The Official 2/26 - 2/27 Storm Discussion Thread

About an inch here and the temps have dropped 2 degrees over the last hour or two. Snowing hard right now, we just had some huge flakes a few minutes ago but now they're normal again.

I still don't know what to expect down here for this one.

Seems like reports are different everytime I look for sounthern NE. We'll just have to see how things turn out.

NOAA is now calling for 3-6" at elevation as far south as the Litchfield hills. Maybe we'll get a nice surprise out of this one...

 

[Zand]

^Nah, just a lot of sleet.

Still coming down real good here. Wachusett may turn out to be pretty nice tomorrow based on the way the changeover now looks to take its sweet time.

Just got this in an email from Sunday River:

I wish I could get out of work for the rest of the week and that I wasn't sick...

3 inches so far in the Mt. Snow Valley and it's coming down HARD!

Who generates this for them? It seems a bit biased for Northern Maine compared to other Northern New England snow fall prediction maps I've seen today.

I'd agree with your statement... they don't say where thier maps come from.

It's an NECN map, but it's dead wrong for MA. The 3" line should almost be down to the MA/CT border. And it also seems to be way too low for most of VT and NH. Never thought I'd get myself to say that NECN is forecasting too low.

No way, Sunday River/Boyne posting a snowfall map that has SR and Sugarloaf as the big winners

Snowing big flakes in Worcester County (Grafton MA). Got about an inch maybe two on top of existing snow becase it was cold....

Exactly the thoughts I was having when I first saw this. I just wanted to get some source facts before pointing the BS finger.

 

[SnowRider]

Now rain here in Grafton :sad:

 

[WJenness]

Still snowing decently here in Chelmsford, MA... roads are quite slushy... driveway probably has 1/2" on it...

[Zand]

Went over to rain here.

 

[Justin10]

A pretty moderate snowfall here in plymouth, NH right now. Looks like 2 or 3" on the ground right now and still a long ways to go. I'm hearing stuff about a pretty large dry slot forming. Anyone with more experience know if this will be a factor at all?

 

[WJenness]

Went over to rain here.

Here as well.. quite a while ago now...

[riverc0il]

I keep changing my mind, what to do?! LOL. Nice having choices. At this point, due to driving conditions and ease of travel tomorrow, looks like Jay Wednesday, MRG Saturday, and Cannon Sunday (fixed due to being back in Plymouth at 2pm).

Moderately sticky snow here in Plymouth/Ashland at 8pm. Snowed all day without much accumulation but coming down at about an inch an hour and 2" on the ground so far.

 

[wa-loaf]

About 2" of sticky stuff. Went to rain at 8 pm.

 

[gladerider]

anyone around stratton? the current condition at the base according to weather underground is rain and mid station is snow.
