Sea ice thrown all into the road form the harbor. Remember when BOX told coastal infrastructure to prepare for serious flooding? Great enhancement of wording on their part. 22 minutes ago, apm said: I wonder why the water is so high in Boston with the wind from due North? I could see Cape Cod Bay for sure being high. Perhaps it is (low) pressure related? Yep Ekman Spiral FTW. Think of it like Coriolis for water. Water piles up to the right of wind direction. So north wind throws surge towards the New England coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahk_webstah Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 lighter here the last 30 mins. I hope we pick up again. don't know if it is the normal on and off of banding or if there is exhaust from the intensifying bank just west of KCON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbutts Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I think about 7-8" but I haven't ventured enough far enough from the door to take a good set of measurements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great banding and possibly better ratios? You guys will win, but we did great. Roughly a foot here in Queens, verified blizzard despite a lack of a warning.

weathafella Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I have to get out and measure again. Crazy snow rates and snow seems pretty deep. Will do it in the next few minutes and I’m guessing 9-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the pictures, I'm really worried about all the underground infrastructure in or around the Seaport. There are numerous underground parking garages there, for example, not to mention the T stops. The one under the Seaport hotel has me particularly worried (but there's no shortage of others). Also, just wondering what it would take to get water into the harbor tunnels--I'm guessing that's better protected than those parking garages, but I don't really know.

Baroclinic Zone Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 This is unreal. It's been +SN for hours. Cleaned by driveway and ended up helping neighbor who works for postal service. He got stuck out front in a snow bank. Was up to his windows in his CR-V. 14"+ now and still dumping.
