eastfreetownma, is that band as heavy as it appears that's right over your head?

looks like the southern half of the route 24 corridor from fall river on up into taunton is getting pounded.  on the beach at taylor swift's house in westerly appears to be in a mega band as well.

there are some serious boundary layer problems occurring in southern areas that so far is hammering accumulations. All one has to do is scope out the local tv station live feeds, plus other web and tower cams and see the higher visibilities in these areas.  new Bedford continues to struggle with white rain meanwhile PVD has been getting solid, and bonafide moderate snow the past 45 minutes. I'm sure BOX is sweating after forecasting 19-20 inches in new Bedford and Hyannis.  They haven't issued their new forecast at this late hour and I'm sure they're deliberating.

anxious to see southcoastma's observation from 5 miles north of new Bedford.  downtown new Bedford along 195 is struggling to accumulate with continued white rain and high visibilities.

despite rock em sock em radar returns new Bedford is still struggling to switch over to all snow.  although surfaces are beginning to become covered.  PVD has gone over to all snow, moderate, accumulating on all surfaces. James has to call his bro at the Naval station Newport. Still white rain there.

surprising. PVD so far has nothing.  Goes to show the impact being 20 miles north of the ocean and 20 miles west of the bay can have.

So far precip rates have been underwhelming. This is March folks and the antecedent March 1993 airmass aint walking through the door.  It better start ripping when the sun comes up.

The radar has been deceiving.  Webcams and southern coastal obs show more rain than snow so far in areas where radar returns suggest its been snowing.

It's been raining for hours in these locations and along the south coast, although the rain has not been heavy.
