Do we get a 2nd round of this later or is this it?

It's seems like the 2nd round/cold front in these setups always underperforms compared to the AM warm front.

41F. Moderate rain. Cranston, RI. The spring peepers were out yesterday.

Well this was an odd sight… are the seagulls on to something? 

There's a great paper "Seabirds Perched on Big-Box Stores Prior to East Coast Storms." 2017?

I'll dig up the link, but the premise is you can approximate the QPF by multiplying the number of perched birds x .04

 

Meanwhile, somewhere in the Atlantic

Here for the RI geography throwdown. —oh yeah, and the 4 inches of snow.

The only RI map you need in winter: 

Not a huge impact away from the coast. Looks like southern RI got roughed up a bit.

• 1.24" total rain
• A couple of hours of 25-35 mph sustained winds
• max gusts in upper 40s
• breezy with some drizzle rn

Maybe one of these centuries the usa will behave like it's not a colonial outpost and begin burying power lines.

Itll make everywhere look much more attractive too. I wouldn't tolerate such shitty cable management inside my computer, or behind my tv, but the usa does worse on a national scale. It's absolutely repugnant.

Maybe they're waiting to invest in the evolution of grid tech—microgrids or whatever's next.

Finally starting to show up on grass. Not expecting much with this but I'm heading out to sachuest with the family and a walk in the snow and loving the look. Kid is updating me constantly with how much it's snowing on his own one to ten scale. He says it's a 3 and almost a 4, just like him and I can't argue with that.

Sounds like a solid rating system. Have there been any Snowy Owls in Sachuest this year?

Snow just started here.

Yeah, that 3" of cement has pretty much melted here too. 

It's actually snowing at a decent clip down here.
