Nastiest of days. Pushing 1”

Was driving. Norway maple. We glad it gone.

Even a tree snapped on my way home. Damage.

Says the person who mentioned rain and clouds is seasons in seasons.

.75”

Legit nasty day with good rains and winds.

Rainiest day of the 3 day meh'easter. Go figure. CJ style.

I'll take that. Playing with dumbfoundation there, but there's some convergence near Maine to keep the cold locked in. I need to look at the euro seasonal.

Nice CJ occurring as Ray would say.

I'm not angry? Looks nice on satellite though. Why can't we get that?

This storm brought out some horrific forecasts. I mean a few days ago it looked like it could be a doozy and even I got on board. But by 08/00z models (especially euro) started sagging south and some inherent red flags that I had, came out. To get a good firehose you need to inflow and something to help lift that. We had some inflow(although sort of on the nrn edge), but I couldn't see a good mechanism to get the WAA isentropic lift. Even the GFS 850 theta-e progs had low theta-e air getting entrained in from time to time. It was also fairly uniform..no gradients or mechanism to generate lift with WAA processes. All in all I think it didn't help being on the nrn edge because this did sag south, but even the Cape and ACK have rains way lower than expected. If this were winter, I think precip would have been further NW as thermal gradients will dictate better WAA processes and precip that is more widespread. But seriously though.Just replace us with robots. If all we do is rip and read model progs and use zero intuition...what's the use. The field is becoming a joke.

The Perfect Bust.

Does this mean she is in the circle of trust? I totally forgot about that.

I’m certainly not one for the south either. Welcome back Diane.

Strongest winds seem now. Solid gusts near 40 easily.

Barely .25” total. That BOX map will be all time fail. At least lots of sticks down for some damage.

She’s not even going to work. She’ll be out in the snow like Winona Ryder in Edward Scissorhands....just twirling around in the dendrites.

I can’t even figure out some of those set ups where she got rain and even the cape got snow LOL. But good for her and hopefully she has a fun winter up there.

By the way, another thing that was brought to my attention about Logan. The dewpoint seem to be too low as well.If that indeed continues, then that tells me there may be something wrong with the instruments themselves.

Wow, good for Diane. From us saying glad we don’t live there, to us now saying wish we were there.

Great pics guys. Even down here on I-93 the colors have really popped.

850 theta e tells the story. Echoes getting eaten up near BOS.

Insert nerd laugh here.

PYM south look good. But BOS north seems to be on the line. Looking at GYX, that rain shield is not gaining latitude really. Look at 850 theta-e. Where is the WAA? if anything is dries out again this ftn north of the pike. In fact, best WAA doesn't come until it occludes and unravels tomorrow aftn.
