Nice. Gonna have to hit the sack soon. Should be fun drive in the morning taking cat to vet

1.5", That's in a little over an hr, Been steady 28-32dbz rates.

Good luck. Jealous at your 7" but losing power long term is no fun

Generator hooked up.  Heavy snow   7"!  Trees taking a beating.  This might be a very long outage.  Don't have too much gas for the portable generator but hopefully trees are not down across my road.  

Closing in on 1.5"

Mine is busted. Getting new part tomorrow. Not greatest timing

What a garbage performance. It had rains to IZG, meanwhile I'm wondering if I have to fire up the snowblower in the morning.

Any thoughts on whether we stay all snow on the hill?

Just flipped to wet aggregates in North Deering. That's a little earlier than forecast (I thought a brief flip in PWM was possible later tonight).
HRRR noticeably colder now. 

Rip fest ATM.

My vp2 is 14 years old. Going to replace it in the spring

Heavy snow,  lights flickering.  15 year old (plus) Davis might be time for a new one!  I just put out another thermometer that is accurate.  I'll know soon if temp is right
 

It's not too far away

That may be its extent if you started as snow, You look to stay, But, It may change after you get pounded overnight.

Is the r/s line supposed to move inland some overnight? It's maybe 5mi away right now

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure tracking near the New England coastline will spread
precipitation across the area tonight. Expect significant snow
accumulation in the mountains and foothills while southern and
coastal areas stay mostly rain. The heavier precipitation moves
out on Tuesday as the low lifts northeast. Some lingering snow
showers are possible on Wednesday as the core of upper level low
pressure drifts across the region. The next significant storm
system will arrive this weekend and could bring more wintry
precipitation or rain for Sunday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...


&&

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT/...


&&

.LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
Upper level low moves across the area on Wednesday and as such
we can expect some more widespread light snow showers crossing
the area. This will not be limited to just the mountains, though
accumulations should be minor especially as the temperature
will frequently be above freezing.

Although we do get in the cooler northwest flow behind the
departing low, the cold air with this system largely dissipates
over the Midwest while the air moving into our area is more of
wrap around cool/moist air. So expect high temperatures to be
near or slightly below normal while low level moisture keeps low
temperatures a bit above normal.

High pressure drifts across on Friday with the possibility of a
weak shortwave trough crossing Friday night. This could bring a
round of light snow to the entire area, though there is not a
lot of lift with this so accumulations will be minor.

The next more significant storm system to affect our area will
be a large and slow moving cut off low tracking through the
southern jet stream and lifting into the Great Lakes this
weekend. Surface low pressure will form out ahead of it and
track northeast, though the timing and evolution of this is
still in question. For us this looks like a warmer scenario
being on the east side of the trough. However, it could evolve
as a rain to freezing rain scenario depending on how cold the
low level temperatures are.

&&

.AVIATION /20Z MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Short Term...

Long Term...Expect improving conditions Wednesday and especially
Thursday, with some snow showers Wednesday afternoon bringing
more variable conditions. Friday should be VFR for most areas
but could see some light snow arrive Friday night.

&&

.MARINE...
Short Term...

Long Term...Northwest flow behind the departing system does not
really kick in until Thursday with 25 to 35 KT gusts possible.
This decreases as high pressure moves by on Friday.

lava rock, what city/town are you in in Maine 

Was snowing lightly while driving through the fog earlier. Eeery feeling

Look forward to your pics. Dont be surprised if you get TSSN

Mods can move the obs thread if they want. I felt like I was taking one for the team

Well said, and I totally agree – there are even fewer posters now and/or they post less frequently, so the NNE thread moves at a very manageable pace.  I’m not sure if we really need a whole thread for the 5 or 6 of us that will be documenting/discussing this event.

“You got bullied into that courtroom, Danny, by everyone. By Dawson. By Galloway. Sh!t, I practically dared you. You got bullied into that courtroom by the memory of a dead lawyer.”

This is the moment the NNE folks can stake their ground here. They need to overcome the fear of tyrannical SNE rule and make the thread. If they can overcome this fear, this moment will be remembered by NNE weenies decades from now. 

Done.

I'll start this thread. Be nice to pull the low back towards and off the coast a bit. Any chance of this occuring? Either way, going to be an interesting gradient driven storm. Hoping our little hill nets us the higher end of the totals. Skiiing is going to be fantastic for Nov standards. 

So are NNE peeps not worthy enough to get our own thread for tomorrow's event?
