160,000 with no power according to CMP

Going up by the minute.  170k.  Androscoggin is the county with the highest % (27k of 58k).

Quick peak. Must be 8" or so.

Didn't know you were holding out on us.  How much snow?

Look at you!  So proud of your progress.

2.7" new, in a bit of a lull, but should pick up here in a bit per radar. Lifetime table of science has been cleared.

PWM 05z obs

0.5" new snow, event total

0.28" SWE

0.35" rain measured when we flipped at 0145z

Currently SN- 33°F

34° and just flipped to snow.

Time to hit the bar so I can get a few in before 05z.

37 with light rain - 0.18 so far. Taking the under on those beefed up coastal snow totals from GYX.

35/33 and rain here.  I'm not ready to bail yet, we weren't forecasted to flip until 11 anyways.

Something broke with the scripts today and it nuked our actual forecast when the probabilities ran, so check it now for the actual current forecast. Not much different but a little beefier at the coast.

It’s hard to see but this is my PWS set up. I mounted it on a white board off the corner of my deck using shelving brackets. It’s 7’-8’ off the ground. It’s not perfect but does a decent job. I also have an NWS employee who lives not far from me and I check my measurements with what they report when the PNS comes out. Usually within about a half inch either way. 

Nice!  My comment wasn't directed towards you (or your deck railing) - I've seen you post that before with your PWS.  I do however see a lot of straight up deck railing measurements.  

Before we get any real obs going...for the love of god, throw out a white piece of wood or even a cutting board for your snow measurements.  

Pains me to see deck railing and driveway measurements (cough cough astro' 'joyer)

Joe blow on facebook? fine, whatever.  You weenies?  For shame.

They made it for old people to read with that 24 font..............

Wonder how the color gradients are for old eyes?

Good lord.  I hope they take that graphic out back and shoot it.

It is going to be wild in Portland and especially west during the early morning 

 

I think our outages will exceed last weekend's ice storm, and that was relatively significant for our area.

You sure you wouldn't prefer a model without an STD?

@mcglups Thank you for the insight. I'm personally planning to do Route 16 to I95 and avoid 93 altogether. I'm not sure it will be any better but that's my thought..

You might be better off taking 302 over into Maine and picking up 95 there.  Rationale being there could be less people heading south that way vs. 16.

@tunafish can make last call and then do his PWM measurement.

It's ideal.  I used to have to leave the bars at 1130 to get home for 12A observation.  Now I can stay until 12:30.  

One of the more impressive ninja's I can recall.

I've got a honda genny. I usually wheel it out then put a folding table over it then a tarp. I leave the ends open. Poor mans shelter but I only do this in bad rain or sn storms. Does everyone else cover their portable genny or do leave it uncovered and hope for the best

I deal with not having power until precip is done.

Winds are forecast to be 30's mph G45-55mph up here, It will be grid failure.

Weakened limbs from last storm, fully saturated ground.  Wet snow and enough wind.

There will be more in the way of wind impacts with this and wherever that mixes with low ratio snows look out

Whether its rain or snow, It will by high impact, Wind and storm surge from the east just enhances things too.

I have 0 reason to be confident in my location for this, but I am.

I’ll take the snow.  Shortening stick season is always welcome for my pursuits

Futility died last weekend so I say bring it.  Currently #3 least snowy.  If you're not first you're last.

Lots of eclipse pilgrims stuck in the mud. I can’t wait to see the pics of Honda Pilots with CT plates stuck in mud halfway up the driver side door. 

At this point I'm almost as interested in the human element of this whole thing more than the eclipse itself.  It's going to be theatre in NNE.  

Hoards of people, most of whom will be ill-equipped, woefully unprepared for any extended stay on the roadways, and tempted to try alternate routes that'll lead them to no-gas-no-cell-service land.  Will be fascinating to watch unfold if we get a clear-ish day.

Thanks for the feedback. We have our glasses and live within a fairly easy drive of totality, so I don't see myself passing it up.

I think our spot will involve us taking 95.  I'm not worried about it on the way up, but on the way back I can see it being a complete nightmare.  Working on alternative routes home that don't involve 95, but there aren't many that don't take you WAY out of the way.
