Phil Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 10 hours ago, AlTahoe said: What was the final snow total in the area you were at? Or did it all blow away? Must have been some big drifts somewhere. Where I was, around 14”. The extreme wind and spray kept accumulation to a minimum until ~ 2pm, when the wind switched to offshore and accumulation began in earnest. That 14” fell in ~ 5hrs right at the end of the storm. Really wild stuff. 2 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Phil Posted February 1, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Video, part-1. First 10 mins: Starts slow. Rain/snow mix (gradually) transitioning to all snow. Gusts 60-65mph. Can hear the wind wailing through the power lines at times. 14-15mins: Intensity increases, 70mph gusts start ~ 15mins. Car is rocking really good despite the hotel building offering substantial protection from the wind. Still minimal accumulation. 22mins: Had to retreat inside, as conditions became unsafe and the “storm surge” began to engulf the building. 26mins: Hurricane force gusts, surge increasing. 32mins: VERY violent, window shatters 33:20. Gusts > 80mph. 34mins: Ocean hammers the building, flooding the basement and cracking 2 more windows. 36mins: About 1hr later, venture outside again as winds calm a bit (“a bit” being relative, still gusting 70+mph). Snow accumulation = minimal thru this vid. The wind was simply too strong. Part-2 will have the rapid accumulation and whiteout conditions that happened at the end. I know it’s a long video, but would recommend watching whole thing for best experience of storm evolution, which was quite dynamic. 8 3 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 1, 2022 Report Share Posted February 1, 2022 Also want to say, this is an exceptionally sturdy building. Very well-built. The amount of abuse it can take is mind blowing. Mother Nature consistently hammers away at it, and it requires heavy maintenance, but it’s rock solid. In my conversation with the staff/maintenance crew, this kind of thing is actually relatively common in the cold season. Apparently this wasn’t even the worst storm they’ve seen this winter. A storm in November shattered all those ocean facing windows, this one didn’t. These storms are just a part of life for them. I thought nor’easters could be violent down here in Maryland, and they can, but now I understand why they’re so hyped up there in New England. These things are f**king vicious. The combo of heavy snow, hurricane force winds, and frigid temperatures right at sea level is more analogous to what you’d experience in the Bering Sea or Anchorage, Alaska. If anything the snow is heavier with these storms given frontogenic dynamics associated with them. 5 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure ramped up pretty fast. So intense. Nice job capturing it all. It's a good thing they had the strobe light working it looks like a great nice for some disco. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice job capturing it all. It's a good thing they had the strobe light working it looks like a great nice for some disco. Oh, yeah when I arrived there was live music playing, everyone was drinking and having a great time without a care in the world. It’s an awesome place. But next time I blizzard chase, I’m staying several miles inland. I underestimated the extent to which the wind would limit accumulations (and trigger a storm surge + coat everything with a thick layer of ice from spray..including my car). Major headache. 3 Quote Live Weather Cam: https://www.youtube.com/live/KxlIo8-KVpc?si=xKLCFYWbZieAfyh6 PWS Wunderground https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMDBETHE62 PWS CWOP/NOAA: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=F3819&hours=72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from Skyway looking NE up Lake Washington, towards Mercer Island and Bellevue at about 900 ft. I've never caught a rainbow with the drone before, so yay for that first. Some fun looking virga too! But need some snow.

We might have to wait for the internet to be upgraded in his neighborhood before we see it. I took a nap.
