Yeah the smaller battery ones are good for the 6-10" blower powder snows. For a compound like that up there, I'd prob have a heavy duty one and then a little smaller one that can handle all the small to moderate powder events you get.
Had an additional 1.5 overnight for 17. New depth is more like 14.5-15 (total depth 18ish)....that paste at the end plus several tenths of very dense snizzle on top is definitely helping compact things. This pack is ridiculous now.
This one was a bit unique in that it had a really good sig on the north side of the ML warm front. That firehose basically getting lifted over the top of the temp gradient...pretty good recipe for big time rates that can sustain for several hours rather than relying on putrid decaying mesobands.
Nope...not in the NW and W suburbs/exurbs it didn’t.
Definitely an old school 128 to 495 storm.
Looks like about 15.5” in Holliston...though honestly it would prob be 3-4” more if the snow didn’t fall “in the wrong order”...it was absolute 20 to 1 blower powder for the first half of the event and then it went to slightly denser but still powdery snow...and finally it went to paste. That prob helped compact things down quite a bit despite the insane rates. Hopefully we limp home with a few more.
I really thought you’d get like 6-8”. Like a Slightly better version of 2/13/14...but just a smidge too much marine influence i guess. Kind of sucks this one couldn’t be a few degrees colder so that there were fewer screw zones.
