This will end much earlier than I had anticipated. Hoping we get a little backfill on radar but we had every right to be highly skeptical of those forecast totals. Most models had big numbers though.

ryanjn Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I think KLWM did it. If you count gusts over 35mph as blizz criteria. 3 hours of gusts between 35 and 50mph and visibility less than a quarter mile. \m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Ive now missed a top 5 event for me 3 years in a row within 25-50 miles. Jan 15 was east, Jan 16 was south, today is west. Might as well go for the complete compass with this one and give PF a 30 burger so I can get the north miss bundled in. Yea, it's a bit of a bummer. not gonna lie. Threw 98% strikes for 8.2 innings (like 865 total runs of guidance) with a perfect game on the line with one out left against the .180 avg weak hitting catcher (nam)......and.......he rips a shot to deep left center into the upper deck, and effin ruined it. I still get the win, but no one will remember it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 This turned out to be a far bluer snow bomb then I thought it would honestly for folks in the interior... I guess I was too focused on the big picture and bringing the major players in the synoptics together/phasing and all that jazz and didn't pay much attention to the details... But, this snow is perfect snow-ball fight snow. It packs like on it's own it so spongy and I'm up here in NW Middlesex Co in interior N-central Mass... It's blowing off the roofs a bit when the wind really gusts, but it's definitely closer to 10:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Mahk was talking about 96 Blizz down in Philly, I was in the philly burbs and the past 3 hours with wind and snow have definitely matched that. The winds are pretty remarkable. That storm blows this away because of the duration which this wont have. yup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
