Snow growth is truly putrid, even underneath some passable banding now.

Growth has gotten way better up here in the last 30 mins or so. was very grainy for the first several hours.

cloudy with dim sun (not the chinese buffet)

You got nothing in that? 

Wow...I had 18" in Wilmington, but I think Methuen had like 5".

<5". i remember being able to see the dark clouds well to my south where it was ripping snow, while it was just cirrus overhead. took hours for the snow to come north

I'm not sure what it was this morning but it was cold.   Pup's breath was freezing on his fir during our morning walk to the waterfall.  

i hope his balls didn't freeze to the ice like Charlie in the movie Joe Dirt

i still have PTSD from all the cirrus i smoked in Jan 1996. hopefully this one is different-not so sure

First cut of snow totals I have is 3-6 west of I-91 and 6-12 east of I-91. I've got 12+ inside 495 and most of RI. 

DIT just smashed his laptop.

Just got done looking at the overnight runs, Yes this is a big storm, Yes there's going to be some decent accumulations for some here, But, The euro and i guess i would throw in the GGEM in there are the ones showing something historical, The others really are not and i'm sure there's going to be some rug pulling somewhere before its all said and done, Going to want to see other guidance start to look more like the euro from here on out, Regression is probably the worse thing you could see now as we are starting to get into the zone where models are not going to be making big changes, So carry on.

not feeling this one for up here. A couple days ago there was lots of mention of Boxing day as an analog, and if that's the case, well, I guess i will enjoy my 6"

cool, so you are predicting that it is going to be warmer than normal next Weds at like 7AM.

The details are still sketchy at 4 days out but wow the consensus. I pulled up just a few maps and it was all I needed to see. I couldn’t unsee it. The orange. The blinding orange.

unsee this

I don't see a coastal front getting near rt 128....its been several days since any solution has done that. 

I don't want to speak for @Zeus, but i believe he was referring to the relative screw zone part of your post

Wouldn't smaller and shallower freeze faster?

Lumber prices are nuts again. 2x4's back up to $8 each here. 

The price of softwood lumber has increased nearly 45% since September, per the data from the federal government. Other data suggests that the price mills are charging for lumber used to frame homes has tripled since August.

Rising prices are one problem, but volatility is another. Over the course of the pandemic, lumber prices have fluctuated dramatically. Between 1947 and 2019, the monthly change in the price of softwood lumber averaged 0.3%. Since January 2020, though, it has averaged 12%.

Not only is that the highest average monthly change over a two-year span since this data first started being collected in 1947, but it is nearly three times the previous record, according to the report.

funny you say that about 2x4s. i am doing a small project at my house, and needed a bunch of studs. I've not needed to buy lumber for several years, so i was shocked at the $5.99 sticker price for a 2x4x8'. I thought i got as much as I needed, turns out I need to buy a bunch more. ugh-there goes that paycheck!

I have a tripped planned to Jefferson NY this weekend with the lady and I'm really debating cancelling. If I go to NY and miss a once in a lifetime storm for RI I might jump off the Newport bridge. If I cancel and we get an average event I will surely be killed in my sleep. If I can score over a foot I might live. What's the likelihood this thing ends up further west and Charlestown RI ends up with another rainer?

it depends-east bay or west bay?

Winter storms are too frequent here to name them...and if you aren't following TWC all the time, you'd have no idea anyway, but most people do remember the date (or close to the date) that something happened. They aren't required to watch TWC to remember it either.

most people? no, only cyborgs like you remember the dates of every damn storm.

whenver anyone here throws out a date, i have to look it up on my spreadsheet to see what i got.

5 minutes ago, Baroclinic Zone said:

Yeah, I have no clue about named winter storms.  I haven't turned on TWC since the 1990s.

i had to google Juno to find out the date. the naming of storms is just plain dumb.

Does that get N Stream ingest? It actually jacks my area on the NARCAN with like 40"

that's a cute little sucker hole right over MHT/CON

Yup been snowing in Newport for 3 hours. Heavy accumulations. Glad I have AWD.

yeah but do you have winter tires or all-seasons?

Yup I live right on the Goffstown line, less than 2 miles from South Uncanoonuc. Every bit of elevation you gain west of the Merrimack Valley seems to make a difference.

i am on the other side of the "tracks" in Bedford, elevation like 200'-can see MHT from here. Got like 4" the other day

34 and sunny. nary a flake nor drop to be found

47 and sunny with no brown here. Just fired up the lawn thread as I did my first lawn work today pulling weeds under the deck.
