There is no way in hell Boston has over 2 inches, never mind 7. My call for a Boston blizzard was a major bust. I have about an inch of slush here.i

To be totally honest here. I knew that was an error. Try more like 0.72" of snow and that would be the most realistic at Logan Air Strip. If this storm had actually yesterday held serve and went into a more favorable direction, we were looking at a February 1967 KU like storm but of course that obviously didn't happen. I believe I stated something like that yesterday.

So West Hartford had 15 inches but Bradley airport notes 1 inch-what a cutoff!

I was thinking initially the typical classic shadow valley effect but that is one hell of a difference! Evan a 6 hourly measuring technique wouldn't account for that big of a difference. Just wow.

Nice event for the southern peeps. Us North Shore peeps will wait some more. Hopefully not another 717 days…

They deserve it. They usually get skunked a lot especially this season till now. I don't have to wait as long as the immediate Northshore coastline though. Jan 6-7 helped with that.

Tomorrow will be 717 days and counting for KBOS ≥ 4"... if we don't end the streak before December 2024, we will be at 1000 days... completely off the charts for records since 1891.

Actually since 1870 but who's counting anyways.

Hope it will be a weak one next winter.

staying up tonight will be a waste of time.  Check the radar at 9 and go to bed. 

It's called sarcasm is what I posted.

Really big midnight models coming! Must stay tuned!

That's pretty much half of what Boston has had all year. I think it's been around 7 inches lol. Each year its worse and worse. 

I thought they were at 9.1" for the season but I get the overall point.

I never said what I expected.  I say you're expecting too much from a government agency that is likely understaffed 

Not sure about how understaffed they are but I do get your point.

Wholesale trends like this afternoon... no

Still trends were there before 5AM, just not wholesale, more suble to the trained eye.

Just need the shifts to stop-it's really I-84 now

More like even south of that.

Seriously?? You think they update maps that fast? That map has been up since early this A.M. They would have no reason to change it until they see more of a trend.

The trends have been obvious even before 5AM

Box not budging, yet

 

 

That is highly unusual for them to stay stern and firm. like that.

Just like some of those storms in the 80s lol 40 years later and although forecasting abilities have gotten so much better this just goes to show that they are far from perfect.

I could go back to the 1970's and say the same thing. Even today the models with their algorithms still can have a very tough time sort out all the variables that can happen mother nature. She is and perhaps always will be in charge of the final outcome.

It's slipping away from here but it's wrong .

Not so sure about that. It's tough to ignore its physics. It's a significant model with support from other models around it.

You don’t go from 12-18” to dim sun and no snow . It’s too close in. We are 12 hours away from snow starting 

She's starting to walk away.

It seems to me like its chasing convection. H7 looks good. Yes, I'm aware we don't live at H7.

Personally in all serious, i don't put tons of stalk either into depending on the H7 to get things done.

The Euro makes people dribble when they smile.

Never believed those strong storms, doesn’t fit the pattern at all.  Weak and south makes the most sense given pattern

The pattern for Decrmber and January were not weak and south for the most part.
