We need the storm tucked in just offshore of Delmarva to maximum potential with a deformm band, like in 2016. GEFS has this.

It’s 84.2 here at 1:50PM! At 1 PM, it had already hit 83, just 1F below the daily record high. There are gusty warm SW winds.

CoastalWx getting slammed by the Vortex?

Probably starts snowing mid- late afternoon Sunday and ends Tuesday

0.64” with latest rain.

Mt holly issued watches

flights will be fine tomorrow.. not starting until late Sunday anyways.. could even leave Sunday morning

Yeah, my district absolutely cares. They don't have a problem using snowdays when necessary, but they absolutely will take away school vacation days or add on days at the end of June to meet the criteria. As of now, I'm 100% calling for a snow day for my school Monday, and probably a 2 hour delay on Tuesday.

Just did driveway. Sleet /zr mix

Or is someone all in CoastalWx!??

Agree, geographic area and sporadic maximum snow areas across a large portion of the country. Wondering what NESIS will come in at.

These webcams are fun during events like this https://www.wachusett.com/the-mountain/media-center/webcams/

Steady snow has commence here. Light but steady. Heavier echoes about to move in, so maybe we can grab a quick 1-2"....not expecting much though.

The scale of impact of that storm probably makes it 3 or higher.

suburban districts absolutely care about state funding and will not chance losing it; i once taught all the way to june 30, in 1994, and gave up most of spring break, then started summer school. and i was in grad school. i was totally burned out.

Late 90's - remember a largely unforecast event that dumped 20+ inches on the eastern edge of the Mass North shore. Literally 2 miles inland...absolutely nothing. (Salem to Peabody for ref)

The storms aren’t officially chosen until next year for this winter I think but given the huge geographic area affected and BOS walking away with 23”, it’s a very high likelihood. It’s based on severity times number of people affected.

That looks pretty reasonable to me although maybe questionable for Mt Holly’s area

CoastalWx is all in!

Yeah, it was all sleet.

NYC got about a foot... granted with about 1.8 qpf... just feels not quite enough. Do others classify this storm as a KU? I would be interested to know.

Def head back tomorrow

Hope a bunch of us get to experience a Juno level deathband from this storm:
