With temps dropping pretty quickly overnight is ice a concern on the roads? Or will it dry out pretty quick with the wind. Mostly wondering for south of Boston area

Each run is creeping north. Should be a nice snowy morning at the very least 

How far north is it reaching?

I know most aren’t interested in nuisance stuff but is Thursday night looking like anything for Eastern ma? I’m sick of this winter too but even a few inches takes some planning for snow removal operations so any chance interests me lol

Focus is definitely about to shift to eastern new england if it already hasn't. 

You think?

I bet 1-3 creeps south by tomorrow morning.

That’s like what I was saying are these numbers still possible or are they just slowly letting people down/making the next shift deliver the bad news 

All the tv Mets still have the Foxboro area in a 3-5 inch range are they just working their way down to nothing gradually to let people down slowly or is that still a possibility In that area?

NWS Boston updated its Winter Storm watch….was 4-10 inches yesterday and today it’s 4-8….brought down top amounts. Wonder why…..hmm


.

I noticed that but they also upped the amounts on the map to 8-12

What are we looking at for onset and end times now ?

I disagree. I'm just west of Hartford and I'm still in the under inch range on the map. We already had just shy of 2 inches from the event today. And if we do get some more tonight that would just add to the totals.

Same thing for my area

Sharon/Foxboro area got a slushy coating around noon time. I notice nws basically has .2 for the total storm accumulation as most new channels have that area in 1-3 2-4. Curious how tonight will work out, going off nws we basically won’t be getting anything? Have a feeling they are incorrect and too low in areas in the boston-providence line that are away from the coast

Are we still expecting some accumulation overnight or has that faded ?

It's a very tough call...real PITA storm. I am banking on that area stealing a couple to a few inches based on the slight elevation and being far enough south to get the good lift. Will I be surprised if they get next to nothing?

No.

I hear ya very tough call, I’ll be trying to keep up with the posts here to see how it plays out. Tough call as always for calling out plows. Thank you for the efforts

How confident are you in your amounts in the Foxboro area? Comparing to the box map they have close to nothing

Yeah that seems decent. I think even on bad solutions you’ll limp to 2-3” of crapola but you have some upside if you can stay cold enough aloft. Your area is pretty tough. If I was forecasting still for Union I’d be telling the dude “yeah you are probably gonna need plows but it could be 2-3” or 8-9”….stay tuned”

What are your current thoughts for the norton/Mansfield area, most maps have us right on the edge of 2-4/1-3 but the box map seems very unimpressed with this area. How much change do we need to see for this to bump up a little in our area. Havnt had much time to follow along with this one as I usually do so I’m trying to figure out where we sit

Nice band rotating south

 

Is that going to keep going south? Any stickage exptected I didn’t know anything was coming today 

Seeing a lot of different things as far as the start time goes. Whats the timing look like for the snow to start and also switch over to mix/rain. I’m in the Foxboro area

Are these squalls expected to reach the Foxboro, Mansfield, norton area ?

Could be a nice period of moderate to heavy snow over eastern areas looking at this loop. Filling in too south of HVN

 

Do you think that will make it to the norton ma area as snow or is the mix going to take over there

I think a few inches there is possible. 

Thank you. It seems like it could go either way there. Nothing worse than having a full crew come in and it’s just raining lol

Anybody have any thoughts on norton overnight tonight. Have to make a call on plow/shovel crews and really trying to avoid having everybody in place and its just mix/rain all night that doesn’t accumulate.

Not sure I can think of a storm anytime recently where a realistic outcome for me is 2” or 10”. Wild 

What do you think for norton? Same idea 

Looking at the map box just posted they have a very  tight gradient anywhere east of the Foxboro Mansfield area. Their map goes to from 6 inches down to almost nothing right in that area

The roads here are a disaster. Light snow mixed with freezing drizzle, you could ice skate on 302

I meant to put in my post I’m just south of Boston, norwood Foxboro area 

Do you guys think the roads and parking lots will dry up before the temps drop tonight. Still very wet out right now. Trying to figure if we will need to treat parking lots in the early am or if it will be dried up
