Ian Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 There some nice photo opportunities around here for you. i've been reading the thread all day and checking the local news plus getting some photos from my g/f mom in ct. at least we got over 1"! http://www.flickr.com/photos/ianlivingston/5347800711/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Harvey just said the 20 inches in Worcester County came with only a little over 1 inch water. It was very high ratio snow. 20:1 sounds good to me... Kids loved playing, sledding, boarding in it. Hard to snowblow because of the wind, but not the depth.

PineHillsWx Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Harvey just said the 20 inches in Worcester County came with only a little over 1 inch water. I believe it, ~17 inches in Pepperell but it was pure powder, easy clean up considering how much snow fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKpowdah Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Decent dendrites coming down right now! Hoping some of the stuff over central-southern VT can drift into SW NH this evening.

Hambone Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 any totals out of N. rhode island burriville.....they prob got 2' I'm closer to Burriville than Worcester and we popped 20" and it's still accumulating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Did this storm reach Blizzard Criteria anywhere? Bruschi can chime in but his 80% rain, 20% snow mix probably didn't cut it. The Cape certainly didn't make the criteria for anything aside of bone job I think...most of it, I doubt PYM county did either. I thought Hull got 28.3" in the Blizzard of 1978. Of course I guess nobody could tell based on the excessive drifting and coastal damage that took place. Yep, but the ratios were wicked. Do you remember the videos it looked like soup in the streets. Great site... http://www.hampton.lib.nh.us/hampton/history/storms/78sad.htm Hampton beach got ruined too but we don't talk much about it.

snowfan789 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Any reports from the Berkshires? I used to live in Williamstown and am thinking that corridor may have taken the grand prize for the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Harvey just said the 20 inches in Worcester County came with only a little over 1 inch water. In reality for all the yapping this morning about how the other models were terrible and the NAM was the balls (it did well with the track)....if we're running 20 to 1 ratios everywhere out that way and west...ALL the models that put down .9 to 1.50/1.7 in that whole area, and across the state nailed it.... At 20 to 1, the NAM had some spots with 2 to 2.5 I think...not sure I've seen 50" reports anywhere yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phishn Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 What a great storm. 14" here in Attleboro and an experience I have never had before. 3 rounds of thunder snow early this morning within 90 minute period. One lightning strike was very close. The thunder rattled the windows and I had the dog following me around the house like it was a severe thunderstorm in the summertime.

Cold Miser Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Still snowing. I'm at 28"+, but I am not sure how that is. Ginx is less than 10 miles from me as the crow flies, and his total is in the low 20's. It's been relentless here pretty much all day. I've been doing the measuring correctly as well.

dendrite Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 In reality for all the yapping this morning about how the other models were terrible and the NAM was the balls (it did well with the track)....if we're running 20 to 1 ratios everywhere out that way and west...ALL the models that put down .9 to 1.50/1.7 in that whole area, and across the state nailed it.... At 20 to 1, the NAM had some spots with 2 to 2.5 I think...not sure I've seen 50" reports anywhere yet. I'm not sure I buy full-event totals that were 20:1. I think people who found their w.e. by melted down snow cores would end up with 15:1 at best. My first 6" were about 10:1 and my next 13" were ~15:1. Adding in my fluffy extra 2-3" on top and I probably finished with 13-14:1for the event. That includes sitting in deform heaven with 2-3"/hr for a few hours. The ASOS/AWOS gauges didn't fare too well with measuring the liquid equivalent (although the AWPAG gauges were somewhat better where winds weren't too high), and I'm sure the home wx stations were even worse. The Collinsville poster from here had 12:1 in CT with a 17" storm total. I believe he uses cores as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Craig http://www.northeastweathereye.com Hull Mass Good stuff! Cousins are still in the area. The thing about it, is the streets that were flooded didn't drain for days/a week because of the sal****er ice slurry. I too worry about these storms, we are all taking a wicked beating near the water the last 5-10 years. Seems to be really increasing in frequency and intensity. How much snow did you get from this event? It seems like areas right near me may actually have done better as the CF moved west at almost the same time precip came in here which kept it a little cooler.
