Yep-I remember how much ice I saw on Reynolds Channel in Jan 2004 and being amazed, it really resembled the Arctic. Would be awesome to see that again.
-
Wonder if we’ll see the back bays here frozen over. Probably given the duration of the cold and that every night should be in the teens and single digits some nights.
-
Boston probably still has a couple inches to go today/tonight.
-
It absolutely looks like 11-12” fell here and then some. The mall piles will be huge. Sleet is a buzzkill when it’s happening but we’re thankful tomorrow and after. It’s just hell trying to shovel it, but excellent for building and keeping snowpack.
-
The Op should be thought of as another ensemble member at this point.
-
Imagine it a week from now.
-
There’ll always be the kicker shortwaves we have to look for these days but at this point it’s way too far out to be determined.
-
And with the ridge axis that far west I don’t see this going out to sea with no impact. If anything that’s a ridge axis that favors inland areas.
-
Look at ensembles for another 48 hours. If the big storm signal is there that’s all we need.
-
Centre Island has 15.3” which I also think is probably high even though they’re right on the sound. Oceanside coming in with 11” is quite impressive right on the south shore and is likely even higher in the end since it was during heavy sleet. @uofmiami do you have a total?
-
I would look at ensembles at this point vs op runs. We want the setup to be there and a storm present vs specific track.
-
Could it crap out-sure, but this isn’t some phantom major storm the models come up with at Day 7 or 8 that the overall pattern doesn’t support. This one has a real shot IMO.
-
Here it mixed in often with needle flakes which probably helped the accumulation a little. But this will harden into a brick and if we get a lot more over the weekend we’ll have a 2010-11 type snowpack.
-
The sleet didn’t knock the depth down here either, guess there was 2” or so of sleet but it all counts and you can see now how much denser it made the snowpack.
-
That’s what will probably fill in for Boston and nudge them over 20” but maybe some flurries here. But primarily looks good for SNE.
-
Yep. What a great event. Trying to move what fell yesterday evening sucked something else. And my car is encased in ice.
-
Looks like 11.5" sent right around my neighborhood last night-wasn't me. Probably right around a foot then if you count what fell since.
-
I think 6 hours. There’s high end potential here because of the positioning of the trough/SE Ridge, some blocking remaining in place and amplitude of the trough/ridge. I’d give it some more time but definitely KU potential.
-
Light snow, another coating on top of what fell. I’ll go with the 11” others in my area have since it was tough to measure and I think some blowing snow/stuff got onto my table I use to measure. What a mess. I wonder what liquid equivalents people have?
-
Ending as sleet here, maybe some pixie dust flakes. Very impressive storm.
-
That's impossible. Must have somehow gotten to 32 from snywx land to Boston? I thought it was guaranteed 20-1 ratios when temps were in the single digits and teens? No freaking way!!
-
This cold surface air wasn’t being dislodged other than on the immediate NJ shore and maybe Montauk.
-
In the dry slot without strong lift we likely get freezing drizzle for a while.
-
This will be dense glop that becomes a glacier. And we’ll have piles from it that resemble the 18”+ north and west since it has the same water content. Very high impact event here and roads will be a disaster for a while.
-
In fairness the Pivotal snow maps aren’t supposed to count sleet as snow. RRFS might count sleet so if that’s true it was a win.
