    Haven’t seen a more dismal (overall) background state for tropical activity since I was in middle school. MDR and Caribbean SST anomalies are the coolest they’ve been in years, subtropics are scorching, monstrous El Niño peaking intensity near late season.

    Let’s get a Pineapple Express of cutters dropping 2-5” (Wes Fri Sat) then a bigger coastal or two in the next few weeks. Pattern is ripe and we don’t have many weeks of winter left

    Some of the best rates yet in Arlington. Half an inch on the ground after just 20 minutes of shoveling. Praying that the newly formed band over BOS stays put for a few hours.

    Thinking of taking a strategic map, for BOS what’s an estimate for timing the peak of the storm? HRRR seems to think maybe in the ballpark of 8 AM?

    A few miles west of the city, we barely cracked an inch an hour ago. But the pace has picked up markedly the past half hour and the wind is howling

    I wasn't planning on pulling an all nighter but at this point I might as well

    I'm committed to staying up until the snow gets heavy because otherwise I'll be in a bad mood. Nowcast central

    Road still doesn't have any accumulation. Maybe 0.25" 3 miles NW of Boston

    Hasn’t even started snowing here yet

    Night ruined

    Pressure dropping at a steady 2mb/hr rate for the past 3 hours, went from 1000 to 996 according to SPC analysis. Around ~2mb deeper than the predicted timepoint

    Just a few last minute ticks North would make a world of difference in northern Greater Boston, holding out hope for some last minute ticks NAM and HRRR are showing a notable northern component later in the storms evolution that wasn't present earlier, this could be a good sign

    This is going to be a huge nowcast situation both for where the banding sets up and rots, but also the low pressure dynamics. All the higher end mesos and model runs yesterday show a stronger capture and slowdown, while the weaker ones shunt it east.

    That or they prepared the advisory maybe an hour ago. I can see it now.. in the studio high-fiving, when in comes Larry the intern. He’s running the distance, running for speed, busting his butt across campus with news of the rug of the century. One look at the koochie and papers are flying and people are yelling.

    I’m melting over anything less than 18”

    Way ahead of you. Vodka cran or a classic G&T?

    It's hard to fathom what winters like this are like for people who aren't weather enthusiasts. My good friend is pissed about the upcoming storm and is blowing a gasket over the prospect of shoveling out their spot, and I can't relate whatsoever. The amount of joy this hobby has brought me over the years is unreal. Learning about atmospheric science and forecasting, the excitement of tracking big storms, model watching and nowcasting - it's just so peak.

    Some of today’s runs have been showing a bit of a dry slot, especially as the storm really cranks up and starts shooting off to sea. That might come down to nowcasting, where it sets up and how early could be the difference between a blockbuster and just a large storm for some areas
  19. tiger_deF
    Oh yeah

    I already miss the frigid airmass we had for the late Jan snowstorm. One of the few times I've seen pre-storm flurries seriously accumulate. Get a low pressure system reeled to the west a little from what models are showing for this storm with that airmass in place and you immediately have a top 5 blockbuster. Plenty of cold air with this one but still solidly 10+ degrees warmer.
  21. tiger_deF
    This is the jinx equivalent of a tick east
  22. tiger_deF
    Getting PTSD from the last coastal we were tracking, one serious east shift from the next set of model suites could kill this outside of far east SNE. Crossing my fingers, I'm liking that this is starting from a point farther to the North
  23. tiger_deF
    As a red line commuter, it’s pretty stunning how badly the storm recovery has been. 25+ minute waits for most trains, constant delays, a total of two disabled trains just today. Ubers easily 2x the cost they would usually be. Another big storm would cause serious problems. Bring it on anyway
  24. tiger_deF
    This is giving me flashbacks to Hurricane Lee and Hurricane Melissa. Models shifting away farther and farther from shore, every minor West shift a sign things would turn around and they never did. It's tough being a tropical weather weenie in New England.

    Soon we'll be reduced to tracking westward movements on the JMA model
