We don't need a miracle, just ticks in the other direction. It'd have to stop ticking in the other direction first though.

Icon follows the trend. Whiff.

If you live in se new england, you'd be an idiot to not continue a watching brief. Season is almost over for us. There's still a decent chance.

Or in the later tuck scenarios, you could be in a comma while I put myself in a coma. This is some seriously paranoid detail to be looking into at this phase. I'm just going big picture. Is storm? Yes? Good. I'll find out exactly how I get screwed in good time, but for me, there isn't much time left. We don't get much snow in March down here. That paltry number you are circling would double my snow for the year. Yeah, it would annoy me, just as Juno did. But these noreasters are proper storms. That's always an actual experience.

New Orleans got more snow in one day than I've had this season to date.

It was fun to be top of all the leagues, but now that the knockouts have started we can't really say that anymore. I mean, sure, fill your boots, but still. I only need the league. And it's "the league" not the EPL... I feel dirty even typing it. There's nothing for me for these next couple systems. It's all about that chance at a bomb in hallucination range.

You call that fog? Hahaha.

It looks great if you are a marine mammal. It's actually this exact type of setup that we do well with from time to time, it's consolidating into a nice band. It's just mostly over water. Westerly/new london looks good.

Finally began snowing. Death band incoming. 1 inch? A few more of these and I'll be in double digits this year. Sorry, getting greedy.

I wish the radar actually looked like that. Still dry here, should start soon though. I'll take a refresher. I totally missed the last snow. Entire family got the flu, what an ordeal.

Blob over orient point, blob at the northern ri border, a rare case where the screw hole isn't here. Though it isn't exactly a hole since the entire thing is too fast and ragged.

2 so far, always interesting when there's little wind. Not bad at all, it's just all moving too fast. If this was slower there would be even more have and have nots though, I'd guess. The best stuff down this way is falling in the sound so far and just offshore.

Wasn't the idea of dry slotting making local qpf forecasting moderately difficult something raised days ago in the actual forecast discussion by box. What is new about this?

The box forecast has a very typical gradient of doubling snow from Newport proper to about 10 miles north of here, and that's typical. I'll still take it, but when these things show themselves across models, my experience is that my microclimate underperforms vs over performs. The bay likes to warm. I need any ptype issues out to block island to not be worried, more robust antecedent cold, and much more dynamic powerful systems than this.

Speak for yourself.

This is beginning to look more slushy than sleddy for the kids Sunday morning. The dreaded "a good region wide event."

Went skating on the pond again. You never know when it'll be the last time. Definitely the last time in this little stretch, the warming was making it start to sound a little sketchy, and it's open water in places from yesterdays melt.

Whoever reported 3 for Newport is full of it, but that's probably that Middletown location. Enough to sled on for three hours and I'll take that.

Looks like fun is almost over down here. Enough to justify a nice walk in the snow and enough for the kids to do some slightly grassy sledding if it freezes up a bit more in the early morning. I'll take whatever I can get.

I know, whatever next. Big wet flakes.

Snowing nicely once the lull ended. There was zero mixing.

Someone from Maine the other day said they might be relocating down here, and what was the winter like. What I should have said was well, do you like looking up through the rain at a street lamp, and convincing yourself through sheer will, that droplets of rain have pseudo crystalline structures? Because if so, boy, oh boy, are you going to love it down this way. I've spent hours with this street lamp. Many things lie in the world of meteorology, if you aren't rigorous in your probabilistic thinking. That street lamp though, it's a straight shooter, the wretched bastard.

Such a tiny little core. Wonder what the ceiling is.

The educated people you know can't read a weather forecast then. Preparing for the worst here meant a very normal track deviation of just a few miles in either direction causing the worst of a storm surge to go into one of two bays, it had nothing to do with the storm being stronger than forecast.

You've started strawmanning "FLORIDA WILL BE WIPED OFF THE FACE OF THE MAP, THIS IS THE END TIMES" and now are in the position of waving away significant destruction, even as it's being uncovered. Stop responding to stupid media by having diametrically opposed equally stupid opinions. Stop characterizing the most extreme opinion as definitive. That is why public discourse is broken. Try ignoring the sensationalism, listening to the calm, intelligent voices, then you can have an adult conversation. Or, carry on, I guess.
