Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I had 3" in the last hour and I'm up to 17.2". This may push March 2001 for me and eclipse Dec 97 and PD2. What was your forecast up there from the media etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKpowdah Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Measured a number of times between 13.5" and 16.5" I just need an inch or two more to be confident about beating Feb 2007, but things are really starting to lighten up I'm on the edge of the downsloping toward the CT river valley. Monadnocks are getting buried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That firehouse depicted on some of the 850-500 maps really hit that well iirc. That's why people with a qpf fetish need to relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonWX Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Light snow in Milton, MA. Major concern is tree damage due to cement that fell earlier. I haven't measured but we probably have 7 or 8". 7 or 8 I've measured anywhere between 14-17 inches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Look what is building east of us and moving down. We will be under this for many more hours. I really think you and I will end up with 16-22. Yeah, We will prob be in the 15-16" range or so.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauss06 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 yes i used to envy those areas when i grew up in raynham.....and i grew up in raynham about a mile from the easton line.....so it could have been worse. but the areas 3 miles to the NNW of me and NW and even WNW even consisently did a good 20% better with totals on alot of coastals. it seems they were either on the other side of the CF for a good deal of time.....or they were on the other side of the R/S line. the weather In N and NW easton is so much nicer for winter weather lovers then it is for people in Raynham (esp the se side of town) and taunton as well. i would guess there is a annual 10 inch snow difference from the SE side of raynham to the NW 1/2 of easton. OT ....the town of palmer, and adjacent areas in mass....... ENE of springfield has been getting buried for the last couple hours in the best of that rotting deform band. nice local lollie there. I just spoke with one of my suppliers from Palmer about 1130am. He said they had about 18" (his guess) and they were getting dumped on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I can't shake that subsidence, FU sliver. I've been in it for an hour or more. Blows but from my bedroom when I went up to shower I note DEEP snow. Didn't realize it was that much. Bet we measure close to 18 or so at BOS.

HoarfrostHubb Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 that's him...his dad I think continued calling in reports for years. Whenever I'd see a report from Easton/South easton I knew it was good because it was him or his dad. No slant sticking, by the book. Brockton does well too particularly up towards Goddard/Cardinal Cushing as it ties back into easton. West of there like you said in the triangle that forms easton/foxboro/sharon....the difference in climate between there and say KTAN is astounding. It's really the dividing line a lot of times between the marine layer and the colder airmass. Did you live in Brockton when that downburst wrecked both Easton and Brockton in May 96? I grew up in Foxboro and my brother still lives there. In 78 we were destroyed and for a while it seemed we got nailed pretty good. I will call him later to see how they do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organizing Low Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 do you think its CTS biggest snow storm ever in terms of area of the state that saw 20"+ pretty much the whole state except for extreme SW who saw 10-15" " lol thats exactly what i said last night when the snow was covering the entire state at 2+ in/hr some guy from CT said he had seen it many times before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, I was at a track meet in Taunton. It was canceled when the gust front blew through at 50mph. I was extremely pissed to miss it. I just remember looking north and seeing how incredible scary the sky looked. You could actually see some of the cloud structure of the cb, and I knew it was bad.

NEK_VT_Upslope_Event Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 7 or 8 I've measured anywhere between 14-17 inches! It was just a visual measurement. I'd be shocked though if there's more than a foot! Perhaps I've always discounted my NNE totals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Quick OT question....which do you guys prefer in terms of accuracy, NWS Composite radar or WeatherTAP? Also, RT 3 by Hingham area looks to be getting smoked right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 16.5ish is the most common measurement here right now We may squeeze out more if we can get into those parting bands. BOS 11.6 as of 1PM. Probably finish just a tick above 12. Looks like 1 or maybe 2 more bands. Perhaps a max of 1-3 and that's it.

leesun Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Pretty much right on spot. Aint done yet either. I could see another 1-3 before it's done. 22.5 BDL!!! RECORD!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 For us coastal people on the warm side of the front it makes a difference. I think it worked out overall for you. I think you can crack 12". The big qpf max happened near and just south of BOS, but I think some of it may have been a mix, or just water logged flakes. That snowpack ain't going to go anywhere fast.

Yeah so somewhere btwn 14-17 here + 1-3 will put us near a 15-20 inch range. Nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 So BOS is officially above 37 inches for the season with this event not quite done. And before 1/15. This winter rocks. Some knew in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold214 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 This current band is the best snow I've seen all storm. It was really ripping between 1 and 6 am. Thats where i got most of my snow...as well as 3 thundersnow occurrences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
