#NoPoles

As always, anybody within traveling distance to sandwich ma is invited to come climb at the adventure park in sandwich. If I'm not working I can take 4 climbers for free. Kids 7 and up can climb. Or if you all do a g2g down this way, come and climb before you meet up in the evening.

Damn the entire northern border of CT is swallowed by those two merged cells

So, AMC is showing Twister. Just started. RIP Bill and Dusty

Can I ask what the general overall feeling is on the potential? I feel like when things are predicted ahead of time, severe never materializes. It seems like SNE does better in "sneaky scooter" setups...things that never really warrant a preemptive warning usually end up producing 

Well, the sun is out in plymouth right to the coast...but we mostly don't have to worry about tornadoes..

Was wondering when you guys would fire up a spring thread

It may not do it justice after settling. Even here at work it settled a bit.

Ray took some live video via FB yesterday and it shows how deep the snow is with his ruler, and it also shows how much is piled up cars etc...it is a great visual reference

I think you should share your pics and live video with Harvey and Eric so that they can get a visual.

that may have been the same exact winter I am thinking of. 

Actually i think you're right

Yeah that was the winter....2009-2010. It still gives a lot of people PTSD about a -NAO despite what happened the next winter with a strong -NAO....then 2013 and now this March. 

Ill say to wiz, confluence isn't a bad thing. It's only bad when it's so strong we get whiffed. But confluence helps with frontogenesis so you can wring out extra precip too...and on would-be rainers, it can force them underneath us for snow instead. 

Blue Hills had a weather conference that winter. My friend and I went, and that's where I met scituatewx. Paul Kocin was there. We all went up to the observatory and my friend and I hung out with Kocin and watched the radar, and basically cried together. If there had been a bar in the observatory we would have been drunk.

Question...this isn't storm related but I can't remember this for the life of me.

I remember several...several winters back...this may even go back to Eastern US Wx days but there was one winter where there was alot of talk about confluence to the north...I think that was the term...but if I am thinking of this correctly having confluence just to our north is NOT good for us...it keeps storm track suppressed to our south? 

Somewhere around 2010 we had an

-NAO on steroids. That was the year DC got like 3 or 4 huge storms and we sucked on cirrus

I follow the Sandwich Fire Dept. on FB. They were posting all the calls they went out on today. They just kept posting about trees down on houses, trees down on wires, poles on fire, snapped poles, live wires down and arcing. Then they started a list list of roads that were impassable due to downed debris. It's a war zone.

Dang it I have no place to measure. The back deck and yard are scoured bare, and the front yard is one giant wave drift. The driveway has been contaminated by the plow equipment. They plowed, and then came around with a huge snowblower on a skid steer and widened the street by snowblowing the plow piles up onto everyone's driveway. I can tell you that the snow is so dense, when I walk on it I don't sink more than two inches. WOMAN SNOW!

Diane, you said your porch had 2 inches. Is that your total?

No, the back yard gets scoured by a NE wind. I'd have to go to my front yard to measure

Heavy Fat flakes now. Finally in this band. Diane you seeing the goods?

Got the nice big fat flakes, but the classic intensity is lacking...still, I was stuck with baking powder sand all day so it's nice to see these beautiful flakes

12-13 depending on where I measured, you?

I haven't gone out at all. I thought I would just eyeball off the table on my porch. But nothing more than 2 inches accumulated, so I guess I have to go out to my driveway

Band is slowly moving east....but another slow moving band over ORH is migrating as well.

 

Oh ok, this radar is much better. I see why I'm not getting anything, I'm still in that small area of subsidence

That band to my west better curl through this way!

I can't figure out how we are getting nothing. How much did you get today?

My friend in middleboro just sent me a text saying he's in a heavy band. So how can it not be snowing where I am? Radar shows I'm under that band?

Supposedly I'm under that band, it's not doing anything

Besides an hour before the sun came up, when I was in the band that eventually parked in metrowest, it hasn't been bad in my area of plymouth. There was actually long thing oval of subsidence that hung out in my area all day. You can see bands rotate in from the ocean and when they pass the canal they die out. But I'm ok, we have cable, power, internet, heat, and my roof is intact.

Temp drop again 30/30

Also, pressure is rising now

The town of Sandwich is getting annihilated. Constant pounding with heavy wet snow bands. Almost the entire town without power. Telephone poles on fire, lots of main roads blocked with down trees...disastah!

Great @CoastalWx, Diane almost quit the board.

Well, if the only posters who are complaining have weenies, it's not the labia that's the problem
