CoastalWx Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Just now, apm said: Good point about the offshore fetch, the easterly flow far off shore (I note PVC is NNE) must be sloshing the water into the harbor. Incredible that there wasn't a ripple in the water yesterday off Winthrop. Ekman spiral. Water will move to the right. So, N winds will help pile water onshore.

I saw Ryan tweeted an image earlier indicating it. Check ZDR (differential reflectivity). Normally around 0 for snow, but pure dendrites start pushing it back up towards 0.5-1 dB.

Hard to measure here in Eastie, but I just got back from outside and measured 9" at Orient Heights. 6.5" seems low, but Logan seems to always be lower than surrounding areas.

mattm4242 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I'd guess 8 or 9 inches in Gloucester, really hard to tell with the wind. Box had us for 5.5 at 11:50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connecticut Appleman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 It is just getting wild outside between the snow falling and wind blowing. This is quite awesome! (at least until tonight when I'm trying to snowblower in the crazy wind). Wind gusts are really starting to make down to the ground level whereas earlier, earlier you could hear it overhead, but it wasn't reaching the ground for the most part.
