    Cat 2 on NESIS and Cat 3 on RSI, I think the latter is a far better representation of this storm’s magnitude despite not quite hitting all of the population centers as hard as it could’ve, like some in the past (PDII, Jan 1996, Feb 1983, etc). If the core Boston area had gotten 2 feet instead of 15”, it’d easily be a Cat 4 on the RSI.

    This storm has been rated a high end Cat 3 on the RSI scale for the Northeast, which to me seems like a fair ranking considering it didn’t quite bullseye most of the population centers with the heaviest amounts, missed DC/Baltimore entirely, and was fairly confined to the coast. However, it produced historic or near historic snowfall amounts over the area it did strongly affect and did drop 20+” on most of the NYC metro. Way better than NESIS IMO.

    So is Central Park just going to pretend that the 0.15" of liquid after their 1 PM observation of 19.7" didn't exist or...
  4. andyhb
    Did PVD not get additional snow after their 37.9" measurement? There were a couple of bands that pivoted through there that probably should've got them above 38" officially. Central Park is obviously worse, they got 0.15" of liquid after their 19.7" observation at 1 PM. That is straight up shortchanging.

    Those Fall River pics remind me of some that I’ve seen out of Woonsocket/vicinity from 1978.
  6. andyhb
    Next level/biblical stuff out of Fall River MA.
  7. andyhb
    Yeah it was 34.5", that's the highest I can think of for second place.
  8. andyhb
    There's like two dozen 30"+ reports from the Providence area, you were just north of the highest amounts.
  9. andyhb
    I may be wrong, but for the official stations of the major cities (BDL, PVD, BOS, ORH, etc), is that the highest storm total ever recorded in SNE?
  10. andyhb
    https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/afos/p.php?pil=RERPVD&e=202602240000 37.9 inches at PVD!!
  11. andyhb
    Just unreal. No idea what the total is now, but I wouldn’t rule out 40.
  12. andyhb
    Boston getting the goods now with that re-developing band, and PVD too, which is hilarious.
  13. andyhb
    Radar is filling back up over RI/E MA with the approach of the deformation axis on the backside. Probably going to make a run at 40" in spots.
  14. andyhb
    40" within reach?

    Official NWS observation at the airport.
  16. andyhb
    And now a 33.5" report from 2 E Providence. Clearly an all time storm for the city along with Feb 1978.

    A 3 footer at an official obs site for a major city would be insane, and I think that's becoming pretty likely.
  18. andyhb
    Providence RI is breaking a long standing record from 1978 as we speak. Incredible obs coming out of there.
  19. andyhb
    Latest observation is just insane for an official site as well.
  20. andyhb
    That's a legendary record falling as we speak.
  21. andyhb
    I have strong suspicion that they might as this point, they've been sitting under that band for at least a couple hours since the last observation plus it seems there is a bit of a westward expansion/extension right around PVD's latitude. Then you have all of the backside deformation/etc. to go as the storm continues lifting NE.
  22. andyhb
    Where are you getting these reports? Need some corroborating evidence.
  23. andyhb
    All-timer satellite image.
  24. andyhb
    That's an MCD for the ages right there.
  25. andyhb
    One of the greatest MCDs you will ever see for a snowstorm right here from SPC.
