I can't recall an event where I've seen it switch back and forth between rain and snow so frequently. It's mixing rain and big flakes right now. The ground is still beginning to coat interestingly enough 

Can't seem to commit to the flip here on the RI S coast. It's been flopping between rain and snow for the past hour. Currently all rain

Still has not flipped to straight rain here in S RI. Hope that's a good sign for some of you further north

Charlestown RI

My partner left for work about an 90 minutes ago. The spot under her car is covered with around a half inch of sleet

When you smell the taint is when you get crushed with those 2 per hour unstable rates. Helluva winter storm incoming 

Is the extreme S coast expected to see any of this? I'm not sure how quickly to expect a flip to rain

Closing in on 5 inches. Super fluffy now compared to what fell earlier 

Pounding sleet at the moment. Looks like I might pick up an inch if it flips soon enough? 

Edit: 

That would make this my third? biggest event of the season? I am awful at keeping track. I only remember the big ones 

That eastern band has been ripping over my head for hours now. I wish I knew how to measure this stuff. I estimate around 14-18 inches? Waist high drifts all around and a 7 food drift right in my driveway

Editing to include a pic of the towers 

Zero let up here. Caught this pic during a crazy gust

Strongest winds yet at the moment. Hit a couple gusts over 70mph no doubt

Forgot the sarcasm font lol. Was a fun place to work though.

Lol after rereading your comment I look like a doofus and your joke is pretty obvious. I imagine you had some interesting experiences there 

Narragansett. Vis dropping below 100ft during gusts

Narragansett RI

I'm less than 500 feet away from there lol

Worked there for a few years after high-school. The amount of warm gas expelled creates the RI screw zone. 

No shit? I never knew that. That's pretty wild.

My stubborn neighbor is doing some shoveling. Lol. What exactly is the point. It's like raking leaves during a tornado.

What's his wife like?

Visibility is less than 300ft right now. Absolutely mad

That's the story with this one for many. Even back here, the blowing snow is impressive.

It makes for a hell of a ride regardless of the outcome. I took a brief step outside and actually had snow blow up my shirt lol

Poor rhode island lmao must be pissing their pants. That should fill in.

Lol that's the way it always goes. Although I'm not sure it's been as bad as it looks on radar. Then again it's really hard to tell how much snow is falling vs how much is blowing off the ground with these 50+ mph gusts. It's gone to whiteout in the past couple of minutes and winds are increasing 

Crushing here as we start to get hit from that band. I personally prefer heavy drifting because it makes it nearly impossible to tell how much snow has fallen and a lot easier to appreciate what is there. Lots of knee deep drifts to enjoy!

Streets are coated here in Narragansett

Not sure how that reflects relative to 12z, but banding enhancement certainly looks to be appearing with that “bump” in precip field. 

A possibility of the once in a millennia chance for us Rhode Islanders to jackpot?

I love the precision...7.1, 11.9, 25.8.
I'm gonna hold BOX to all of those numbers!

Lord I hope this is right 

What is the wind potential look like for coastal ri? I'm getting a bit nervous about losing power in these temps
