mahk_webstah Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 heavy dendrictic rippage ongoing. snow growth improved markedly at 9:30. Just measured 1.5 in in an hour. 24.5 on the ground. total at 8:30 was 1 inch total at 11:30 was 4 inches what happened to make the snow growth so much better? looking at radar, dry slot in central mass? another area building just east of Springfield MA and echoes starting to move N instead of NE. Whoever stays snow for the next 4-6 hours in n ma and snh and sw me is going to have a foot as the pivot hasn't begun yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HimoorWx Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Flakes getting bigger now on Huntington Avenue in Boston. Really coming down. Almost no wind and no sign of warming even though Logan is up to 34. Talked to my wife at home in Randolph a little while ago, and it was still pouring snow just south of 128 and the Blue Hills.

kulaginman Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 We've just flipped from gigantic wet snowflakes over to rain here in Canton, MA (just east of 138 near Blue Hill). It was a very quick changeover from huge flakes to no flakes in less than 5 minutes. Not sure if this is a function of the warm layer pushing in at mlvls or the marine layer pushing west at llvls....but we've changed over regardless of the culprit haha.

ski MRG Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 21/18, -pl/-zr ,6.75" new, Kudos to BOX on a well forecast snowfall as they had me progged for 6.9". Average snowdepth in MBY now at 35". Possible we'll pick up a little more before all is said and done. Getting a thin hide on top of the snowpack, hope it doesn't turn into a bulletproof glaze as the tree skiing id perfect right now. One thing is for sure, this isn't going anywhere soon. Big Winter incoming, Big Big Winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This plus what's coming by the weekend means that the woods will be unbelievable! Hey Mike, just about to go out and clean up then plan to head to the snow BVasin to earn some turn. Nice consistency to this snow, styarted out as feathers but ended as sifted cake flour. looking forward to another good dose in a couple of days. Hoping to top 45" on the ground here by Sunday.

Just measured 1.5 in in an hour. 24.5 on the ground. total at 8:30 was 1 inch total at 11:30 was 4 inches what happened to make the snow growth so much better? looking at radar, dry slot in central mass? another area building just east of Springfield MA and echoes starting to move N instead of NE. Whoever stays snow for the next 4-6 hours in n ma and snh and sw me is going to have a foot as the pivot hasn't begun yet. 5.5 total. 1.5 in 3 hours under mostly light snow and lousy snow growth. better snow growth and burst of moderate in the last 20 mins so we will see what the next few hours hold. Dry slot has been impinging but maybe we can get that solid shield to the south before any changeover. My otg total is still about 24, heavier snow today has compacted. But soon that will be a quite solid 2 feet, less fluffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
