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.

They are normally the last to get axed but they will if the forecast is bad enough. I work TSA at Logan Airport at the International Terminal E. What the domestic airlines do is start to cancel their smaller, low passenger yield, regional flights first. Then they will cancel the rest of their flights about 24 hours before storm time if the forecast is still bad. THe old off until the bnes are different. They will hold off until the bitter end and most likely just cancel their inbounds from Europe which then has a trickle effect by canceling that nights flight back to Europe. Some airlines will delay their inbound by as much as 10 hours if the storm is forecast to wind down/end by the time they need to land. I remember the Jan 4th, 2018 storm last year (what was the buzzword on that storm that everyone was calling it on social media? cyclopse or something?), every single flight was cancelled in the airport except for a couple from Europe that were just delayed. I think Hainan Airlines delayed their inbounds from Beijing and Shanghai by like 8 hours just so they could operate their nightly flight back and they could operate their nightly flight back

Honestly though, how much of that ZR in those areas on those maps is lost to runoff? I guess it depends on how cold the surface temps are

Hopefully it stays south of the pike. I don't think anyone wants an inch of ice except for a certain someone in NE Connecticut. It's Championship Weekend and I've already decided that travel on Sunday is not going to work and cancelled plans

lol yep. I think the Euro set to bar too high. There's going to be upset people in here when everything starts coming down to earth.

I know it's hard to say at this time considering we don't even know the track of this thing but does anybody know what the timing of this is looking like? I have plans for travel by road around SNE Sunday afternoon. Is it looking like a Saturday night to Sunday night deal? Or something that ends by Sunday afternoon?

Forky mentioned something about that yesterday i think

Yeah, if the mid-levels are going to torch at Logan they’re going to torch in a lot of surrounding areas. This isn’t the usual marginal temperature issue/having trouble accumulating at the coast type of storm

Yeah with the qpf numbers being shown on most globals (even if they are overdone as others have mentioned), it looks like at least the BL will be below freezing for BOS even if it does come back amped up. Thinking good thump and a lot of sleet as of right now

Well that’s a shame for you I guess. Besides the mountains and Upper Midwest, this is probably one of the worst areas to live if you hate winter

Did someone hack this account? I remember you being nothing but pessimistic/trolling us the last two winters. What happened?

Kinda surprising about the Euro considering the UKIE went way east. Don’t they usually follow each other?

I hope you’re right. Maybe we’ll get another 09’-10’ before then too!
