Ginx snewx Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 That was a big bust...forecasted 12-18" and we got like 6-7". Mostly from the front end wall of S+. There was kind of a wide zone on the south shore that got 18"+ from OES during that with a jackpot in south weymouth of aorund 2 feet...it was ripping there while it had almost stopped snowing over most of central and eastern MA. what was wrong with ORH , ASOS had .09 w/e PVD .05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 what was wrong with ORH , ASOS had .09 w/e PVD .05 Not sure, the ASOS has always had issues with snow...esp the ORH one. There were several storms back then where it would snow like 15" and the ASOS wouldbank like 0.4 of QPF or something...or even worse like that storm you just mentioned for Feb 16th.

Ginx snewx Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 what was wrong with ORH , ASOS had .09 w/e PVD .05 A rapidly intensifying low pressure system moved northeast from off the Virginia Capes passing southeast of Cape Cod. It brought still another in a long series of major snowstorms this winter season. Snowfall totals of 5 to 7 inches fell across the state: T.F. Green Airport in West Warwick, 7.0 inches; Tiverton, 6.6 inches; Clayville, 6 inches; downtown Providence, 5.5 inches; and North Foster, 5.2 inches.

A rapidly intensifying storm system moved northeast from off the Virginia Capes passing southeast of Cape Cod and brought still another in a long series of major snowstorms this winter season. Snowfall totals ranged from only 3 to 5 inches away from the coast in Essex County and the south portion of Worcester County to 7 to 9 inches in the Boston area. The maximum amount of snowfall was 14 inches reported from Ashburnham in the extreme northern portion of Worcester County. On Cape Cod there were totals of 5 to 10 inches and Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard had 5 to 7 inches. Other totals included: North Amherst, 12 inches; Worthington, 11.6 inches; Orange, 11 inches; Hyannis and Falmouth, 10 inches; Easton, 9.8 inches; Hingham, 9.3 inches; Manchester-by-the-Sea, 8.8 inches; New Bedford, 8 inches; Boston's Logan International Airport, 7.1 inches; Shrewsbury, 5.3 inches. This storm brought the total seasonal snowfall at Boston to 83.5 inches. Snow began and quickly became heavy Friday afternoon. Roads were quickly jammed with commuters that were slowed to a crawl trying to head home for the three-day holiday weekend. Road conditions soon became very poor by 4 PM. By 6 PM, Logan International Airport only had one runway open and numerous flights were delayed or cancelled. Gale force northeast to north winds caused 10 to 15 foot seas offshore and minor coastal flooding closed William T. Morrisey Boulevard just to the south of Boston at the time of high tide. In addition, tidal washover occurred on coastal roads in Scituate and other towns to the south o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backedgeapproaching Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Yeah it was about a week after the blizzard when it turned really warm in '96. The end of that warm week culminated in the epic cutter. One way to melt after an epic pack...high dews with temps 50-70F and 2-4" of rain, just awful. Cant remember if we had anything left after this down in PA, don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Heard a funny yet sad jingle on a radio station out of Killington/Rutland (97.1FM) today that was all about finding all the unemployed snowplow drivers out there this season and giving them a hug, wah wah. It was pretty funny but sad state of affairs for snow lovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 And count a wet December, it's not dry. That's my point. So a normal Dec is now wet? The drought has continued. Check the monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 And going into a Nina summer..it's going to be a very hot summer..Hopefully there's enough convection, but facing the prospects of big time heat this summer..we'd better hope the promised pattern turns wet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Biggest disappointment of this winter has been the lack of consistent storms, that has nothing to do with luck. Hopefully that script flips. You just missed out on a 2"+ QPF monster. **** happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Unfortunately it's not a drought continuation that was an issue. Sometimes it's **** luck. I hope we get into deep drought discussion during our climo driest time of the year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
