Woke up to some thunder. BOX radar is down but the light show here in Braintree is nice. Haven't seen any hail yet.

...A strong thunderstorm will impact portions of eastern Norfolk,
south central Suffolk, northwestern Plymouth and north central
Bristol Counties through 445 AM EDT...

At 403 AM EDT, Doppler radar was tracking a strong thunderstorm over
Sharon, or near Norwood, moving northeast at 45 mph.

HAZARD...Wind gusts up to 50 mph and nickel size hail.

SOURCE...Radar indicated.

IMPACT...Strong winds could cause minor damage such as downed
         branches. Minor damage to outdoor objects is possible.

Cool site to see reported power outages. They currently report over 84,000 without power.

It is brutal out here. Impossible to measure as everyone has noted.. Hoping these bands can rotate a bit farther NW. Can see the ocean effect on radar a bit. I tried to get farther SE towards Plymouth but there was nothing available any where for a reasonable price.

Any posters from around where I am? 

Hello neighbor! My house faces the north and I don't have to clean much off my car or walk way, yet. It's all getting blown away.

Will have Boston supermarket report in a bit. 

At 6 am this morning the Shaws in Braintree had a line waiting to go in, when I left the store there was a news crew in the parking lot setting up.

In That case we hot dog

Yeah I grew up in Georgia. Not used to many of these storms. It really makes me feel like a kid again.

A rare storm with little wind.

Yes. Looks like a snow globe through the window here in Braintree.

Why all of the delays though?

Time for tests to come in and find substitutes.

For what?

Schools don't have staff to operate in person learning.

I have no idea. I'm just a weenie. Why do snow bands bunch up like this?

After further questioning myself. Why do they form their own bands instead of being a giant shield like a rain storm. 

I have no idea. I'm just a weenie. Why do snow bands bunch up like this?

Don't give up hope. Its not over. Even if it is mild..we could still have that one epic storm. 

Yeah! If Hawaii can do it, so can we!

Nice outflow boundary on radar. 

Love seeing flashes and hearing thunder.

The severe aspect of this storm system right now in the south is sobering.

Cold rain in Braintree, MA.

Beware the NW trend.

All snow in Cambridge MA.

Good morning all. New to this subforum. I moved to Boston in May from Georgia and live in the Cambridge area. I've only experienced a few storms over 4" in my life. Does the ocean temperatures effect every storm like this? Or is it only early in the season when the water is relatively warm?
