KoalaBeer Posted February 2 Still having a lot of fun here in Hampton. Probably only got 8” roughly so far, but the conditions overall have been wild. Been borderline blizzard conditions for several hours now. Roads are getting buried with the wind just blowing any snow removed right back on. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LSC97wxnut Posted February 2 I dunno... My cheap Taylor thermometer has been stuck at 33 all night in Newtonville. It's been snowing like crazy, but just doesn't want to accumulate. Hard to really tell how much I have, but it's sticking to everything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheSnowman Posted February 2 I drove to North Smithfield, RI then to Past Gillette on Rte. 1. Everything is Soaked here in Attleboro. I’m trying to figure out: HOW, For a Storm that NEVER changed to even sheet, let alone Rain, Fought the Hellish R/S Line off.... STILL end up being the BIGGEST Underperformed of My Life?? It stated 100% Snow. And it looks like 3” fell in Northern RI. Crap wet globby snow too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 2 Just now, Typhoon Tip said: 12” S/ blowing S. 1/2 mi vis 29/29 Just curious, how do you sight your visibility at night? I have a power pole with a light on it almost exactly 1/4 mi from my house. So daytime I know when it is SN+ but at night if the light is becoming faint how do I call it? I'm not pressing for an answer just wondering what people do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fozz Posted February 2 20 minutes ago, TheSnowman said: Well, I WILL say this: The Storm broke 2 records for me. And I’ve been driving for 2 hours. WORST ROAD CONDITIONS I’VE EVER SEEN!! 6” on highways, 10” on on/off ramps!! Worse than 12/13/2007 Tied for Hardest Falling Snow I’ve ever seen!! (That yellow band over the Attleboro area an hour ago). Now I have NO idea what I got, I’ll have to go by the NWS guy that lives in my town that keeps stealing my reports for the NWS, and Fozz. But to see people get 4 Hours of 3” per hour, which I’ve only seen 4 times in my life, in a storm I got almost NOTHING in?? Hurts real bad. Real bad. Please don’t tell me Attleboro also got a foot or more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wxsniss Posted February 2 11 minutes ago, CoastalWx said: I think a bit more intensity there and also NE winds are removed from the water down there compared to near downtown. It’s different out your way because NE winds don’t have a direct water component. There was a clear longitudinal component to this. When it is cold just off the deck, it helps to be removed from the warmth of conduction that SSTs have on the air. This allows the air to wet bulb more efficiently. I had this happen back in the November 2018 event. We had light ESE winds that gave Boston no snow. Meanwhile I had 5.5”. ESE winds for me are off the land for awhile. Great explanation, thank you. Another way to look at it: the relative humidity of air right off the deck (downstream of whatever the wind direction) is slightly greater than deeper inland, and so more resistant to wet-bulbing. I happened to have family visiting this week... was so hoping they could experience "what is all the hype about" a classic New England snowstorm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ScottieBird Posted February 2 Cory, is Trump's pollster measuring your snow? I saw Lincoln, RI on the NBC PVD affiliate at 11pm and the town right next to you had a lot more than 3 inches. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thunderblizzard Posted February 2 Light snow grains continue under these low level echoes... not accumulating much more, likely still ending this in the 15 range. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't have been as invested if we weren't so razor close to a huge event, and if I wasn't hoping to impress visiting relatives lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SeanInWayland Posted February 2 Heard a really loud thump just now, the house shook, and the lights flickered for about 15-20 sec. Thought at first it was the plow guy dinging my garage, but no, it was the really large 60' pine tree across the street from me coming down across the road and extending into my driveway. What a mess. On the plus side, here at 300' elevation in Wayland, we likely have north of 14" and it's still coming down bonkers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
