Baroclinic Zone Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Was unreal how pegged that CF was 1-2mi to my east. I'm just South of KTAN by 1/2mi and literally drive over to Poquoy Golf Course and it was raining. And seeing it clear as day on radar was cool. Had never seen a representation like that before.

I'm fine with using 5 min wind obs, but like you, I want consistency. It looks like the 5 min wind obs is also what eliminated ORH from blizzard criteria....because all these METARs (more than 3 consecutive hours worth) satisfied the criteria: KORH 041954Z 33018G33KT 1/4SM R11/1400V1600FT SN FZFG VV005 M04/M06 A2895 RMK AO2 PK WND 34037/1940 SLP816 P0007 T10391056 $ KORH 041907Z 35023G31KT 1/4SM R11/0800V1200FT SN FZFG VV004 M03/M05 A2899 RMK AO2 PK WND 35032/1855 P0003 T10331050 $ KORH 041854Z 35022G33KT 1/4SM R11/1200V1400FT SN FZFG VV006 M03/M05 A2900 RMK AO2 PK WND 34035/1821 PRESFR SLP832 P0003 T10331050 $ KORH 041847Z 35022G34KT 1/4SM R11/1200V2000FT SN FZFG VV007 M03/M05 A2901 RMK AO2 PK WND 34035/1821 PRESFR P0003 T10331050 $ KORH 041826Z 35022G35KT 1/4SM R11/2000V2600FT SN FZFG VV009 M03/M06 A2904 RMK AO2 PK WND 34035/1821 PRESFR P0003 T10331056 $ KORH 041754Z 36022G41KT 1/4SM R11/1200V2000FT SN FZFG VV006 M04/M06 A2908 RMK AO2 PK WND 01041/1747 SLP861 P0005 60023 T10391056 11039 21083 56065 $ KORH 041719Z 36024G39KT 1/4SM R11/1400V2000FT SN FZFG VV007 M04/M06 A2913 RMK AO2 PK WND 36039/1717 PRESFR P0001 T10391061 KORH 041654Z 36019G31KT 1/4SM R11/2000V2800FT SN FZFG VV007 M04/M07 A2918 RMK AO2 PK WND 35039/1609 SNB13 SLP894 P0006 T10441067 KORH 041650Z 01019G31KT 1/4SM R11/2000V2800FT SN FZFG VV007 M04/M07 A2918 RMK AO2 PK WND 35039/1609 SNB13 PRESFR P0006 KORH 041630Z 01019G31KT 1/4SM R11/1400V2000FT SN FZFG VV005 M05/M07 A2922 RMK AO2 PK WND 35039/1609 SNB13 P0004 T10501067 KORH 041618Z 01023G39KT M1/4SM R11/1000V1400FT SN FZFG VV004 M05/M07 A2924 RMK AO2 PK WND 35039/1609 SNB13 P0000 T10501072 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klw Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 We got another inch overnight to end with 4.5 inches. I guess it turns out that it is not just my winter and the lot of you are not just living in it. I am not crushed about it as the shoveling was bad enough this morning. It was like shoveling sand.

Greg Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Good morning everybody. One hell of a storm yeasterday. Sucks that something like this storm fell barely short of a true Blizzard based on wind sustainability but that is splitting hairs. Double digit snows in the heart of our viewing area (Boston and Surrounding Burbs), coastal flodding. I guess the only real thing missing was if the storm had traveled just a little slower. May have added 4-6" more but who the hell knows. Enjoy it, it's the only weather you've got! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 There is quite a bit of snow. The wind made this snow rather meaty as it takes effort to walk through it. More meatier than I anticipated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Want a laugh... Boston PNS Snowfall report has a 32.4" amount for Haverill, MA and Holliston. Stick slanting? Drift? Wipping the board every hour? No, it may be an error in which it they really have meant 12.4", that makes more sense. I think that's what they meant.

wxeyeNH Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Storm Summary Bridgewater NH (just south of Plymouth) Snow started around daybreak with temperatures in the mid teens. Very fine snow with poor snow growth. As the morning wore on snow slowly increased in intensity with fair snow growth. Temperatures slowly rose into the mid to high teens. There was very little wind for much of the day and by late morning we were having moderate snow with vis. from 1/4 to 3/4 miles. By mid-afternoon the heavy bands that were slowly pivoting towards us made it up here. From 2pm to 5pm we had our heaviest snow with over 1" per hour amounts. During the late afternoon we started getting some wind, in the 15-25mph range. As it became dark the snow let up. Around 6pm the wind came in suddenly. Major blowing and drifting occurred. Our peak wind was 37mph but I'm well protected from north winds so I'm sure areas around had higher gusts. Dendrite (Brian) 25 miles to my SSE had a couple gusts in the 40's I think. During the evening the snow began again with good snow growth and although radar didn't show much we had light to moderate snow with lots of blowing and drifting. I had measured 9" when it first shut off and I am guessing we added a couple of inches during the evening. This morning we have had continuous light snow, vis a couple of miles. Temps slowly fell last night back into the single numbers. The oddest thing to me with this "Bomb Cyclone" was lack of wind during the storm. Only after it moved north of my latitude did the strong winds come roaring in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
