CT Rain Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I barely have 4". An 8-9" storm is a complete disaster. its over. Even if I don't break double digits (may not) the wind has been amazing. I'm impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomNH Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I barely have 4". An 8-9" storm is a complete disaster. its over. I don't have the greatest feeling here either, but I'm not going to pull a snowNH and melt down. It's early yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40/70 Benchmark Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Temp is dropping back again here near Boston. Down to 30F. Ugh. I think my 15-25" call is going to bust....just hope to hit 1', at this point. Wouldn't be the HECS I was sure I was getting, but.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Windcredible! Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 So, will the 12-18 verify? Can't see it happening here. If it does...it's gonna be the low end if the range me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUmetstud Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 There's a nice band just moiving into there now..you must be getting pounded...or just about to be. Yeah it's pretty nice over here...I feel pretty good about our location for this storm...should do well. The fact that Bob had some pingers and rain mixed in also suggests a CF feature to our near west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cja1987 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Why do you keep mentioning these areas having problems with snow growth as we've had many posters from E MA and RI reporting great dendrites? I'm getting great dendrites in Randolph. Flirting with freezing and its not the confection sugar we had earlier but we have been accumulating over the past few hrs as well as we have been all day. Should easily break 12" here if we have not already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Watching the snow in the light in front of my garage and we have this amazing mix of flakes. Maybe 30% tiny flakes and 60% beautiful dendrites with big fat nickel sized flakes mixed in. I'm confident we're going over a foot here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKpowdah Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 About 3", maybe 3.5". Snow growth still really struggling. 30/70 mix of dendrites and snow grains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HinghamBoss Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 The conditions here in Cambridge have been near whiteout for several hours now...need to go outside and measure. It is snowing to beat the band. Curious to hear what other people in Boston metro area have for totals/codnitions so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 If this keeps up overnight, ENY is going to be the jackpot, lol... It was slow to get going but boy is it snowing hard out there. Pure powdery dendrite heaven right now. Columbia County, NY down to POU is getting destroyed with good snow on either side of that band. Compare radar image with SUNY MM5 from 12z today...

radarman Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 An 8-9" storm is a complete disaster. its over. 2.5" in Noho and not snowing. Classic snowhole in the radar.

ski MRG Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Getting crushed right now in eastern NY... confectioner sugar, beautiful dendrites at 15F. This stuff is starting to blow around and I suspect as winds continue to ramp up, we'll see some serious powder drifting. +SN 15F 19/16, +SN, really quite a pounding from the Hudson River to the East Slope of the Berks. Was it the RUC that was showing this zone as a big hit earlier? Spoke to my Mom in Columbia County,NY she says near whiteout there. Just got in from a quick ski tour and visibility is often dropping to whiteout here. I was wearing my headlamp and could barely see my trail in. Some big totals are going to come in from the HV/Berks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomNH Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 You are in the slot that I was hopeful of getting into.....congrats. We're going to need to pull almost 1''/hr over the next 8 or so hours if we are to get a foot. I don't know at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I don't have the greatest feeling here either, but I'm not going to pull a snowNH and melt down. It's early yet. agreed... about 5" here... but I have a feeling we'll get another 10" between now and midday to put us above a foot. it's only been snowing for 5 hours, another 12-14 hours of snow to go.

Haven't really measured, but I tried to take the dog out for a walk and had to turn around quickly - it was almost impossible to see.

40/70 Benchmark Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 We see it time and time again, the best place to be almost always ends up being what is modeled to be just on the outisde looking in; to the east of that, it's a good storm, but more banded in nature.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I'm getting great dendrites in Randolph. Flirting with freezing and its not the confection sugar we had earlier but we have been accumulating over the past few hrs as well as we have been all day. Should easily break 12" here if we have not already. You're in the jackpot zone. Randolph back to the tip of west bridgewater, easton raynham and then looping up and around. FWIW for all of you it's a sloppy mix of rain sleet and snow here 33.6 and I am RIGHT on the water. So if that's the case here the warm air is not making it far inland at the surface and the moment heights collapse this goes back to snow. Someone is going to get crushed in that zone maybe up to cape ann crossing boston, maybe over or near Ray. There's another 6-12 to come out of this developing band. Was on cell earlier, broken englais. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
