It is a bit breezy! Job well done by the way on your forecast. Thanks, I could have done better...I'll go over the mistakes on the west end in the verification blog and learn from it.

Greg Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 7 minutes ago, BRSno said: Just saw that. Still low IMHO, but at least it looks like when it's all said and done BOS will probably be around 13"~. I measured 13" right now, so I still think it is low. You might get a few more inches when all is said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWolf Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 1 minute ago, Thunderblizzard said: How much are you at now? I was getting around 13.5 average a moment ago... light/moderate snow still. I averaged just under 14 inches. I figure we can pick up another inch easily. Great storm in my opinion...winds were and are pretty constant so that made it intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 An update from the lord of the City-State of Framinghung: just went out to roof rake a bit, for sport, and we've gotta be up and over 12". Possibly in 15" country. Am I gonna measure? Probably not. Are you gonna believe me anyhow? Baby, I'd never lie to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed high tide by a little bit but did see the wharf that J's Oyster is on have water over the roadway. Anyway, blizzard has verified at PWM.

#NoPoles Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Well... a little bit after 4 it turned to snow for good, and around 430 it finally dropped below freezing... Too little too late, I had 1inch of liquid by noon time...but this has been a pretty epic storm for a nice chunk of geographical area...thanks for being weenies!

It's amazing a ski area even existed in Springfield. I'd drive through that area and come across little to no snowcover, while areas to the north/south had substantially more.

klw Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Only 3.5 inches here so far. On the plus side it will be easier to shovel. Really tried to will that band this way but it looks like it stopped just short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone growing up just south of the border and driving to Springfield on an almost daily basis for school I encountered lots of times where it was raining/green south of the border and snowing there, but that was back in the 70s/80s. Then again, this is a discussion for another thread/time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Base towns on foot of these ski mountains don't get more than 10-20" of snow each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
