Wasn't sure if there was a NSFW tag needed on this one.

The weenie tag works!

Saw green flashes in Canton around 10:20pm. Not sure if something touched down nearby, but the winds got intense for a minute there.

Now imagine if this was May/June

One of the few EF5 tornadoes that have struck Michigan happened on April 3rd, 1956 in Hudsonville.

Meanwhile dtx doesn't even involve itself in the standoff. They just stand in the corner laughing cause they know they not issuing warnings regardless.

 

Interesting track and evolution on the 12z nam. Gets it down to 998, and closes off, which would setup banding somewhere in MI. I wonder why it doesn't keep tracking north and instead moves east? Confluence to the north?

DTX is the dude hitting the pipe while the other two offices go at it.

34 with a cold rain. The rain last night took the snow off the trees so no power problems here.

Was pleasantly surprised with the amount of snow we had in Southborough over the weekend, despite the changeover to rain! Heading back to Michigan now to hopefully some good snows.

Yes I am just lost in the wilderness -- it wasn't a critique of your metaphor. Bleach is a harmful chemical solution that only serves one purpose. Carbon is the basic building block of life. It's defined as: "the life-giving element." 

You're right that one of us is lacking even a basic understanding of this stuff

Oceans absorb excess carbon dioxide, which disrupts the chemical equilibrium and leads to acidification. The Permian-Triassic extinction event of 250 million years ago, in which 90% of all life on land and in the sea perished, was a result of ocean acidification. There’s already a higher concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than the Earth has seen in 4 million years, and it’s shot up drastically in the past 50 years and it’s still increasing.
 

Case closed. That’s all I’m going to say on the matter.

Ah, I see your understanding of how metaphors work is just as comprehensive as your understanding of science.

Sunspots. That's it. It's a sunspot cycle. And it can be back-tested for thousands of years. You aren't a weather enthusiast. You're a socialist conspiracy theorist. Cope harder. The name-calling surely wins people over to your ridiculous assertion that it is man, and not the sun, which drives changes in climate

Yes, adding billions of tons of man-made gasses into the atmosphere per year and gradually changing the composition and viscosity of where our weather forms has no impact. The sun is the only thing that matters! You can safely add a couple teaspoons of bleach to the glass of water you drink and it’ll be fine, because all that water originates from the faucet that you’ve been safely and reliably drinking from for years. 

And thank God we have the plucky band of  oil tycoons funding Fox News hosts to expose the malicious claims made by thousands of worldwide climatologists. I mean, clearly these climatologists got into the field not for their passion, but for the 5-digit incomes that leads them to a life of extravagant middle class luxury. Oil tycoons on the other hand lead a very modest and simple life off of the millions and billions they make, so it’s not like they’ve got a vast amount of wealth to potentially lose. 

And it’s just sheer coincidence that 3 times as many record high temperatures are broken per year than record cold temperatures, or that 10% of all weather stations, the vast majority of which are over 100 years old, in the U.S. had their all-time record temperatures broken in 2021.

Nope. Definitely a socialist conspiracy.

Days start getting shorter in 9 weeks.  

Good. Monday’s snow melted way too fast because of the sun angle.

still 22-24" otg here and extremely slow to melt even with the rain.  It just absorbed it all.  Got to be 9-10" liquid locked up in the snowpack.

Damn, that’s impressive! How does that amount of liquid compare with previous years?

Well anything is possible, but how likely was it really for a 125-year storm to occur, especially with a synoptic mess of a system? Plus, since we've all been tracking weather, how often have we seen storms unravel (slowly or rapidly) before their onset?

We've been getting 100-year floods more frequently and winter storms have also gone up in precipitable values. Statistically speaking, probably no longer once-a-125-year event.

The GFS performed terribly with the Boston blizzard. Too far SE and too dry.

torching out there this morning

Yeah it seems a lot of places will probably start off as rain/mixed. 

Like my grandmother used to say, sometimes you have to sniff the taint to get the goods. 

I seem to recall that the RAP did the best with the Boston blizzard a couple days ago out of all the short term models, while other models were trending drier. 

I just experienced 2 feet of snow in Boston with this blizzard, guess I’m going back to Michigan with the possibility of another 2 feet.

You post measurements, show rulers/ tape measures and then they still call you a liar . It’s part of the game I suppose .

 

How is your area faring?

I’m staying in a hotel at the Boston seaport, and it’s been near whiteout conditions for a couple hours at this point. Crazy stuff.

That’s as good as an admission as any that you are, because I didn’t specify just who SnowBoy was.

I agree. Dude’s been weenie-ing everyone’s posts. Reminds me of a certain SnowBoy user from a year ago.

Boston is going wind up with a #1 all time snowfall from this and people are ready to jump off a bridge because the NAM isn't printing 35-40" anymore. That was expected BTW. You people are out of your minds.

What do you mean by “you people”?

Stepped away for some work and the train wreck came as expected, right on time. The euro just might finish it and send everyone outside of EMAATT off the bridge. 

I flew here for this storm. All I ask is if people are jumping off bridges, let me go first. 

I was thinking about staying at a hotel on the coast to experience the strongest winds, but it’s beginning to look like there’ll be very strong winds inland too?

Yes, the end of the world is coming…a “bomb cyclone” with “hurricane force winds”…let’s create crazy adjectives to describe it and build hype and stoke fear.  It’s a substantial storm, but so was 78, 93, 96, 15 and so on.  It will snow, we will plow, and move on…

The headline said with the “power of a hurricane” which 960 mb clearly is. This qualifies as a rapidly deepening storm so bomb cyclone applies, and in each of those years, unprepared people died, some probably as a result of jaded people like you going, “meh.”

With that said, no one but *you* said the end of the world was coming. You’re literally overhyping the media hype.
