codfishsnowman Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 1 minute ago, HIPPYVALLEY said: What is your total there so far? Maybe five inches .... terrible snow growth almost all night except one late night burst which out down half of what we have I wish I could be more optimistic like Wiz and Ineedsnow but considering yet another missed opportunity ....it just blows. That thing is beautiful but its way offshore. We have to hope for some good banding just to get to the low end or just below the low end of what's forecast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metagraphica Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Best I can tell is 12” new in the area I cleared at 12:30am. That gives 19.8” total so far. Multiple measurements of 18” NEW depth in the big field. 24.5” total depth including the old pack.Power went out as I was typing this up on the computer. . 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxsniss Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Meso Discussion from a few hours ago: Mesoscale Discussion 0117 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0413 AM CST Mon Feb 23 2026 Areas affected...parts of the Northeast and southern New England Concerning...Blizzard Valid 231013Z - 231515Z SUMMARY...Very heavy snowfall rates of 2-3 inches per hour and widespread blizzard conditions should persist across Long Island and southern New England through 10 AM EST. DISCUSSION...Classic bomb cyclone/nor'easter off the Northeast coast will slow its deepening over the next few hours as it tracks northeastward off the southern New England coast through midday. As this occurs, multiple bands of very heavy snow from NJ to southeast MA should consolidate into one primary band across Long Island to eastern MA through mid-morning. Extremely enlarged low-level hodographs are indicative of the impressive warm conveyor north of the cyclone. In addition, very high KDP values detected within and somewhat below the dendritic growth zone amid base reflectivity values around 35 dBZ all point to highly prolific snowfall rates of 2-3 in/hr. From eastern Long Island through eastern MA, this appears likely to persist for several hours. Measured severe wind gusts should persist in this same region, supporting widespread blizzard conditions. The aforementioned slowing of cyclogenesis and northeastward track will eventually yield a more progressive tapering of very heavy snowfall rates from the southwest towards late morning. ..Grams.. 02/23/2026 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Mesoscale snow band starting to pivot as it becomes oriented more NE-SW across RI and SE MA. Impressive mid level frontogenesis producing 2-3 inches/hr snowfall rates. Expect these snowfall rates to continue within this band across RI and SE MA through the morning before rates start diminishing this afternoon. Given snowfall amounts of 10-17 inches in this area as of 12z, expecting total storm snowfall of 20-30 inches across RI and SE MA, and woudn`t be surprised to see a few reports exceeding 30 inches here. my call looking good. 20-30” over this area. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
