Middleborough Gas & Electric has 2500 outages reported with no timeline for restoration. Opening the middle school as an emergency cooling center.

Couple areas of town and traffic lights on rt 44 are out when I passed through not too long ago.

Got some nice consistent thunder and lightning, if it weren't 45 degrees with our fireplace going I'd say it sounds like summer.

I find that hard to believe. I live in the torchiest part of the south shore when it comes to sun and nothing showing yet. 

Outside of piles from shoveling sidewalk and driveway my front yard is bare.

Have been admittedly out of touch with this storm, thought it was mostly a rainer down here so this evening has been a pleasant surprise. Moderate intensity for better part of past hour.

Congrats to you also, on surviving/enjoying the 1st year. First? I haven't really taken her outside during a snowstorm yet, looking forward to it. 

We have an almost 6 yr old as well but with the age gap it took a minute to break the rust off in the beginning. Should be fun taking her out tomorrow morning ahead of her bday party.

Thanks, Jerry. Unfortunately all Amtrak trains rest of today are booked. 1st train not available til 6:30AM tomorrow (S Station). I can suggest that but would she have trouble on roads getting to S Station via Uber, taxi, or whatever?

Just a heads up, I just looked and there are tickets out of 128 available for 3 more trains today.

Yes, last winter during the storm. She turns 1 next week. V day baby 

Congrats! Ours was scheduled to be a v day baby last year but decided to arrive early on the 10th.

Fuck that storm to hell

We left South Shore Hospital a day early after we had our daughter because of that storm, just to get like 4" at home.

Man, hard not to get excited with some of the agreement we're seeing. I understand the apprehension from some down in this neck of the woods, but can't hate the look we're seeing.

Add this one to the confusion.

Do we have any thoughts yet on start/end times for the weekend storm?

(Lucky me I’m supposed to fly out of Boston internationally with kids on Sunday AM).


.

I'm wondering the same but mostly because I'm smoking a ton of stuff for a birthday/super bowl party. Going to be awesome drinking outside in the snow with the smoker going.

We sleet.

Tiny flakes but pretty much immediately sticking across the surfaces.

don't say anything to her yet that would be the equivalent to someone starting a thread

Not saying anything at all, I'll let my mother in law fall on that sword.

That is a beautiful run. As an absolute snow weenie I want that to come true.

As a husband who's wife has been planning our daughter's 1st birthday party for next Sunday, I am terrified.

Unexpected snowy Saturday morning down here. Just enough to coat the trees and ground. We'll take it 

That squall came through and I thought we'd at least get some heavy rain or something. Can't even muster that.

Wild photo I came across. More snow coverage across the deep south than the South Shore.

Was working on my standing desk and noticed monitors and desk shaking while I was on a call with client. Had the classic 'uh I think we're having an earthquake' moment.

Just eyeballing it but I'd say about 3-3.5".

Was surprised it was as light as it is, made clearing driveway a breeze. Thought for sure it was going to be heavy and wet.

Ripping out, roads covered already. Hopefully can make up some ground and make most of next few hours.

Changing over finally. 

The rain continues, don't see how we really get any accumulation going at this point.

Are the reds and yellows snow or rain?

Very much rain
