Semper911

Just for the record, 14” in East Woonsocket, RI. 

The title of this thread is perfect for what for what happened last night.

A few surprises are in store for some.  Good luck figuring out who scores 10" when they expected 4"

He also needs to upgrade from those stupid red arrows. Makes my brain hurt.

I just want the Patriots to win.

I'm with you, James. And I want the power to stay on so we can watch it. That is all I ask from this storm.

The hype is already driving me mad in Ski Country.  The various associations like Ski Vermont, NH Tourism, etc and the individual ski resorts are already starting to talk about "foot and a half, two feet!" type stuff.  It's 5 days out.  There are big differences in Friday's light event, and if the models can't figure that out how the hell will they figure out Sunday?

I know its a holiday weekend for the ski areas but man this hype is going to get unreal.  I hate that part of me wishes something happens so those who take to social media early and PR departments learn not to promise people stuff 5 days out.

It's just business. They start early so people make plans to come up, and if they don't get 2 feet from the storm, they blame the wxmen but still make money. Most people have no idea how fickle the models are, especially 5 days out. But it's good for business. Really can't blame them I guess.

Glad you scored man. You guys have been screwed many times while others got hammered. It all equaks out 

I honestly don't look at as getting screwed. I just think of how many things have to go right for *anyone* to get snow, and when I get some it makes me very happy.

I grew up in Phoenix AZ so for me all snow is special. I'll take a 6-10er any day over the one-long-sunny-day I grew up in.

Yeah it was all about the midlevels. Same theme (different setup though) in march 2013 with the surface low way east but the midlevels were throwing forcing wayyy west into SNE. 

He has some great graphics on his Twitter. I follow him and check in there often because he really is a true wx weenie. Always worth a look, especially for the long range.

How did CrankyWx do?

Well he was right about the center of the system being so far east, but he never caught on that it didn't matter.

For the most part yes. I’m at 11.8” so far . Just got tickled by the outer edge of it 

I stole your snow. And I'm not sorry lol.

I am usually content with my parade of 6-10ers. But this was a special day.

All my measurements averaged out to an even 20", and I came in to look at the NWS snow totals page. 20" for Woonsocket.

So 20" it is. Still snowing somewhat, but bfd. I can't remember ever getting 20" in such a short duration. The bulk of it came between sunup and sundown.

This helps make up for March 2013 in RI:

 

 

It makes up for so many storms. You are amazing with your dates, btw. Savant for certain.

Next time you need to find a way to get Cory home.  He's flown home in the past for some duds and paid a lot of money to do so.  But he let this one get away.

If he was here he'd be whining he didn't get 30". Seriously. 

Sorry for stealing people's snow, but I have had mine stolen oh so many times.

Average measurement just now was 16.5, and it is just dumping snow imby.

Winds picking up again, vis: endzone to the 50 yard line.

Genuinely sorry for the snow theft victims.

Lightening up here as that band heads west. Gusts are picking up and temp down to 27.3.

Super light fluffy snow on top of an inch or two of slush. All my measurements were either 10, 11, or 12", so let's say 11" in N RI so far. 

And the power is holding on after being restored at 10 am. It's all fun and games until the power goes out.

It's been like 200 yard visibilty for about 2 hours now. Just blasting. Impossible to say how much on the ground, but Brett just said about 7"....it's all of that. If it stays like this for another hour we'll be close to 10 here

200 yards? Are you sure it's that much? 2 football fields? My vis is like from the endzone to the 30yd line. 100 feet and then a wall of white.

N RI is getting crushed...and adjacent SE MA like near our butterfish poster....gotta be near 10" in those spots now. Our poster up in Mendon was at 9" in extreme SE ORH county where they've been persistently under good banding.

Yeah Mendon is not far from me and I think my estimate of 5-6 was way too low. I am going out to measure now. My vis is literally 100 feet.

My backyard

Looking good, James! you're off to a good start. Hows the wind down there?

Power out in N RI for about an hour and a half, but it just came back on. 

31.1, winds cranking, +S, and maybe 5-6" down (eyeballing), Vis maybe 300ft. Pines straining under the weight.

Just. So. Much. snow in this band.

My brother turned me onto it. I recommend the Rendezvous version if you can find it. Campfire, though, is rather spicy and this could jive depending on your palate. 

Thanks brother, I'll look for it.

High West? 

Makers Mark. Never tried High West, but I'll look for it if you recommend it.

This is like the greatest night ever.

Every model trends in our direction, snows from NNE to SNE and even the Cape, no one is being a QPF queen, and Dendrite has a heart.

Who. Would. Have. Known?

And there's no work tomorrow. And there's bourbon.

We'll meet in the middle. The 5ppd is going back after the storm. Have at it James, but don't go too crazy. lol

You're a good man.

Not happening and I have my reasons. I like James, but you guys need to let it go. lol

Wow, harsh, but I'll trust that your reasons are valid. Okay if I keep posting his tweets?

Word is you have the power to take James off of the weenie list so he can post again during this time of blizzardly celebration. He promises to be a good boy, and he states categorically that he has changed his ways. If you can find it in your heart, please have mercy on our brother. In the name of the SnowGod, we pray.
