The instability is great to watch on radar. Mesolows galore out to sea as everything blossoms.

Absolutely. It seems to be forming in the place they always form. It's the oddest thing!

With this band coming in now wind has picked up. Occasional gusts to 30. Nothing crazy here yet but the first real noreaster feeling I've had in years. Snow is already blowing nicely.

Good luck. I'm sticking with my understated 9" idea for lowly Newport. No doubt you'll do better. I buy the idea that we will just staying out of the good business from the east, and I have never not seen a death band to the west that is showing up in more detailed modeling. That's every storm I've seen with a classic track. I hope I'm wrong, because it would be good for everyone, but even if I make it to that amount, it'll blow my son's mind with the drifting and wind. I'm done now. At some point you have to look out the window, and now's the time for me. Hope it doesn't disappoint too many, and people actually get out in it!

I totally buy a death band in the typical place west of here creating problems for me. What I don't buy is the odd wobble as the storms recenters eastward. I'll be interested to watch it happen though.

Thanks for your service.

RI forcefield letting the team down.

Lovely preamble, this.

Looks textbook, mmm hmmm. Yeah. True, looking good! The pump is primed. Oh.. oh, no. Not those. I made an uh-oh.

Think of how more productive the discussion of ri geography could be. This idea has legs.

You know, a little negative trending and I may only get the best storm I've had in 7 years, not a decade. It's going to be hard to sled with my kid while I'm sobbing, but I'll try.

I'd love that, I just ... I've seen things. I don't know if I can ever learn to love again.

I feel like every storm we talk about how unusual it is that there's disagreement. I think there is just a phenomena where the more specific the expected result seems to become defined, the more variance there appears to be. We have far more consensus now than yesterday, and so on. It's most sensible for those on the edges, as always.

Shoot for the stars. If you fail, you'll still... post frothing rage, righteously indignant at the injustice of it all! I forgot how the phrase goes. I've been thinking 9 inches in my back yard for days. That'd be top 5 in my time here. I know that wouldn't raise an eyebrow elsewhere. Any more is gravy. I know plenty of guidance shows more. Once bitten, twice shy.

The drifts are going to be epic.

Fully agreed there. It's the hours before 9am I've never really cared for.

I've got young kids and I'm irrationally angry that someone is intentionally living a lifestyle that I'm forced into against my will.

I posted the same yesterday. I'm expecting Juno like results here, with some transient good stuff on the way in and out but during the height of it, subsidence. Good, but not great... Which might be as good as it gets here, bar a wonkier setup. Classic setups, traditional results.

To be fair it was impossible to measure that storm very accurately with the wind. The drifting was nuts.

I'm expecting something like 2015 here. This kind of screw look Imby, with wider general spread. I want the kid to see a proper snowstorm. He will see bits of one of the best. That's the best you're going to do down here.

It's not just in the nam. Honestly I've never seen a nor'easter not give me less than everywhere else due to banding on the ri/ct border and the core action north and east. It's kindof just the look. Newport is for gold digging second wives in the summer and subsidence in the winter.

The banding features are there in every storm. First I track whether the storm is actually coming. Once there is consensus on that I turn to the question of how it's going to screw me. This one is going to screw me in a fairly unoriginal way, it looks like. But, it's so enormous I'll still end up with plowable.

Gee I wonder where it will end up. I just can't imagine.

Not for me. Quelle surprise.

I always thought part of this effect was also ocean enhanced snow in a typical noreaster always enhancing rates to the north and east, then subsiding into the bay. Feel free to dispel this hackish bullshittery.
