Absolutely ripping out now. Patriots laying a turd is putting a damper on me enjoying this storm though. 

Really coming down now. 

Someone is having fun with mPing. Can see where the rain snow line sets up nicely. 

It’s really not snowing that hard here but still seems to be adding up quick. Pretty good ratio stuff up my way. Was playing with the dog outside and wasn’t easy to make snowballs for her to catch. 

Snow rates really dropped off here. Expecting a lull then things to really pick up in about 2 hours. Eyeballing about 2 inches.

Looks good Interior Essex county through northern Middlesex should jack with this one. 

.25" sitting at 28.9f and moderate snow, starting to add up nicely. 

Feeling good about my spot in the Merrimack Valley for this one

Radars evolving nicely for this front end thump. Surprised I'm forecast to get 12 inches here starting in a few hours but am still under a WWA. Guess it's a duration thing but can't say I've ever seen that before.

Got to run to the store though, moved this summer and realizing I have no idea were my snow brushes are for the cars.

This is what ENE climo does to snow chances Dec 1 to 4

 

And people here were complaining about heated walkways at ski areas...imagine they started clearing the parking lots with this thing. 

Anyways our eventual system is impressive on the west coast, not every day you see a 974mb pressure in OR in November.

Ha, I doubt it. Heat does not kill more than winter. Accidents and fatalities in vehicles directly related to winter driving alone would probably surpass all heat-related deaths.

Believe what you want but the statistics don't back it up.

And a lot of people die in the heat and high dews that you crave. 

Not to mention with the improved lead time and warnings we have now it thankfully makes it harder to obtain a fatality toll like 78. Heat definitely kills more, but it's a lot harder to put a number on it.

At least NWS Nashville is having fun with the upcoming cold pattern. The units of panic is a nice touch.

Nothing like having a second meltdown over someone else telling you already had one. Just to funny. 

I'll be happy if I see any flakes this week and will wait to see if we can cash in early next week. Would rather see the slopes get the goods this time of year anyways even if that means rain for SNE. 

TOR warning for Philadelphia. Overall though surface obs across the mid Atlantic aren't to impressive. Lot of gusts in the 40s.

This thread is pretty funny. You'd think think this is the biggest wind event of this century skimming through the posts. I'm expecting 45-50 gust here and short lived. We will survive.

Quite the sever outbreak across OK AND TX ongoing...that Dallas cell 

 Mesoscale Discussion 2091
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0908 PM CDT Sun Oct 20 2019

   Areas affected...North Dallas Metropolitan Area

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 676...

   Valid 210208Z - 210245Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 676 continues.

   SUMMARY...Tornado is currently ongoing across northern Dallas
   County. The environment is supportive of a strong tornado, with
   additional tornadoes possible downstream in the next hour or so.

   DISCUSSION...Recent radar signatures from KFWS reveal an intense
   supercell characterized by a 0.5 degree rotational velocity between
   60 and 65 kt. A tornadic debris signature has also been noted on
   recent radar scans. This signature is occurring in an environment
   characterized by STP between 3 and 4. Previous signatures within
   similar environments produced damage-estimated wind speeds from 120
   to 160 mph and a confidence is high for an intense tornado.

Power out here in west Methuen. 

Rocking here in North Andover. Was surprised to see a few power flashes though, I guess the wet ground and foliated trees aren’t helping. Impressive storm on sat images. Down to 988mb here.

I have the most stupid question. NWS Taunton/Norton MA radar is out. Can I find a radar that is operational for this area?

26 pages deep, if this were mid winter almost no one would give a hoot. I think we (most of us) are bored and waiting for winter, i know i am.

To be fair a 975mb low doesn’t cut inland across the state often in winter either. Lack of mixing is inhibiting this from being a more significant event.

Where was the 60 gust in NJ? Wasn’t it along the coast? Looks like some 60+ knot pixels passed through the circled area 

 

Highest I see on mesowest is 43 at Atlantic City.  Looking good on the IR floater now.

edit: down to 992mb there as well. Starting to bomb.

I enjoyed the segment and thought it was pretty funny. I never got why the general public relies on Accuweather so much and I've always have tried to steer my family and friends straight to the source (NWS). Joe Bastardi used to work for them right? Would have been funny if he incorporated that into the segment as well.

FWIW BOX is going with 35-50 kt gusts on the coastal plain right now. I don't think that's an unreasonable forecast.

These never seem to work out here in NW Essex county however. I'll pretty much always take the under on these events for wind in these parts. October 29-30 2017 was an exception here though, LWM gusted to 51mph before it stopped reporting. I would guess we had a few 65/70 gusts that night. Surprisingly that event doesn't get talked abut much as it was an interesting setup. Those big pines were snapping all over that night.
