+ is a lock.

Death band losing just a bit of intensity now but still obscene. Still heavy snow here under these ~25 dbz echos.

Seems to be congealing into a moderate to borderline heavy snow over E MA as the uber intense stuff is sinking a touch SE…but the subsidence zones are disappearing NW of 495

How does Cory have single digits? I'm at 15" minimum and north of him in Holliston

Keep regenerating and making little surges west. We'll pulse back to moderate and then go back to whiteout 300 yard vis. Picked up here again in the past few min. Absolute destruction where you are right now and just south

You visiting down in RI for this one? IF so, that's awesome....Yeah, ground zero there
