Tolland Death Band Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 This may be 2nd my favorite snowstorm of all time, after '78. Ridiculous snow depths everywhere and a beautiful tundra-like appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowwoman Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 First: 2.5 Second:9.5 Total: 12 Here are the totals from Ansonia from yesterday....I rounded down some spots were just above the .5 marker when taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 14.2" seems a bit high in Woonsocket. I've noticed they tend to be a bit inflated. I got a rough average of 10" out here. They got 1.6" more than me in the first half...but eh. I'd guess 11-12" down there. The banding was better just north of here so I can believe the Millbury/Milford totals.

Tropopause_Fold Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 officially 4.5" IMBY. seems like a general 3 to 8" across the Cape. a lot of 3 to 5" from about Eastham to Barnstable. dryslot FTL...but still better than no snow. some spots picked up 2" on the upper cape yesterday but lost some of it overnight...have to guess that event total is ballpark 3 to 10" across the cape. on to the next one.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 its true....the euro was outstanding if it had just stuck to its guns, but it really crapped out the last 2 runs.....wierd!!! When it lost the signal for a single consolidated whacking it crapper out. Not really sure why. Although the nam was first with the idea or the splitter it's so erratic it's unusable most of the time. I dont understand what's going on with it as the rgem isn't all over the place and held pretty good on this one. Ruc was good but it did go too far nw for a bunch of hours. Hrrr was better when the ruc was way nw, then came a little too far se. But it did pretty much nail the 10-20" zones in ct ri MA at different times. It also was one of the few models to show the cape mostly busting low again due to temps and dry intrusion. In the end I think the model troubles centered on two vorticity centers circling the midlevel. Look at last nights water vapor, as it exited the coast there's a tight northern spin that rides around the top of the circulation just as it passes under long island. That helped to nail ct even harder than the most optimistic model forecast. It also turned things sour for a lot of the extreme coast and cape which for the most part so far busted another warning I think. Four straight. Meanwhile the canal continues to be the divider. 9" here. Five to ten miles se there's less than half that. 10 miles nw a lot more. I'm happy. Peak wind gust of 47 mph. Frankly I don't understand how I'm hanging onto snow here each time not the climo at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly I don't understand how I'm hanging onto snow here each time not the climo at all. there are reports of 7 to 9" in parts of bourne and sandwich. it's a general 3 to 5 3 to 6 kinda thing from barnstable eastward... i think overall the mid-cape is the area that came in lower (at least than i expected). i was thinking 6-7 in D/Y/B area and it's more like 4/5. outer cape (though chatham could be much lower not sure) i've heard 3 to 5.

free_man Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Well I did a bunch of snowdepth measures in Wilmington on the Billerica line, close to where the Middlesex canal is. 22-25" most common. 6" new here at home, 20-23" depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha5 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Just amazing down here, had 14.5" from the storm, and now have a total snow depth of 27", piles are well over 4' and there running out of places to put the snow One for the record books for sure...

Yukon Cornelius Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 About 5.8" here. Was only expecting 3", so nice to wake up this morning to a bit more. Healthy, healthy snowpack out there. This is what winter is suppose to look like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Massive cleanup 18 new , the PNS 17.5 in Moosup was by the local ham guy, unreal, had 36 inch depth this AM for new record. Snow blower taxed pics later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually we'll get ours, may not be this year though! I'm starting to think it's just impossible to beat this pattern. Pretty much anywhere NW of us you can forecast 8-16" for every frontal passage and be right. Down here no matter how much it looks like 5-10/6-12 we find a way to cut it in half. Just to give you the run down so you know up here. The Sagamore report of 7.5"...not sure if that's storm total or not. It was pretty critical to measure during the height last night during the change or the amounts would be a little low. South plymouth reports 8, the Bourne NOAA employee (it got changed to spotter but I'm pretty sure it read employee earlier) had 5.7". They're on the other side of the bridge by the base close to falmouth which was even less. The warm nose seemed to sit just to my south for a bit along the dry slot before it compressed finally. We ended up with about 1.7" from the first batch. Matches the NWS Employee report. It was entirely gone last night before the new stuff fell. Salt water for the loss. We had about 1.5" of heavy wet snow and sleet before the full turn. We picked up about 6" after the change....so 9" total, snow depth is probably about 7" right now of new snow. It weighs a ton. Plastered to trees, windows, I had two feet of sludge on the front door, all the windows facing the water are caked. Lost power 4 times during the height. Once the snow line moved in winds died off quite a bit. Peak gust was 47 during the sleet. One faint clap of thunder off to the east associated with the 35dbz band that raced NW. Not a bad storm. I'm guessing during the 2 hours of mix we lost out on about 2-3" of snow at that intensity. It was pouring sleet and snow. Hands down RUC was actually best with temp profiles here. Nailed th warm nose that was just a hair above freezing above 850 and nailed the time of it collapsing east almost exactly. That's about the 4th or 5th storm this year where it beat everything else on temps. 1000-700 CT's were the key. If people didn't meausure at 200 ish when the full change took place they lost an inch or so in their totals I believe. I now see why some are very religous about measuring. going to take a ride later today up north of Bob to see some friends. Snow banks so high snowblowers cant fire over them. Last seen.....1978.

CT Rain Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 My mom says they have just shy of 30" of depth in Guilford hahaha. That's amazing! We're mid 20s here but the piles are so incredible which makes this ~25" depth look so much more impressive than a similar depth after a 2 ft snowstorm.
