100% Incredible sunset colors backlighting towering CB with frequent crystal clear lightning, and otherwise clear dark blue sky… amazing I wish I could capture better My wife was yelling at me for wasting ice cream as I was frantically taking photos Another beaut… moonrise at Hampton Beach this weekend:

Man photos don’t do this justice and I wasn’t able to catch the best… Spectacular lightning with sunset colors

Extremely heavy here for a few minutes Back side looking from Coolidge Corner, with clear blue following it… A hint of a rainbow too:

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:

Fond memory on multiple levels... the turning point, Euro ~60 hrs prior... went from OTS to a retro for a few inches to a blizzard:

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"+

Actually decent 4-day-lead consensus EC / GFS / CMC for once

Healthier SWFE and that fledgling CCB keeps improving Widespread warning snows, would be SNE's largest storm of season so far

Earthquake? definite shaking in Fenway area

Wow... KBTR 211653Z AUTO 02010G19KT 1/4SM +SN FZFG VV004 M03/M06 A3063 RMK AO2 SLP370 P0010 T10331056 RVRNO

Beautiful night (photos below before deform band came through...) Looks like a beautiful white against bluebird sky now.... rushing to get kids out to sled, rare opportunity with no school or official work day! Congrats to South Shore folks who badly needed this. Looks like Boston reports made it to 5-5.5". We nickel our way back to yore, still a long way but we'll take it!

Happy for the South Shore folks, spreading the season wins Be careful out there, it's slippery AF, flash frozen layer underneath I'll make another measurement around 12-1am
