Warwick WX

Excited for the chase, but my upper back and neck are wincing from the potential of MOAR SNOW REMOVAL each new run...

I only know that the my local airport's official precip amount is 1.43".

Wind-driven stingers out there right now. Ended my shoveling just in time to avoid face damage.

Oh my, I am seeing a nice blob about to head onto land from Block Island. Going to be major dumpage here in an hour or so...

There was a local contest to win gift certificates for exact snow amounts, and my final call for PVD airport was 16.6 inches. Well Cotton, we'll see if it pays off...

That channel 7 weenie is trying to find paydirt via the three-way (RI/CT/MA border).

Yeah if debris is going that high, who knows how far laterally toward your friend it can be tossed? Nevermind if the funnel expands...

To put it on a bumper sticker, Peace River = Peace Out. You can also let him know if the surge doesn't get him, the river length of 106 miles and drainage basin of 1,367 sq. mi. per wiki will carry a crap-ton of rainfall/runoff at a great enough depth to threaten flooding from the inland side.

Visiting my bro on Saturday just north of NYC I was telling him 1-3 inches for him and 4+ inches for me. Looks like we are both staring a 10 spot in the face. To be fair, I am more subject to a snow hole and he may actually out-perform my total.

Alas I went the other way right after my post, huge snowflakes turned to rain. But now right back to sleet trying to flip to snow again. Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

Pounding across the pond in Warwick. Bummer it is mixing over there.

I much prefer your floor of 5" than BOX's floor of 2" IMBY.

Quick thoughts appreciated for more a mundane matter, now that it appears this is not a life or death storm for New England: My wife has an all-weekend vendor event on the north RI/MA border tomorrow, and they are apparently not going to postpone Saturday (the flyer says "rain or shine"). However, we've had multiple canopy tents destroyed from wind in the past and don't feel like taking another $120-150 hit from destroying another. The forecast for the area of the event says NW wind 20-30mph. A constant 20mph wind is probably ok and towards the upper limit of what we'd deal with. How likely is it for gusts 30+ mph in interior RI/MA? The storm is weakening but I'm always concerned with the "expanding wind field" these transitioning storms tend to bring. TIA.

Hope I'm wrong but unfortunately I think that dry slot in SE CT is going to pivot right when conditions are there for a changeover, then the snowfall will finally pick up just after noon.

Good sign so far is it has held at 39 deg in my backyard. We'll see if it returns to 43 at 7am as forecast or we stay under, and maybe this will give away a flip before 4pm. As it is, our forecast flip has moved up from 6pm to 4pm. A few more hours of pounding gets us closer to 4-6". OTOH, the dreaded RI snow hole awaits to screw us right after the changeover from rain...

Sign me up for a flip near midday tomorrow, that would be best case for RI. I'm expecting more of a late evening flip with 3" or so of paste, melting within 24 hours.

Trying to hold on to the edge of the band but intensity is definitely lighter, as well as a drop in wind. We were absolutely cranking from 10-1.

Sorry, saw this late. Will do...

There's a decent coating here.

Suitable beer for the occasion after storm prep:

I'm literally listening to Harvey on the retro broadcast of Channel 7's coverage of the Blizzard of '78 from the weekend after, on Youtube. The amusing part was the anchor cut Dukakis short from telling too long a story to get to a young Harvey. He mentioned a "dual center", one near the surface and another high up in the atmosphere, contributing to the strength of the blizzard. I'm no expert but maybe someone could clarify, but does that sound similar to the "dual lows" some of these models are producing?

Our self loathing.

Great, we have a surprise birthday party for my SIL reserved at a club Saturday night here in RI. What is the % chance this thing can go forward? 5/40/80%?
