SouthCoastMA Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 This looks much worse than Jan 22 here, despite my complaining about being just east of the 3ft band. Gotta be at least 20"..drifts are gigantic. Unfortunately I can't measure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Any reports of coastal damage etc. I did see wind damage to power poles on ACK and random tree stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 @The 4 Seasons going with 21" for my spot at Lava Lake (59.5" for the season so far, and above climo). Best I could do, combining what I saw at 8am combined with some of the totals I see noted in the public info statement. Oh, and that 36mph high wind recorded at Danielson Airport (which is less than 5 miles away)... there's no way that I didn't get gusts off the lake of at least 45-50mph. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Plymouth and Taunton not on list of locations where Blizzard criteria met. Guaranteed both those locations met but the stations crapped out on the reporting data. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And does a 6 year old explain fully in detail the explanation of everything being thrown at them? You simply can’t handle negativity, even if it’s in text form; everything must be happy and positive. That’s an actual 6 year old, or being Woke. And I’m on an “Illegal” Weenie Run, finding out I was CORRECT in my assessment of these snowfall amounts. Doing 6 towns tonight and 6+ more tomorrow. Will show the results later. have you ever posted anything in which you were happy and/or satisfied? because this bitching version of you...sucks. please stop bitching, this is not your personal facebook page 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was it that drove around the cape a bunch of years ago to "debunk" the high totals? I think they were totals from Phil, and maybe it was Messenger(RIP) who took the ride. He pretty much just drove along route 6 and got out of the car every few miles and took a spot measure off the shoulder. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 It was easier to meet criteria before ASOS because human observers had no problem reporting 0sm, 1/16sm, and 1/8sm. ASOS rarely reports M1/4sm and there’s the 5 min obs and SPECIs that catch brief lulls down to 1/2sm. Wind is difficult too, but allowing frequent gusts over 30kt helps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 2 minutes ago, Baroclinic Zone said: Want to say it was the anemometer That’s rare now too because they have heated ultrasonics. I believe the old cup ones were heated as well. But there were some cases of bad readings yesterday where the snow and wind was so heavy it was probably trying to cake up on the transducers faster than it could melt.

Cold Miser Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Some photos from last night. Adirondack chairs, still uncomfortable, and useless. Note the deck and the lack of snow. Wind just came off the lake and probably blew it all to Providence. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Winds were easily 50mph at TAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 My snow was only wet for a few hours and then when the real heavy stuff came it was below 32. I actually think it helped make it accumulate more. Areas to my south were getting 3”/hr near 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was Clinch Leatherwood, aka Messenger and some other names doing checks of Phil’s reports. Pretty assholeish, god rest his soul. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
