My fiance is getting ready to walk to the bar with me in Adams Village. A little landmark and chill. @CoastalWx

Before and currently

It's so bad out I'm not sure I would recommend driving.

Will don't count out here. This is freaking insane right now. Makes the last storm look like child's play.

Well. This is the worst visibility I've had since 2015. Matches 2005. Wind is PUMPING now. Some of the heaviest snow I've seen period. Just like last storm. I'm getting obscene rates. Looks like over 4" an hour type stuff.

I have gone back and forth on this myself, but looking at okx reflectivity it does appear to be pivoting in to a north south band.

Ray if there was a safe way for you to come by my way right now, I would gladly invite you. Believe me.

I Do not enjoy your misery in the least, but you are very funny sometimes when it happens.

Ray is successfully moaning the band west it only needs another few miles.

I'm seeing both 95 and 90 shut down in areas

Yup. The band is getting close to rays doorstep.

Least surprising news ever.

My error

I think when this thing starts to vertically stack, Ray gets into the death band. You can see things moving slowly west again.

Exactly what I assumed, but I am already on my second blizzard beer and was too lazy to attempt to put that into words. LOL.

Interesting bend to the band there.

they adjusted snowfall totals

1045 AM Update... Minor adjustments in the latest update. Really tried to hone in on the impressive mesoscale band from roughly RI into SE MA extending to Cape Ann. Can kind of see where the two bands set up earlier per the SPC Mesoanalysis 850-700 hPa Fgen, but really only one band per current radar at this point as the one further west appears to have collapsed. Within this band we are getting snowfall rates of 1-4" per hour at times and it is here where the highest totals are anticipated. Thinking there could be some isolated 30+ inch totals within the band. Remainder of the forecast looks good and have just brought things in line with the latest obs.

As Scott pointed out, that drift is keeping us out for the time being. We'll see. I mean. It's still insanity out there.
