CoastalWx Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Tell me about it! lol. Every time I hung up the keyboard after a post I was thinking, "yeah, but that means I'm an azzhole" - oy vei. You know what is the really elusive number? 30" I have been through 3 in my life, 1978, 1992, and 1997. I have experience well over 10 20s though. Something about that - I mean, why isn't it 40". I think 4/97 was my real true 30". Jan '05 was close, but may have been just shy, thanks to 70mph winds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Ok, boys.....High confidence measurement: 20.5" Storm total Avg Depth-21"....Max Depth-23" Where does this rank for me: 1) April 1997....30" Wet Snow bomb 2) Jan 2005: 25" of powder 3) Dec 1992: 21" Wet snow bomb 4 Jan 2011: 20.5" .....Wet snow, transitioning to fluff towards the end. 5) March 2001: 20" of wet snow. This is JUST missing being dubbed a top 3 event for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40/70 Benchmark Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Nice! Finally did it. The avg depth of the new snow is about 17.5"....it compacted a decent amount throughout most of the event since it was wet, but the final couple inches are fluff. The 20.5" total is derived via the wipe-and-clear method (every 6 hrs).....it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codfishsnowman Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I got 17" of snow and still got screwed apparently, lol. How did you get only seventeen and bristol got two feet? that whole zone bristol to whtd south and east...do you think you were into a little subsidence on the outside of their mega baning ? What is your total on the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have problems with clearing an area and then measuring because of blowing and drifting, but I try to do what I can. If worse came to worse, stick a ruler in the ground and look at the obs to try and get the best guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 On the pics above, click to enlarge and you should see the flakes during the mid afternoon short but intense band.

weathafella Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 What was Logan's final total? We're waiting but it's still snowing lightly imby so presumably there too? My guess is it will be 13.7.

Pure guess based on the 1pm number of 11.6 and the bands since. Nice pics. It's the same here, with snow caked on everything...trees, wires, houses..everything. Looks impressive.

Pure guess based on the 1pm number of 11.6 and the bands since. Ah OK, I guess Logan didn't get nearly as much as parts of interior Mass and Connecticut. That's also another reason it's hard to reach 73" there, they never seem to measure as much and marginal events perform the worst on the open ocean. You're definitely racking it up for Logan but it sounds like some people outside the city center have recorded a bunch more this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Nice Jerry congrats, LOL on the Epic meltdown You read it? It was vintage weenie. Then I forced myself up after under 3 hours sleep in a regime where there have been few nights of greater than 5 hours sleep outside of weekends since early Dec. Strong and active winters do that and make me think of the greatness of retirement. The day I can afford it...I'm out. Probably when my 11 yo graduates HS if I have enough in her college acct.

You're definitely racking it up for Logan but it sounds like some people outside the city center have recorded a bunch more this season. Yeah though my house typically averaging maybe 10 more/year than Logan is probably similar to them though I picked up (eyeball) around 15 today. We got dryslotted early after the big push. Logan had trouble early because they were 33 for most of the event but in reality the issue wasn't that...it was mainly the capricious placement (it seems) of bands. The 12/26 event was the opposite and they picked up 18.2. But around Boston even in the city and on the water, this was a much higher impact event.

I live near Logan and a mile inland and even I sometimes see a difference. Logan doesn't have a guy right there at all times to measure either. It sometimes puts them in a tough spot.

This weenie snow is dropping like a tenth or two here and there. Yeah I'm really curious about BOS. I think they may have picked up 1.5 in the band around 3 and maybe another inch in snizzle/sn- . Still light snow, about another 1/2 inch since shoveling around 4:30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
