CT Rain Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 That death band is wild just offshore... looks like it won't even make it to ACK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Nice to see the east cape and ack get slammed. Kudos to those who knew f the sharp cutoff from good snow to nada. Maybe 30 miles as the crow flies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnmov Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Winds are ripping here in Boston - pretty impressive. I have a Sensaphone 400 at our summer home in Yarmouth on the Cape and I can hear the winds blasting the windows down there. And we're on the south side of the cape on Nantucket Sound. Can't imagine what it sounds like in Yarmouthport to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 That death band is wild just offshore... looks like it won't even make it to ACK. Yeah, it looks like the low wobbled a little NE/E the last 45 minutes, you can see it on the radar too as instead of expanding west it's mainly SW. Worse there's a ton of subsidence over a lot of the Cape right now on the other side of it. The eastern part of ACK is getting ruined right now. The worst aside of the SE tip seems to be here. This is the riverview school in sandwich, west of the other images by about 5-10 miles and then Rte 6 as it approaches Sagamore Bridge. It's pretty wicked here.

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 So close to a storm of the century...i know nemo was awesome, wasnt in sne for it, but this is a rare triple phase beast. Too bad that the super band didnt quite make it to ACK. Would of loved to see them get 6" hr for a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Why is there a car on the road? The band made it to ACK. It looks like the low is wobbling north now so it'll make a run at the arm of the cape. Cars are on the road because for the most part this isn't that bad. It's windy, visibility is low but we're talking a few inches for most so far. I mean life does go on. It ended up a little further east than the wetter models advertised IMO and the intensity of that epic band is robbing moisture to the NW of it. Last best chance coming up the next 90 minutes. This image was taken a few minutes ago from Barnstable Harbor. The timestamps are messed up. You're seeing over 1/2, probably about 3/4 of a mile at the top of the frame without much difficulty and that is RIGHT on the north facing beach mid cape.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 For posterity: Great image. The more intense solutions had that little bend in the precip occurring about 25 miles further north which would have placed the heaviest band over ACK, and over the outercape (IE the extension of precip from almost Block to ACK if shifted north 20-40 miles). Looks like it wobbled/stalled for that brief moment as it congealed just a little further out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Incredible storm. Kind of tough to watch it be so close, but it is just amazing. Man 100 miles west and this would have been a historic storm for a lot of eastern areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it wobbled/stalled for that brief moment as it congealed just a little further out. Might be having radar hallucinations, but it looks to me like the pivot point is setting up south of ACK, and the northern arc of the band is bending back west a bit in the past couple frames. Granted, with the low continuing to bomb out and race NEward, it's hard to imagine there being much more of a westward push with the heaviest precip. As an aside, a very impressive band about to push ashore over Nova Scotia... http://weather.gc.ca/radar/index_e.html?id=XGO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAM was substantially overdone and too far west even at 6z. The 12z run is finally getting it right. Best banding isn't going to make it, it misses even the outer cape and we're left with the scraps/OE. It's impressive, I'm guessing maybe 2" here now will measure on my way out. But you can see even around Barnstable and Cotuit we're not really dealing with a ground blizzard here aside of in some bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donsutherland1 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Blizzard conditions have verified over parts of the Cape and Nantucket. Even as the most intense snow is remaining offshore, this is still very impressive for late March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 gif Really shows the dual bands. Radarscope shows some OE contribution now in the middle of the Cape as winds come more northerly. I thought the pic with the car was from Nantucket. It's bad out on Nantucket, most of the Cape... -- Look closely can see the striations now N to S in the Bay, OE kicking in. As a comparison most of the photos you see are coming from around Barnstable Harbor on this radar map. Returns correspond well to the images IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainePhotog Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Snow is literally on my doorstep at home, but looping radar showing it hitting a brick wall (my house is below the "A" in Bath). Per radar, no advance west or north of snow. Wife reports just some snow flurries. Winds are becoming impressive with gusts to 35 mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
