Waterspout video Kindly ignore my weather fangirling.

I just saw a hook echo then watched a waterspout form from the cross sound ferry. Took some video.

Coating here. This weather today conspired to be as god awful as possible for the exact timing of the parade. Washed the early vomit off the sidewalks. Now the rest can freeze. Going to have a wintery drive up to providence.

Ill never buy into a relatively minor event producing much of anything right on the coast in liminal temps. Can't get screwed if you don't expect anything. I went on a nice long walk in a rain jacket. If winter didn't want to say goodbye nicely, it can choose the good riddance strategy.

It's snowing now, which for all sensible effects is trivia. But, not for me. An opportunity to say goodbye to winter.

This isn't even good mood snow down here so far. I wasn't expecting it to stick, but it's mostly rain.

Anyone know how NW CT is getting on? Anyone near Cornwall?

Woke up to pingers at 4am and knew that it was what we thought it was. Now my kids daycare is cancelled and we get to enjoy what will be a rain day. I understand why they did it due to staff driving from north, but there's nothing enjoyable about cold rain. Heavy sleet should give way to rain any moment.

Population distribution.

Why would aggregating a bias resolve it? You compared the various opinions on this board to ensembles. They aren't. They aren't even different models. Some of us are just grunting.

I don't know how a watch can be ridiculous, but I've been certain that we're looking at a mainly rain, couple inches of slush at best thing. Honestly, the blizzard actually being a blizzard here shook my confidence in pessimism at all times, which was a welcome experience. But it has its limits. The cold don't hold in the bay.

Nonsense, this forum has a noted weenie bias.

What's the Ukrainian for lend/lease? Uncle Sam has bills to pay.

I'm selling 4-6 near the coast. My guess is my kid gets a slushy post birthday "snowday." Nm, the update looks a lot more realistic Imby.

I don't think I've ever seen a system like this where the shore didn't capitulate to rain almost immediately. Not that it really matters exactly how much there is when its all getting washed away. I am rooting for the Berkshires though. Know a weenie up there who is probably staring at his snowshoes right now wondering where it all went wrong this winter. Similarly, the people who live around the capital district. I mean, that in itself is enough punishment.

Oh, and I enjoyed watching local Mets slow walk the totals as their graphics hadn't updated. 1-3, statewide, no big deal. 1-3 with some spots of maybe 3-6, 3-6 but not too big a deal, 3-6 with some spots... I love a positive bust.

Lots of drifting, but my average was 5.75. will be interested to see what the reports are, as my house isnt the best place to sample. Western parts of RI cleaned up. That's nice as they werent hit as hard by the blizzard. Heading to the cemetery with my skis.

Wow, and still a few to come. Nothing beats a positive bust. Congrats.

Proper snow now. Finally got a full blanket and roads covered. Two very d different beautiful days.

We are just too south of this little band so far. Had dippin dots in the am. Better stuff now but it struggles to accumulate. 8 hours of snow in one form or another, and we have just under an inch.

The "sufficiency" of the rate is related to the ground temp. If you want a reduction to the absurd, go stick a griddle outside.

Yes, of course the antecedent temperatures matter, and the snow rate matter. It is a variable. It's not a switch. I'm just saying their casually applying it with a broad stroke is as silly as claiming the phenomenon doesn't exist.

How could it be a myth? It's basic physics. We have liminal temps, it didn't get below freezing until recently, and when I laser temp a surface it's well above freezing. There's no snow accumulating on anything that retains heat. Yes, snow falling at decent rates would overwhelm that, but that makes a significant difference, since we don't have remarkable rates even in the bands right now, and it's a long duration low intensity event with lots of breaks for melting. There is a large break between this batch and any further sustained snow tonight. Road conditions would be more of a concern if antecedent temperatures were cold. Would they magically melt poundage? No, of course not.

From biking up the east bay bike path in a t-shirt to cross country skiing the next day? I'd love it.

Stealing mid Atlantic snow.
