ROOSTA Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Nobody's mentioned downstream accumulations... Long Island 2'+ and still snowing. 30-34 burgers for SEMA seem likely. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariof Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Report from Mass Pike from 05Z-08Z last night: Snow began around ALB, west of there was clear sailing (a bit of -SN near BUF which dried out as the storm wrapped in dry air out there). Heavy band over the Berkshires, probably some upsloping. Lots of trucks pulling off at Blandford, and we went down the hill on our own. Picked up series of plows east of there, could make about 45 mph when we didn't have plows and the plows went 15 mph, but were helpful. Varying intensity of -SN to +SN, some drifting but not actually too bad. Accumulation got much lighter around 128, last 10 miles into Boston were fine. If Avis hadn't had a miles-long line in CLE (Hertz saved us, eventually) we would have been nearly an hour ahead of things and probably that would have cascaded to hitting snow further east and having an easier time. But still we beat the worst of the weather, friends made it to Maine. I don't think the Pike east of ORH would be reasonable now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metagraphica Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 One good thing about these high wind events is you don't have to clean off the car. It's underrated how much having to clean off the car adds to cleaning up the driveway, especially in the area of the car and if you have multiple cars next to each otherWut?? 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 4 minutes ago, WxWatcher007 said: What do you think of hi res like the HRRR trying to eject a band west back this way later in the morning/afternoon? Seems precarious to me. Looks like it tries to throw it back a couple hours once the E MA forcing wanes. I’d probably hope the NW CT band pivots and comes east with time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomNH Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 This might rival Boxing Day for the biggest ASH area boning in the modern era. Only difference is we were never progged for super high end totals in this one. Just got a nice gust probably >40 mph at least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan63 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Can't even measure with the wind, it is absolutely ripping. By time I finished first round of the driveway I already had 3-4" starting to pile up. This is a weenies dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This storm will be forgotten by Wednesday. Not even top 100 for me. Congrats again to those receiving their ‘78 storm. I’ll never get to experience one of those.

wx_observer Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 A bit short on the 35 mph sustained winds, but Worcester Airport is reporting visibility of .25 miles for 6 consecutive hours. I'm not far from there, and we've had consistent, moderate snow here. Not sure where the freezing fog is coming from. Maybe snow covered sensors?

HRRR says NADA for me. Globals still say some. When would you say the furthest NW the sheild will get in our area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASOS/AWOS always reports FG/FZFG when the vis is 1/2sm or less. But the precip indentification sensor is definitely caked up with snow hence why ptype obs disappeared. But the vis tells you what the intensity is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
