#NoPoles Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Before I go and melt in peace, anyone know what's going on at Blue Hill? If they stayed all snow, I should go take a few runs when everything calms down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 ORH verified blizzard criteria already as well. Both BOS and ORH are good locations for winds though in these storms. So it might not feel the same way in a protected residential area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan11295 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Looking at tide gauges, Nantucket had 3.25' surge at high tide. Boston Harbor is missing data right at high tide, but was at least 15.02' (3.05' surge). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not very sheltered at all and my deck is between 8'' and 24'' but the most level spot is at 12'' so that's what I'm going with. Figure we'll end up around 14-16'' I guess. 6-10'' for the absolute loss. Ray FTW here. He nailed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on the 14" and counting in Litchfield County. Yeah, seriously over performance here, I was worried the banding would set up just east and we'd suck exhaust, but we lucked out, I kinda rode the NAM 3k too, with hope!! Ratios lately have really come up, adding to the pile up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
