    Private schools, like St John's did have today as a remote day. The state has ruled that no remote days will count towards the 180 this year, so public schools won't do remote days.

    Why are so many winter storm warnings still up in MA? It doesn’t seem like the forecast meets criteria.

    Closings list is pretty long, for the day before anyway: https://www.wcvb.com/weather/closings

    A lot of QPF there in that area south of the snowfall line. Doesn't matter if its sleet or freezing rain, it's not going to be pretty if that pans out.

    That 2008 storm did take down a lot of the weaker trees, for sure. That was right around when the longhorn beetle showed up in MA—wonder if that storm slowed down or sped up the spread of the beetle with all the downed trees that got moved around.

    No thanks on the ice storm warnings. Would rather one of those fish falling from the sky events than an ice storm. That one we had in 2008 was the last one of those I ever need to see…in a lifetime. At least you can make snow cones with sleet…right?

    School closures, probably. I’m l ready hearing that it is expected to be a snow day.
  8. wx_observer
    Harvey just mentioned about 1-3” sleet. Better than getting it as all ice I guess…
  9. wx_observer
    We're getting the best snow of the day right now

    RadarScope just gave that band a storm cell...
  11. wx_observer
    Radar disintegrating a lot since 5pm, between that dry slot, and the western edge of precipitation collapsing. Enjoying that final band of heavier snow coming down in central MA. What a rapid wind down, unless I'm missing something.
  12. wx_observer
    If it is any consolation, I was thinking this too. I feel like I saw way more snow fall than what verified on the ground.
  13. wx_observer
    That band threading the needle between 495 and 290 is picking up intensity…looks like the most potent band over land right now
  14. wx_observer
    This storm may have underwhelmed to the west, but with pics like that…it’s an epic storm regardless.
  15. wx_observer
    I’m a bit northwest, near Holden…Worcester has its fair share of near vertical hills for sure
  16. wx_observer
    I’m not far from green hill…same thing here. Bigger flakes, low visibility, but less wind. The flakes are finally falling more vertical than horizontal.
  17. wx_observer
    If it’s gusts at least 35 mph each hour, Worcester would verify between 7:54 am - 3:54 pm. (Airport) https://w1.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KORH.html
  18. wx_observer
    Do gusts count, or does it need to be 35 mph sustained winds to meet blizzard criteria?
  19. wx_observer
    Riddle me this—why reduce the speeds on the turnpike from NY border to Framingham, but not east of there? Seems like the worst weather is east of there.
  20. wx_observer
    Radar is looking better in central ma—it looks like that gap between the bands just west of Worcester and at 495 is filling in.
  21. wx_observer
    Not sure if this was already posted—but 1:17 pm update still not backing down on totals
  22. wx_observer
    This is a pretty neat sat image…for both the double low, and the rippling of clouds between them. Will be interesting to see how that area evolves in the next few hours.
  23. wx_observer
    ORH right on the edge of one of those heavier bands—winds are picking up ahead of it. Hopefully keeps westward pivot!
  24. wx_observer
    Same in Worcester. I just went to the garage and had bare ground to 6” within a few steps of each other.
  25. wx_observer
    Not seeing updated maps yet from BOX. Sounds like they pushed higher totals further west though.
