The 4 Seasons Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 OKX did, I don't understand it, we are already in widespread warning criteria of 6"+ If this doesn't qualify a warning to still be up I don't know what does. I know we are only expecting another few inches but its still part of the overall storm which they had the area in for 8-12" Now they drop to advisory? Doesn't make all that much sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR Airglow Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 OKX is on crack, there's 3" per hour rates in that band heading right for SECT. No idea what they're thinking but it's a terrible decision, makes the public think that it's done and over and it's safe to go out again when a warning is cancelled when in fact the worst is inbound just in time for the evening commute.

bmj16725 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 1/8" visibility right now in this band - rip city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR Airglow Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 And an average of 12" ish from my measurements but hard to know for sure as facilities has unfortunately been doing a very good job of keeping paved surfaces clear and finally found the spot I was using this morning. I found one spot that looked untouched but it seemed low relative to the area, so I took an average of measurements on the snowpack going down to where I hit the crust from Saturday but that's totally unreliable and as a result it doesn't go to NWS.

Terrible decision I agree. Has it become standard practice to issue a warning then when we reach criteria drop it to an advisory for the rest of the event? I've seen this happen more than once. This is an extremely dangerous situation and its about to be evening "rush" with 3"/hr rates smh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I submitted 10.5" in Hubbardston. wonder where in Westminster they are getting those numbers Crooked rulers?

Zeus Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 This is some of the heaviest snow I've seen in some time. Barely able to see up the street from my apartment. This band is welcome to stay as long as it likes. My neighbor began trying to shovel at 1, and has flipped the bird to the plows that just blocked some of her efforts. What a day to be alive.

msg112469 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Buried in Reading, MA! Very heavy snow and wind! Blizzard conditions for sure. Around 14-15 inches. Will absolutely push 20" by this evening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HullMA Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Over a foot here in Hingham and pouring snow. I personally have found the visibility to be overall worse today than during the blizzard. The snow banks and piles are purely epic. I was just at derby street and then headed back to hull. Along the beach in the open area visibility was literally non existent. My girlfriend had a panic attack due to the conditions. I really think this storm was under-forecasted. Conditions are insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Windcredible! Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I swear...there's a lot of heavy drinking going on at Upton this year. Why the hell do you downgrade a warning to advisory when parts of your area are pounding at 2-3"/hr where a warning has already verified? I normally don't criticize the NWS...but they've been off their rocker this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
