This will probably help out the bare grounds in parts of Maine have a white Christmas but anything inside 495 is probably toast. The white rain will still be festive for Christmas Eve

Fortunately this happened on a post-Covid Friday cause the traffic was as bad as I’ve seen it from a storm in a while. A lot of people were off today too being he so close to Christmas. If it was a Tue-Thur storm, it would have rivaled the mess in 2007. Folks were really caught off guard with this one.

Without a doubt. Do they still take measurements there?

Over 3” and counting. Easily coming down 1”-2” hr. Just came from picking up the old lady at the airport and the roads are a mess including Logan. They have a chance to break the streak if this continues

At least 2” here in Chelsea. Very pleasant surprise

I like how that map takes into account the UHI effect in the freezing areas. Has that always done that?

That is unbelievably strong tornado to lift up and move a roll-off dumpster on to a roof. Very very impressive

Please tell me that’s just hyperbole and he wasn’t actually making these claims. If true, that’s very unprofessional and immature

This one needs to be watched obviously. As others have said, this type of pattern gives the models fits and the type that could have a system pop up with a very short lead time, kinda like Francine

This is not a wind threat up here. It’s going to be flooding rains and a lot of it.

Maybe if wind is just your thing then yeah, sure, but flooding rains are a real deal with these and are just as impactful if not more devastating than the winds for NE TC. I know you know all of this but this has much more of a chance to be a flooding disaster than wind impacts

Man this storm is slow to pull away. Getting the last clouds from it now. Basically directly impacted SNE weather for 4 full days. Impressive

Complete scalping in Chelsea with the grass getting covered. Kinda surprised honestly. Was expecting 100% rain at this point

BOX has the right idea. Maybe a tad light along the border but not by more than a couple of inches. I see they’ve learned their lesson from all the bullish calls this year in marginal situations. Anybody south of a ALY-MHT-PSM line expecting more than an inch or so of snow is going to be disappointed. It’s April. The airmass is decent for this time of the year but needs to be better for SNE

Try 9” with an average of 50”. Being at almost 50% of average isn’t that bad compared to a lot of others here. Still sucks though

Not sure what that’s about, an error obviously. Scattered dustings in Chelsea. Boston metro inside 128 has got to be the lowest relative to average in all of NE at this point. Sad last couple of winters here

All rain Boston with a temp of 35. Logan will record 0.0 out of this

Wagons north. Still looking good pike region but the north ticks need to stop now. If they continue at this pace until go time it’ll be congrats rt. 2 north

Yeah these are getting a bit ridiculous for the lead time. We really don’t need to see how much qpf an 18z run spit out for events that are 2 weeks away

We’re killing it on the coast. A whole coating! I’m surprised it’s even that tbh

They’re on another level down there in all seasons. Consistently 90+ and humid all summer, 80’s in peak climo winter. No thanks

Thinking this is very similar to 1/7 for the coastal plain inside 128. Lots of white rain and frustration. It’s always something here it seems, 1/7 the ocean was too warm still, now we have a cooler ocean but crappy airmass that can’t overcome it. Congrats interior nw of 495. We now suck on the coast for snow

Probably does pretty well on east flow events but gets screwed from any other direction it looks like

That’s going to be really bad for those areas. Those maps are almost always too bonkers but even if it’s 25% right then that’s some significant icing

That storm really was awful for the coastal areas of the northeast. I was only 12 y/o and in NNJ then but clearly remember the infamous snow map that the weather channel had up 1.5 days before the start of almost all of PA-NJ-SNE in purple saying 2-3 feet, locally more. Then remember that Sunday night the bust started going public with a now 3”-6” forecast, heartbreaking. That one hurt, so did 1/05 and 1/15. Just missed in NNJ-NYC while SNE got croaked in all of them. Got our revenge so to speak in 1/16 but the pain of those others was too much and moved up here 6/17, for personal reasons too. Sorry for the side track down memory lane. Please move to banter if need be
