OSUmetstud Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 8 minutes ago, dendrite said: The definition is vague anyway...”frequent gusts”. I mean you had gusts over 30kt every hour, but here and there they would dip into the 20s. They should average the gusts over the hour (1min obs) and if it’s over 30kt say that hour qualifies. The vis can be cheap too. You can have 5 straight hours of 1/4SM except for one SPECI in the middle that is 1/2SM. Canadians go with 4 hours and sustained wind of 40km h(22 kts) so it's a bit harder.

mreaves Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 11 minutes ago, Hazey said: I'm surprised surge wasn't talked about here. I know everyone was preoccupied with the snow but this seemed primed for Boston Harbour. I fear that's what Halifax's waterfront is going to look like. Winds gusting to 72mph at the airport and that's well inland. I believe that the Sultan of Surge (Ginx) mentioned the possibilities but he got taken out by the flu and a burst pipe at the museum so his posts have been limited a bit.

Two houses from the water. She said the road out of there is closed. They should be ok, but ding dang...

TheSnowman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Not liking where I am for the rest of the storm. Substance coming in before the main band comes through to end it, BUT the band seems to be cutting off it's northern edge to the point where I won't get it when it comes here. I'm barely holding on to the bulb band over SE Mass. Rest of RI is screwed right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksingh0311 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Ok, after hibernating for several years this storm has made me come out of the woodwork and say "yowza". This has been the best one I saw (after January 2015 of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Over a foot. 12"+ here on the deck. but very windy. Depths from drifting range from a low point of 12" to as high as 20". I'm dead serious here. I have no choice but to call it over a foot (12"+) How do you measure such powdery snow. Little wind goes a long way. Don't know what I'll personally end up with but looking at the radar and future cast, I think mid tees in inches may not be out of the question.

MegaMike Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I'm pretty confident KPVD will verify a blizzard. Visibility has been less than 0.25 miles since 9:00am this morning with wind and or gusts consistently surpassing 35 mph. There were only 3 occasions (5 minute increment observations) in which the visibility reached 0.5 miles within this timeframe. Otherwise, snow rates are picking up again! I think 2-4 more inches is certainly possible for this area (Pawtucket/surrounding locations). I think that'll bring my total to ~15-18. We'll see!!!
