RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I guess my total of 10.5” seems low, surrounding areas came in higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was from early in the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a great combination of snowy climate, cool in the summer, easy to get to Boston from, but most importantly, the scenery just never gets old. I think at the end that’s probably the thing that mattered the most in moving here - it’s just a beautiful place... with lots of snow. If you don't mind me asking why is snow retention a problem up there? downsloping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 4 Seasons Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Snowfall totals for CT. A general 8-14" fell across the state with a few towns lower/higher. Only accumulation map i did for verif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess it's "poor" for retention only as related to total snowfall. I've had less than half the snowfall but would guess that my current 20" depth isn't much less than his. But my CAD-king location is very good for retention. As with JSpin, high ratios (thus settling/sublimation has greater effect) may be one part of the reason.

OceanStWx Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 OPC did a quick review of the bomb cyclone event, and found a phenomenon called dynamic fetch led to the 50+ waves observed during the storm. We know that fetch is the distance winds can travel over water. Dynamic fetch is when the wind max follows the wind direction, parallels the storm, AND moves at roughly the same speed as the wave period. Essentially it creates waves on top of the waves it already created. This is more or less what happened with the sting jet, moving along around 30 knots forward speed with ~18 second wave periods. What tends to happen is these waves then arrive as a wave front, increasing rapidly over a short period of time. At 44137 seas jumped from 28 feet to 56 feet in 6 hours!

Baroclinic Zone Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 Can anyone find/post the radar loop from start to finish for this? Would love to see a representation of the CF pegged just to my E for the 1st 1/2 of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It rained for a good 3 hrs longer 1-2mi to my E. I posted during the storm about this. Never have I seen a gradient like this anywhere around here. It puked snow here and never tainted.
