1/16-17 Ma storm

[BWhite]

just saw this from Ch 7
So, here's my first guess forecast:

Cape & Islands
--------------------
5"+

Plymouth County, South Shore & the Eastern edge of Cape Ann:
-------------------------------------------------------
3-6"

Northern Cape Ann, North Shore, Metro Boston, Bristol County, out to Providence:
-----------------------
2-4"

North & West of 495 & most of Worcester County, Monadnocks:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-3" (locally higher due to elevation)

What's with all the cape storms this year? 2-4 is enough to plow for me, but I'd rather have a good 4-6. I haven't seen the weather yet tonight, but hopefully it won't turn to rain again like it has in the storms so far.

[JD PLOWER]

Drobson almost no chance of that around here. WAY TOO COLD for that. Ratios being mentioned are 15-1 maybe higher.

[BRL]

Yea this one will be a nice dry powdery blowing snow. :D

Hey Bill, next time how about expanding this thread to New England instead of just Massachetts? ;) Most of time when you guys get a storm, CT and NY also get a piece of it. I'd like to be involved in one of those thread since this is the same storm we're getting but this topic is for Massachetts region. Just a thought. :D ;)

Here is what im in for :D plowing!

A LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNING IS IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT.

LIGHT SNOW WILL BE IN PROGRESS THROUGH MUCH OF THE NIGHT BUT AS THE
WINDS BECOME MORE NORTHWESTERLY LATE TONIGHT WE EXPECT BANDS OF LAKE
EFFECT SNOW TO BECOME ORGANIZED. ACCUMULATIONS BY MORNING WILL RANGE
FROM 3 TO 5 INCHES BY MORNING WITH ANOTHER 4 TO 6 INCHES IN THE
HEAVIEST BANDS MONDAY. MORE IS EXPECTED MON NIGHT. STORM TOTALS
BY TUES MORNING COULD RANGE AS HIGH AS 10 TO 14 INCHES IN THE
MOST PERSISTENT LAKE SNOW AREAS.

TEMPS WILL BE VERY COLD. WIND CHILLS MAY GET DOWN TO ADVISORY
RANGE MON NIGHT.

[BWhite]

3-6 for my location . Looks like a coastal storm , Boston 5-10 , Cape Cod 6-12

[cat320]

I think i'm in that 3-6 range JD will be in the 5-10 .

Bill you really need to start putting graphic pics on where the snow demeion lines are LOL ;)

[snonut12]

1-3" forecasted for here. I doubt it'll snow enough for plowing. It was supposely to start snowing around noon today and so far at 9pm I see nothing out of my window. :rolleyes:

[Honest Mike]

Try looking out a different window! :haha Just kidding, nothing here yet either...:rolleyes: Why am I not surprised?? Mike ;)

[cat320]

Forecasting 2-4" up here. Everyone is getting plowed regardless. I didn't plow the 1 " we got thurs. Had numerous calls asking why.:( It was 55 degrees the next day , and they still couldn't understand why I didn't plow it. I guess if their willing to pay, I'll play.:confused:

[PSDF350]

have .5" right now and baby flakes comming down. supposed to get 2-4". alls i know wacky weather this year.

[drobson]

Just saw the latest forcast for my area, they are saying 3-6 inside Rt. 128 and 5-8 for the south shore and cape. 1-3 outside 128 to the Worcester area.

There is about 1/2" or so on the ground now in Malden, and they say it should be done with around 6 or 7am. Looks like I'll be getting up around 5am to start my route.

[2004F550]

Looking at radar, doesn't look like we could get more then 1 or maybe 2 inches at the most in CT from the current radar, just not filling in. Guess i'll be up for 4:30 to clean up this "event"........... .5" right now

[BWhite]

I relied on Chikage Windler on Channel 7 Boston . Her forecast was 3 to 7" for my area . I have 1"here and its all done . She should have gone to weather.com for her snowfall prediction . They predicted 1 to 3. What a failure on her part .

[snowplowjay]

Just got in from doing some work..........

We got about 1" here I got up around 3:30 and it wasnt nearly as bad as I expected...........


One major accident I heard of on the radio on the highway right outside of town a jacknife Tractor Trailer with a car in a ditch.....................


Jay

[JCurtis]

Ok This is beyond ridiculous.....

They were calling for 1" to 3" for nearly the entire tri-state area CT /NY/NJ

What did we get here in Stamford, CT just barely a dusting !!!! and Its a dry powder snow so the wind in blowing it off the roads and lots.

Not even enough to salt my lots:mad: even though the state and the city salted the roadways.

Holiday overtime for them !! . THe city is out here in full force plowing 3/4 " . Got to love front end loaders moving 3/4 "

[drobson]

Just got done here, 2" in malden area, a little less in woburn/burlington, almost nothing in Lexington. With this trend, I need to start getting accounts closer to the coast!!

[cat320]

I had enough to push 3/4 of what I plow .

[Mick]

This is ridiculous! I started watching this about 8:00 last night. Got up at 2:00 and had about 3" but still snowing so went to sleep in the chair. Got up at 5:30 and had gotten another 1/2". Still snowing and another inch predicted. Watched radar and it's showing the end of the snow about 30 miles east so got ready to head out about 9:30. Light snow when I started and started falling heavier.

Went back to the house to wait. :headwall

[gordyo]

Got about 6" on Cape Ann were I am. You are all welcome to come get some of it I don't want any more for the rest of the year.

[snowjoker]

Got 8-10 on most of my accounts and no sign of it letting up yet :eek: saying storm totals of 8-20+ inches payup plowing! Mother nature has turned the lake effect machine on :D

[PSDF350]

all said an done 1 stinking inch:headwall i will feel better when ol' man winter wakes up and gets back to work.

[JD PLOWER]

3.1 officially here. Got a full run in, including de-icing.

[gslam88]

Guys,

Unfortunatly for us here in CT.. they are talking about only a dusting to 1" for wed to thur...

Is Western CT going to actually see a winter.. or just like a woman.. Lots of Teasing....

Pete

[drobson]

Well, now we just have to deal with the cold temps for the next couple of days. Not supposed to get over 10 degrees tomorrow, hopefully there won't be too much wind.

[snonut12]

Woke up at 4am and was surprised to see 3.5" of snow on ground so I went out and plowed. Nice and easy fluffy stuff. :D plowing!
