That worked well for me in 24", might be tougher in 30+ though it's the best choice. Also had to do 24" with a snow scoop- 1st task was to shovel out a place to start dumping with the scoop. Could not make a run with the scoop like the usual, but merely take off a scoop-size bite and run it up the snowbank. Maybe 3" in Augusta. Almost half came 10-11 this morning as we caught the north edge of the megaband and had some real flakes. Then it returned to the teeny-tiny ones that reduce visibility equally but don't accumulate nearly as fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doughnut was showing up 4-5 days ago. 8" of fun here, I see NWS Box has a 15" spot for @HIPPYVALLEY area. Awesome stuff. I think that 15.5" total in Fitchburg is a little off. I'm at work right in the center of town and there's not 15" here. It doesn't even coincide with surrounding towns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I gave you crap yesterday about being on the northern fringe zone and being grumpy about it haha....can’t wait to get up there, hopefully tomorrow if I can skip out of work. I’ve had a few storms tickle 30” when I was in Methuen for 20 years, we can spread the love every so often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the easterly returns up there were there the entire time, but the deform band probably overwhelmed the returns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The instability must have been WAY higher than modeled/projected. Did anyone trend CAPE rates at the onset and transitioning to the height of the storm?
