I grew up on the southernmost end of the "Foster Glocester No School" zone of northern RI and even there the 80s were like this. So many nights I'd go to bed with expectations of a 3-6 storm and no school, only to wake up with literally nothing on the ground. Yes it was a different time back then in terms of school closures, and yes there were a couple of times when we'd get something and my Mom would refuse to drive me to school (we had a 20 minute drive into Providence), but make no mistake -- I had literally 0 snow days from 7th grade until I graduated high school (87-93) in Providence. Not a single one. As soon as I left the pattern changed the following winter!

It is. Reminds me of numerous snow storms since I've been following this board. Before that, growing up, I always thought my mom was just kidding when she said Narragansett Bay had an odd effect on the weather!

No kidding. Most of SK is out here. Trees down everywhere. But this board is very much like that, if it doesn't happen to them they don't give a bleep. Luckily the surge was one non event I will gladly take every time.

Must be interacting with the colder water because the eye is starting to lose its definition. Also seems to be tilting NW from the last few frames also. It might clip LI after all if that is actually a real trend.

That eye starting to look a little ragged in the last few radar frames.

Is this trending westward "nudge" an indication Henri isn't going to intensify a hell of a lot -- and/or the trough that's to the west is stronger than indicated? Or both? What's the reason for the continual "movement" that way. Or is some of it related to the storm itself just being further to the west at the moment than anticipated. The power outtages suck but we're used to it. It's more the coastal high tide/full moon coinciding that is the concern for us.

I'm on the water so it's always "wetter" here but, even so, this isn't anywhere near "light, fluffy" stuff. Nor is it hammering too hard yet. Maybe a couple of inches but man, it is wet and heavy. Hard to envision ultimate accumulations at least around here being anywhere near 12-18 with it being this dense and wet.
