January 26-28 Blizzard Observations/Nowcast

[40/70 Benchmark]

I'm at 16-19 new depth. No official measurement. Just checking a handful of spots around the yard.

I'm about 14-18"

[jamesnichols89]

Pure whiteout here, very close to the dry slot.

[Tolland Death Band]

It won't..We're in the 2 inch per hour stuff which is fine..but that area is 4-5 per hour..It's pivoting a bit to our east for max amounts..We'll still do better than many..we are fortunate

Agreed...no complaints here. Freight train winds and 1/8 mi vis

If you ignored the QPF output, the upper level features always liked just inland from the coast up here. This forecast is working out exactly as planned there.

 

Dangling from the chairlifts up north though.

 

We are getting into that band thats oriented from NE to SW moving NW off the GOM

[mostman]

That marker is at 19 new depth.

[dryslot]

I didn't sleep much. Was up at 330 and was like wtf. Not even a flake. Heavy banding now

 

That is when i went to bed........  lol

[Dan]

Couple of pics.

 

First pic there is a 2 foot mound under the snow, so its not all snow...thats about 5 feet high.

 

Second pic, one of the cars, not sure how well it can be seen, almost the whole back of it has disappeared.

 

Ripping here now, have not gone out to measure yeah, but surely more than a foot, probably close to 15-18.

This is 2+ per hour now.

[40/70 Benchmark]

Will, i think ORH has a shot at Dec '92

[Tiktock]

OMG haha!  Plaistow, NH here....just north of Haverhill in southern Rockinham county, NH.

 

POURING snow right now.  Big drifts everywhere.

 

Under the band, oh lordy!  Loving this.

[J Paul Gordon]

Visibility down to my next store neighbor's house--500 ft?. can't tell how much is on the ground yet, but at least 18". Temp -11/13. Wind is roaring, my protected anemometer is useless in this. 

[Ginx snewx]

My 40 you called for was his.

Rgem FTW

New King? Save a horse ride a hot Canadian?

[Damage In Tolland]

I've loved the Rgem since last winter. I don't know who developed it or what they did to it..but that thing has been stellar the last 2 winters.

 

It's father the GGEM..should probably be put to rest

[Ginx snewx]

House shaking gust whiteout

[Angus]

01742 Concord, MA

 

took dog out at 6:45 with 14" down in sheltered area. Walk, shovel (Utah light stuff amazing)...45 minutes or so later...16" 

 

My snow stake which isn't clear had clear signs of drifting and was measuring 15-16" - started last nite at 5" from Saturday's storm.

 

local school weather station showing 14 degrees with gust of 28 and avg wind 7 NW

[JMPhysicsTeacher]

Just did a walk and measured the neighborhood. 18" avg. Dont think qpf verifies or not. One four ft drift...insane right now.

[JC-CT]

Good morning. Obs: blizzard.

Is this thing pulling east already?

it has been stellar especially in meso situatuons and icing

[ORH_wxman]

Will, i think ORH has a shot at Dec '92

 

I'd like to see the band stay for another 2-3 hours to really have a shot...but yeah, there's a chance. About 20" now. The record is actually APril 1997 at 33.0" whereas Dec 1992 was 32.1"....though I always believed from personal experience that Dec '92 was a bit more than '97.

 

Of course, the QPF is slightly less than Dec '92 and Apr '97.

Yes

[w1pf]

moderate snow here now, very fine flakes.. getting the leftovers from that Worcester band I guess..

 

 

[Baroclinic Zone]

Yeah, Euro not so hawt looking this AM.  She beer goggled us into banging her till the AM.  Bad idea.  Now I'm left with blue ballz wondering what might have been.  

[radarman]

Moderate snow but itty bitty sifted flour flakes. Measured 4.5 to 5.

[HoarfrostHubb]

BOX saying they tweaked their map? Still way to high for this area

[Damage In Tolland]

Ray..I think you're right

Hey guys, curious how CT made out. That band paid off here, 2 feet at least, still mod snow too

[HoarfrostHubb]

Damn at ORH. Impressive for sure

Ginx, how do you compare this to Feb '13?

[jamesnichols89]

I think they are low for my area, still got until Wednesday am before snow shuts down.
