3 feet of cement is wild. When we hit that in 15 it was powder.

RI State of Emergency extended for another 24 hours (at least).

Not out of the question... just imagine if we had not been screwed 2 times after the Jan 25-26 event???

was just thinking that, we'd be probably close to 100" region wide, and honestly this storm and that norlun last week left some on the table, but nonetheless, still close to climo, I'd give this winter an A right now for that and the temps, think I had one day over 45 since early November! that's nuts

It’s like cement. Snowblower really struggling 

Only the first 3" here was semi paste. All powder after that.

Is TBlizz ever allowed to complain again?

I have to say, in all my years on the forum I’ve seen him get the biggest storms out of anyone.

I remember a photo of him snowblowing across his yard with the snow up to his shoulders, forget which event that was.

Arborvitaes in the backyard.  The top 2 feet of snow is actually quite dry and just the initial layer is medium wetness. Haven't heard a plow since 5am, kinda peaceful just to enjoy it!

Arbors hate it, And those look like green giants

Just curious, what was wrong with their measurements of the past? Too high, too low?

It was always too low. I'd be measuring diligently, "Oh, 11.2 storm total, nice!"

Four hours later...BDR, eh 7.0" sure.

There might be a difference at times with their location, but I could drive down and stick a ruler in for 10" after such a report came in. It got to be comical at times and felt like they did it well after all was said and done. And who knows where they were measuring at other times...

Some pretty heavy snow here from that one.   Should add at least an inch or 2.

Is the V5 experimental going to overtake the current version 4.3? I noticed its significantly lower in the snowfall mean than the operational in almost every event.

At some point this year I would imagine, the evaluation period ended 12/1.

Plan is in spring I believe. I’ll have to double check, but I know it’ll be around prior to tropical season, so this is the last  winter for V4.3. Next winter will be V5.0 or V5.1, so I’m looking forward to that on the desk. Definitely performing better than the current NBM operational. We see it in a lot of the verification.

I asked him today and he ignored my question/ post 

[weathafella]

BOS should be over 60 to date when this one is over given the roughly 56 ish at 1pm.

The snow is powdery but clumps together like wet snow.  It’s epic here.  I estimate 30 in.  
still some light snow.  Temp up to 28.2 from 26.4 a couple hours earlier.

 

[Snugharbor]

Being a lifelong RI resident, I believe the 30'+ reports down here, and this easily the biggest storm I've ever experienced living on the coast over the last 20 years, as opposed to northern RI where I grew up.

This was bigger in every way than 2013 but that was a worse experience locally for us because it pasted all over, took down our flagpole, then a 5 day power outtage on top. This dropped more snow but was colder -- and we havent lost power yet. State as a whole also had a lot more outtages in 2013 despite getting a load more snow here.

Either way an all-timer I never thought I'd ever see here along the water, much less enjoy.

Full fledged nudity...what I would give to see a 30"+ event.

[Baroclinic Zone]

This storm beats all that I’ve experienced. This’ll be my 1st 30” event. 2005 and 1997 would be in there and 2015.

[Chrisrotary12]

My 5” of snow up here can only be described as powdered sugar. 

[Baroclinic Zone]

I wouldn’t describe the snow as heavy here. I’d call it dense more than anything.

[Lava Rock]

A paultry 2". Congrats on the big winners

19.5" here on the Deep River/Chester, CT line.  Plus, another inch of ice in my Irish whiskey.  So, over 20" total for this storm.

Some of the best snowgrowth too with that last band, maybe because winds have subsided

Let's see if remnant fronto can congeal to give us another moderate+ band

20z HRRR has snow falling until 8-9pm

Brookline schools closed Tuesday

[Fozz]

Not exactly a blockbuster here, but it was a legit blizzard and hard to measure.

With measurements ranging from 10.5” to 13.5”, I’m calling it 12”. With the overall pack near 2’, I can’t complain too much.

Somehow ended up with 8" just east fo you here. Stuff was dense, compared to the big one last month. Much harder to push around with the tractor  

[moneypitmike]

Any update on the PVD total?

[Baroclinic Zone]

It just won’t quit snowing.
