CoastalWx 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. Good for them...they always get the shaft....especially over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 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 I feel if we measured the way we do now in 1978 what Harv and Don Kent showed as a 40-50" storm there would be 5' or more. You were there, you know what I'm talking about as we got pounded hour after hour with ocean banding. #1 we didnt have power off and on for a lot of the storm so people weren't running around to measure, and #2 for the most part we just measured randomly at the end of the storm...OTG. I remember our entire street- the mailboxes were completely covered end to end. Cars were not even humps in the snow, they were just gone. I remember we had to dig to even find the cars, it was like being on the moon. I know we measure the right/technical way now, but particularly back then most just measured what had recently falled/was OTG. I'm talking mailboxes shoveled out etc, not snowbanks. The 1978/1888 storms are one type where they last, the 4/1/97, this one, the true snow bombs I think are actually a little more fun. For us coastal people on the warm side of the front it makes a difference. Particularly painful because that 10-15 mile north jog the storm took before rotating e then NE...screwed all of SE MA to an extent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnold214 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 My wife reports 5 inches of snow in the last hour and 45 min at our place in gray. They are getting smoked up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 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. This stuff was just as dense as the Boxing Day Snowstorm. Finally achieved +SN!

HIPPYVALLEY Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 SN - Think we're done accumulating here. 14"+ based on three measurements since 6am. Has settled to between 12 - 13" 18" since friday night - not a bad week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 My wife reports 5 inches of snow in the last hour and 45 min at our place in gray. They are getting smoked up there. I'm going to somehow manage 20" from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baroclinic Zone Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 It was really ripping between 1 and 6 am. Thats where i got most of my snow...as well as 3 thundersnow occurrences. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't 1/4m vis stuff here. I only got down to 1/2m a couple times in that span. The lower levels I think were just a hair too warm. I was also at 32-34F overnight.

Baroclinic Zone 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. Unless I get no more snow for the season, my call for my back yard will bust. I think I am right at my call for the season.

Cold Miser Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 my guess is BDL Puts down 30 for this storm. I'm hoping for 30 here. Not sure we'll make it. Just about 5" to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one had over 40" in that storm by those standards. don't buy it.. weenies have more coverage these days. if i was alive back in 78' i would have made my way to either diamond hill or burriville or such and such and gotten a measurement from N RI i believe they were surely over 40" there but probably no body sent in a official report. messenger may know. BTW i'm impressed with the "back lash" here its snowing at a good clip here still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaineJayhawk Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Any word from Pete MRG lately? They should be crushed, a mere nusiance 20" or so for him... Pete checked in a number of hours ago and reported 17.5" at the time. He'll probably finish in the upper 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
