And that 24 was a cheap midnight high.
Right. Just an hour later I think it was down to 22.

BOS tied their record low max of 24F for the date.
It should be noted though that the old record low max was in 1880 at the old site further from the water. The 24F max temp was the coldest recorded in the month of November since the site was moved to Logan Airport in 1935.
Thanks for that update. That should have at least got it a mention in Don's list, as he had Trenton tying their record.

Low maxes just destroyed all the NE
Makes you wonder about that thermometer out at KBOS with all those coastal cities south of it reporting record low maximums, and not just by a degree or two.

Still looks good after the first few days of December on guidance. Looks like it could be real active.
12/05 most always seems to be a favorable time, and the 18z GFS may be starting to zero in on that.

Lol at the GFS total qpf by next Tue. Enjoy your snow while it lasts if that ever verifies.

Boston SSTs are running 2°F colder than last year for this date and the coldest since 2014, currently at 50°F. It should only get better after the arctic blast starting Wednesday. It won't matter much for these November storms around here, but it bodes well for the usual cliff hangers in December where a degree or two could make the difference, barring any unforeseen extended warmups.

Through 11/17:
BOS: -0.6
ORH: -2.3
PVD: -0.7
BDL: -1.9
All 4 a virtual lock for a subnormal November.
For those who believe in such forecasts, the Old Farmers predicted this area would be 4° above normal this month, lol. Not off to a good start this year.

We'll have to watch the stuff near ACY....that's the secondary push of the WCB....the GFS and some other guidance were shunting it east before reaching us.
I noticed that the winds were gusting to 38 mph there.

TWC official forecast for Brockton area is for 5-8 inches now. One of their winter wx experts feels that the cold air is going to be difficult to displace, even at the midlevels. Since Brockton is 15 mi SE of here, things should look good for my hood if this verifies.

The Outer Banks would be completely destroyed if the 0z GFS verified.

Yeah that was the winter....2009-2010. It still gives a lot of people PTSD about a -NAO despite what happened the next winter with a strong -NAO....then 2013 and now this March.
Ill say to wiz, confluence isn't a bad thing. It's only bad when it's so strong we get whiffed. But confluence helps with frontogenesis so you can wring out extra precip too...and on would-be rainers, it can force them underneath us for snow instead.
Yeah, I remember attending the Blue Hill Observatory 125th anniversary with my son in late January, 2010 on a brutal cold day here. Paul Kocin and Dr. Louis Uccellini were following the big storm hitting the mid Atlantic while they were giving their lecture.

Just shoveled the front walkway and measured 18 inches. That area is not subject to drifting like the driveway, so an accurate figure. Could have lost an inch due to compaction since it wasn't measured during the storm. Also, there is a band about to come through with another one now flaring up further west, so could add another 1 or 2 inches to that.

Shrubs are taking a hit.
One side of my long driveway is lined with about 20 5' global arborvitaes that are really hanging down. Will have to go out to brush them off after dinner. Happens this way in these heavy snowfalls.
-
Visibility here now 1/4 mile or less. Really dumping.
-
Just now, weathafella said:
Yes. I bet we end up with 16-18 after all.
The guy across the street snow blowed his driveway about an hour ago, and judging from the sides of the paths we already have over a foot here.

Legit pouring snow now.
Heaviest here now since this AM.

Yes...you can see it happening out by ORH now...but that is good for eastern folks to try and kep the party going into after hours
It looks like that band further west is consolidating with that death band, so there may not be much of a lull between them by the time it gets here.

Time for BOS to cash in now...looks like its finally getting there. That 128-495 zone just continues to get nuked
We're ripping now as that band has finally arrived.
-
7 minutes ago, ORH_wxman said:
495-128 band is just rotting and absolutely destroying a good chunk of interior E MA
Yeah, it's halted its E movement so that we can't quite get into the meat of that band. Just on the edge.
-
4 minutes ago, ORH_wxman said:
495 band has temporarily stalled again...you can see the west edge bulging back.
But the east edge has finally made it here and things are ramping up again.

We are in a screw hole here right now.

No caution flags from anyone tonight. Apparently nothing can go wrong.
Two storms ago we were all waiting for the rain to turn to snow. It never happened down here. Those waiting now for a major change for the worse (much less snow) will also be disappointed.

While the 12km run really went nuts - not much change from 18z to 00z on the 3km run.
The QPF totals were better though in E MA, SE MA and the Cape.

And after this unusual cold spell for November, anything approaching climo will seem like a torch to many, lol.
