Yes I’d say so...at 11 inches here in central CT...and this has a few hours to go. I’d say KU for sure imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaMike Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 14 minutes ago, TauntonBlizzard2013 said: 20” in reach here? At about a foot. Looks like the pivot will be nearby I'm about at one foot, as well. Moderate to heavy snow accompanied by strong winds all day long so far (Pawtucket, RI). I'm surprised the Attleboro/Providence/Pawtucket area didn't dry slot, change to sleet, spontaneously combust, etc... I'm not used to this area performing well during winter storms. I'm glad I made the trip from CT to experience this! This is truly a memorable event for this area imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to radar it should be the lighter but if anything it is 1-2" per hour with the biggest flakes of the day. I think it's because I was looking at base reflectivity vs. composite. Composite doesn't show a dry slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROOSTA Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Can't imagine the destruction if it was slow moving. Probably a (wobble) slowing and move more Northerly in the Gulf of Maine as it max's out. Any station confirm Blizzard criteria yet? These are the days I miss good Ole Mass.

There could be some narrower intense bands later on as this thing swings NE of us....but I'm not sure it'sgoing to congeal into this monster thing. Banding is inherently hard to predict.

Sea ice thrown all into the road form the harbor. Noon news had pics like that from harborside in PWM, also at Marginal Way where I-295 runs between it and Back Bay. 8-11:30 AM had 3/4" of tiny flakes. Then it learned to snow, under that 30-35 dbz band, probably about 4" now and we're between bands. Winds are moderate, temp about 20. P'n'C upped to 12-18", from 9-15" at 7 AM. Seems high, but verifying would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIstoneworkguy Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Well, I was somewhat hoping for the infamous RI dry slot to keep totals down east of Mystic CT. up to at least Exeter considering my job is ahem... extraordinarily weather sensitive... However I did grow up in the U.P. so if it’s going to snow why not go big. It’s been interesting watching the global models this past week, I’ve learned a good few lessons with a unique system like this. I do have my “Yooper Scooper” handy here in Westerly; look that up folks and get one, it almost makes snow removal fun. Be safe, and thanks! Hard to measure how much snow is here ATM, I put my yhaad stick in and can’t find it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
