Dan Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Going to say Newburyport looks like its getting hammered. I think 6-8" will do it here...a far cry from the NWS forecast of 13-19", but I would call this a bust at least around here. Going out to measure shortly.

Dan Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Looks like the back edge of the "heavier" snow is moving east pretty quickly, should be out it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajisai Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Only way I'm getting to even 10" is if we get 2"/hr rates here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pleased with my 6-8" call for here. MPM elevation might have bought him 2" more than me due to fluff factor. I wish his wife would post a report.

That band appears to be siding bye bye Well i think some called posters out for saying this would bust low about 12x, like Ray said it's difficult to convey disappointment without getting shellacking in here, *even when there is justification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do it again tomorrow if I had the choice. We got 1/16th vis and a death band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeonPeon Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Looks like I get one last thump from this band on the way out. Wind has diminished just slightly and a little more sunlight now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkO Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 7", 5 of which fell in the past 2 hrs. Won't make it to 10 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Had about 2.5" at home at 1:45, probably about 3" now. Augusta had 4" of fluff when I headed north about 12:30. Unless there's some backbuilding, we're more likely to be advisory than warning level. Still a win, as 3 days back this was wide right. (And GFS still has about 36 hr snowfall Sun-Mon for 20"+. Won't happen that way, but something nice looks likely.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the models pretty much showed that the past 18hrs though. Also I wonder what the ratios really are because sometimes when the flakes are small like this they settle despite having low water content. Between 5-6in here in my part of town, I'm hoping we can squeeze another 2-3 out by the end of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems someone could paint an AWT onto quite the broad range of outcomes if that is the case. Just to be clear i'm just pointing this out, I enjoyed the last 2 hrs of this storm where i got 6" in 2hrs. It was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiktock Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hoping to squeeze out 7-8" total just north of Haverill. We'll bust at least half a foot less than expected from what I can tell but not much one can do about it when it really didnt start snowing till 2 and its appearing to clear up by 5-6pm. Sat between bands all day except a 1.5 hour period when all the snow fell. Now the nicest band of the day is quickly zipping offshore. Looking forward to the cleanout then focusing on next storm for the weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
