Let’s hope this isn’t true… https://studyfinds.org/winter-weather-moving-west-how-the-polar-vortex-rewriting-americas-cold-map/ “LOWELL, Mass. — Americans expecting the worst winter weather to slam the East Coast might need to look northwest instead. A major study spanning four decades reveals that severe winter storms are shifting away from traditional snow belt regions toward the Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies, potentially changing where Americans should brace for brutal cold and heavy snow…” ”According to the study, published in Science Advances, the first pattern “features an upper-level vortex displaced toward western Canada and linked to northwestern U.S. severe winter weather.” The second “features a weakened upper-level vortex displaced toward the North Atlantic and linked to central-eastern U.S. severe winter weather.”

Amazing feed, just keeps going into Boston metro... another rumble heard at 12:30am looks near Hingham

Thunder in Fenway area

This is really impressive LLJ taking its time lifting north Heaviest of day right now, hoping we hear some thunder Love the activity in here… if only this was January

Theories? Easily audible so I checked FlightAware. Looks like a systematic screen. This one ~9pm Monday March 3 took off from Hanscom: A 2nd one ~11:30pm took off from Northeast Philly:

Congrats! I think most here were thrilled not to see a 3peat!

~5-5.25" in Brookline I love the fresh stark white on everything

Take a 3peat tonight to the bank?

Look at Feb 9 0z HREF… 3z/4z RAP and 3z/4z HRRR, that’s go-time guidance… even short term mesos failed horribly here in handling dry air, had it snowing in east at least through 7am

Brookline: Great snowgrowth and heaviest rates of season, has to be at least 1”/hr RAP HRRR HREF look good esp NOP and NEMA

Warnings up This degree of model consensus seems so rare lately

Been a while since we've had a no-drama significant storm... Regionwide 6-10" would probably accurately cover almost everyone outside Cape/southcoast

Just saw this from Box, sorry if posted earlier... Are they relying on ratios for such widespread 8-12"? Solid event incoming for a change... most guidance supports widespread 4-8", maybe some spots 8"+
