The only report on BOX's Public Information Statement for Boston is a 4.5in report at 7am by "General Public". I guess they tossed the Logan report

It is. Easily over an inch of it now and coming down moderately. Pingers everywhere! I was expecting plain rain right on the coast up here. Heard on TWC a plow guy get interviewed in Downtown Boston. Said they were expecting flooding rains and rapid freeze. Then he said it only rained for 25 mins and a quick transition to sleet. I know Logan was reporting temps in the mid 30’s at some point this morning. I bet there was a pretty good temp gradient between Downtown Boston and the Logan ASOS which is at the end of one of the runways, right on the water if I’m not mistaken

I’m shocked by the temp for BOS at Logan. It’s down to 23 already and dropping! Did the models have that this early?

In my area of Eastie which is very close to Logan, right now we have about 3.5-4 in car tops. Then a glaze of ice on everything and a little less than an inch of sleet. Of course the actual snow that fell before the changeover idk but there has been a lot of compaction. I was sleeping lol

I’m in East Boston and there is a lot more than what Logan is reporting. Joke

How can you guys be complaining. Most of SNE is under 10in of snow for the winter. I know Northern Maine has done a lot better but come on

If the general public is still thinking that way they are going to be extremely surprised if these models keep going north. There will be an outcry on social media which is really the thing responsible for having to put out snow maps so early. Once some idiot posts a D7 Euro map that shows 2’ up and down 95, it goes viral and becomes unstoppable, even a week out. I thought it was funny last night as the 00z models were coming out showing a lot more warmth that Pete B. said that because of the government shutdown, it’s playing havoc with the models lol. Is there any truth to that? Less balloons being being launched and such?

I know it's difficult to do but could anyone possibly post the snowfall maps that the local mets have? Maybe not all of them but at least the big 3 (Harvey, Barry and Pete).

Pete B just upped amounts from yesterday. I'm actually kind of surprised and not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing

I don't think Harvey was putting out those numbers yesterday for a ratings boost. I think he was legitimately thinking that's how it's going to play out. He's one of the best and most respected in Boston. Judging by your past posts, you seem to have some sort of agenda when it comes to TV stations

No it’s not. Please stop with this dramatic nonsense that you spit out for every storm. Everything is always the coldest, wettest and snowiest model that you think is going to be right. All your ranges have a “+” at the end of them. It’s always “I think the OES enhancement will overperform or some crap like that. Then in the end, you apologize to everyone for “going overboard” and that it won’t happen again yet when the next storm comes along you’re back to the same crap. Your maps don’t make much sense also. 10” in MVY? Are you kidding me? Every single storm you’re like this and it’s painful to read your posts. I don’t get why people who troll warm and rain on here get banned/5 posted but people like him get away with this awful analysis, biased cold and wet with every single storm. I think I’ll just make you my first ever ignore on here because just seeing your avatar pop up makes me cringe cause I know what whatever it is you posted is going to be ridiculous and full of nonsense. Cut the crap please! PS. Not trying to be mean, just trying to knock some sense of reality into your posts. Somehow I don’t think it’s going to change though

I have a picture from the flight board that day lit up in red except for 2 flights to Iceland. I tried to upload it here but it’s too big. PM if you’re interested in seeing it as you seem like you have a aviation hobby like myself. Still don’t know what they’re going to do Sunday with the ice/sleet threat at Logan. I also used to deice planes at EWR and any talk of freezing rain or sleet would be worse than heavy snow (freezing rain cannot be deicer properly like if it was snow so if a lot of ZR is in the forecast, they’ll cancel most flights like if it was a 2’ blizzard).

I know the NAM is first up on the 00Z suite and most of the others come out between 11pm and 1am but when does the ICON come out? I think that and the IBM Deep Thunder were the one's showing what the Euro now shows days ago

We'll see what changes tonights 00Z runs from the globals bring. I think we're in the Euro's medium range wheelhouse time so I'll be paying attention to that the most like most everyone else. If it continues to show what it showed at 12Z or even better along with the UK, it'll be tough to bet against those two and they were pretty much the same at 12Z so we'll see. Of course, all the other globals will be important for any trends. Storm is nearly ashore in Cali so we should start getting a better consensus in the next 24 hours

I had to work that storm last March. All flights in and out were canceled until about 8PM when a few international flights went out. We closed the checkpoint basically all day and only reopened it at about 6PM because of those flights. Passenger and people were still out in the public areas all day but because all the checkpoints were closed, the airport was considered closed. It rarely happens though and if it does happen, it's only for a short time like I just explained. Only in 2015 did the airport completely close a couple of times to the point where they told us we could stay home and still get paid. When that happens the airport is really closed lol.
