26C north almost to the benchmark. That's why I was thinking warm core. Regardless, I'm surprised it's not even mention of worthiness to the NHC.

It looks like it is still warm enough to be a warm core storm that will transition as it moves north with the wind field expanding like Sandy did. But all that churning and slow moving is going to cool the surface. My niece is getting married on Friday afternoon in Newport in a fancy ceremony. I feel bad, but it might be interesting.

Warm core?

Prettymuch solid cloud cover over southern half of New England, but the sinking air produced a ribbon of clearing north of the mountains: https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G19&sector=ne&band=01&length=36&dim=1

0.5" in 20 minutes. Pretty impressive rates. That'd be 5" of snow.

Dang! Headed up to Thornton just for the night. Passing lane was closed at around exit 27, with tree in lane. Not sure if it was straight line or tornado, but missed it by about 15 minutes. No power.

R/S line appears to be around 2500' give or take.

Back door sea breeze just came through and dropped the temp from 85 to 75 in 30 minutes. It's actually refreshing.

It's actually closer to 0.75" here in Lowell, but there's probably 0.5" of sleet in there, so it's still going to have to get shovelled. I can't believe another crappy, cold, cloudy day. My forecast high is 32F.

Naah, it was mostly pingers. That's 90% crack.

Funny you post this. I'm lying in bed too lazy to get up. I looked at my webcam and guessed about an inch in Lowell. Checked the NWS map and the only post was Lowell reporting 1" (wasn't me), so I can stay in bed although I do have to pee. F'k it I'm up. Sucks getting old.

Cold is draining in from the NE. It's a mix of sleet and low level snow needles. Ground is covered for the most part (except part of the street). 32.0

flipped to sleet, 32.5.
