Scarlet Pimpernel Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 And that's what it feels like, Boston's the bit$# that stole my man. That's ok, some snow will make it feel better Nothing like a little make up snow. Or a lot, hopefully, in this case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Yeah, especially if they're congratulating us and hoping we get slammed! Meh, I guess it's boring for them in their forum, what with nearly 80" in the past 3 weeks (I think that's pretty close to what they got since the last part of January, seriously)! Boston itself has had 90" lol .. That's gotta be about the most anywhere outside the mtns or lake belts in such a short stretch on record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's gotta be about the most anywhere outside the mtns or lake belts in such a short stretch on record. Most I've seen in an area that I lived in...and I wasn't even there at the time!...was in northeast Ohio in November 1996. It was all a lake effect event. KCLE and areas east/south of town in the main snow belt got 20-60" (depending on location) in a 5 day period. I think I've still got the news article my parents sent to me from back then (I was in Atlanta at the time, grad school at Ga Tech). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow night I hope to be going outside often, taking measurements and photos. Hopefully the ol' Rebel T2i will hang tough and survive the conditions again!

I was explaining the series of storms to someone not into the weather, and he was completely amazed: 2 ft blizzard, 1.5 ft storm one week later, 2 ft storm one week later, 1-1.5 ft storm one week later, with smaller snowfalls interspersed.

It was interesting and sort of on par with our snowmageddon period for the first 10 days but since then it just kept coming. Really incredible.. people will study it for a long time, especially if they manage to pile on more. Shoot, they're even pushing a lot of lake belt areas at this point.. they could in theory top 100" in a 30 day stretch I guess with this storm though haven't looked that closely.

The new Ukie shafts them, it does not look like they can get 10" out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 0.6 with an air temp of 15 will be quite a dump. Yes, you might have things freezing off if you don't pull your pants up quick enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 .3 northern md .5 balt .6 DC .7 Fredericksburg eta: those are all "close" since it rounds.. .3 actually goes into s PA a bit in spots. Nice. Thanks, Ian. 0.6 with an air temp of 15 will be quite a dump. Tomorrow night, for the sake of the board, can you just throw all of us in the pink warning?

ravensrule Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I think those of us north of the Balt beltway can get a good night sleep tomorrow night. Congrats DC metro and VA Oh lord, is 5-6" not ok for you?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Me too. I bet dollars to donuts we measure between 5-7" on Tuesday morning. That is a great storm and with temps that cold it is even sweeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozz Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Oh lord, is 5-6" not ok for you?.It would be a nice event but probably not worth an all nighter for me.

As I said earlier, not too long ago we were looking at zip to a very light amount. Last night's runs turned that around quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm also feeling good about the mid-long range, hope to score another WSW event or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
