    Okay, it's got my attention now...

    TVS heading this way. Always interesting to see what actually happens with cells like this. Usually it's much ado about nothing.

    Sunny now, but still very breezy in central MA. This wind today has been stronger than I normally see during the average t-storm. North of MA border looks feisty! Really impressive main line of storms, but not sure how much of this makes it into Central / Eastern MA.

    Skies are brightening up here. FWIW, there's already a tor warning in Western NY.

    A month out from my last frost date, and I just gave away the last of my backup starter plants. Fun times.

    So what does that look like in terms of surface winds? I'm in central MA and trying to figure out if I need to protect the veggie garden plants.
  7. wx_observer
    Just north of it, yes.

    Temps were borderline for ice here. You can tell by the amount of drippy icicles on everything, rather than a thicker radial coating.

    31F and light freezing rain. Must have gotten a batch of heavy freezing rain last night though. All the tree branches have that grey haze of ice on the branches, and my 7 ft holly bush is so heavy with ice that it's drooping halfway over.

    That's a pretty beefy band of precip just north of the pike west or Worcester. Could have some moderate icing if that all falls in as freezing rain when it gets here.

    31 F and pure freezing rain here. Ice is starting to accumulate on branches. Hoping we don't stay all ice. 10PM BOX maps have me at 20-30% chance of getting over .5" of ice accumulation.

    Down to 33F in Central MA...was 44 at midday here

    Sorry to be a buzzkill, but I'll take a hard pass on that much freezing rain.

    And this was with Cat 1 winds and without fully leafed trees. Not that it can get much worse for the Cape itself...but makes you wonder how further inland might fare in a Cat 2 hurricane when the trees are fully leafed out.

    Historic, indeed. https://www.wcvb.com/article/blizzard-prompts-boston-globe-management-to-call-off-printing-paper-for-first-time-in-153-years/70475083

    If he got stuck in the snow hole, we'll never hear the end of it.

    I'm right at the edge of the western edge of the death band, and the winds are really howling. Maybe the strongest so far.
  19. wx_observer
    At least the state was at least smart enough to pre-position a lot of resources down that way. Hopefully that helps with restoration.

    A bit short on the 35 mph sustained winds, but Worcester Airport is reporting visibility of .25 miles for 6 consecutive hours. I'm not far from there, and we've had consistent, moderate snow here. Not sure where the freezing fog is coming from. Maybe snow covered sensors?

    977 MB surface pressure at the dropsonde closest to the storm center. https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/recon/

    Gorgeous on GOES. That center is unbelievable!
  23. wx_observer
    Any idea how much further N/W the RI death band gets?
  24. wx_observer
    I have a traffic light .3 miles from me that isn't visible anymore. Visibility is waaaay down...maybe approaching blizzard conditions here.
  25. wx_observer
    Man, I hope the outage tracker website is wrong--it has almost 40% on the cape without power.
