    Someone's kid home on February vacation made the maps at NWS today.

    I have 100’ of public sidewalk I’m responsible for cleaning. Note to self: next time, buy the house on the other side of the road, lol.

    I suppose this should solidify any remaining pack nicely...

    Does higher elevation in an event like this make it more likely to have freezing rain instead of sleet? In that there would be less cold air near the surface to allow a refreezing into pellets?

    It's a bonus when just enough freezing rain mixes in with the sleet to turn the slushy ice pellets into a solid mass. The main roads in Worcester are looking gnarly right now. Looking at the trees, we've been getting quite a bit of freezing rain here. I tried to get a photo out the window, but the screen is iced shut.

    Crash helmet time in Central MA--that sleet means business!

    After a period of sleet in Worcester, it looks like we have changed back to freezing rain...though much lighter precipitation than earlier this morning.

    Not all kids can access their education well remotely, and K-12 students have already experienced a significant social emotional impact from remote learning. On paper, it makes sense to have remote days count. In real life, it doesn't look like this is what is the right thing to do for students at the K-12 level.

    This turned to ice in Worcester at some point in the past 45 minutes. Surfaces are getting a glaze on them now.

    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
  13. wx_observer
    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.
  15. wx_observer
    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?
  16. wx_observer
    School closures, probably. I’m l ready hearing that it is expected to be a snow day.
  17. wx_observer
    Harvey just mentioned about 1-3” sleet. Better than getting it as all ice I guess…
  18. wx_observer
    We're getting the best snow of the day right now
  19. wx_observer
    RadarScope just gave that band a storm cell...
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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
  23. wx_observer
    This storm may have underwhelmed to the west, but with pics like that…it’s an epic storm regardless.
  24. wx_observer
    I’m a bit northwest, near Holden…Worcester has its fair share of near vertical hills for sure
  25. 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.
