We warned the WOR this was going east so we was prepared. 

And thank you for that.  I have no illusions.

Going to head up from Philly Friday barring any more shifts east. Probably somewhere in SE MA, cape idk. Always enjoy my time up in NE. Was up there for 2013 and 2015, let's bring it home.

Ps. Sorry for the jinx 

A boat off of Chatham with binoculars.

Yup, like a girl you loved who left you for a boyfriend in Bermuda.

Sox fan here. I have always sort of felt more of the 'tri-state' vibe than a New England vibe here near Bridgeport.

For sure.  You can jump a train in the 'Port and be in the city in 35 minutes.  To Boston, probably takes 2.5 hours.  That's one of the main drivers of a demographic's metro allegiance.

Imagine if non-weather people could just observe us over the last 3 days

Usually I say it in response to something my wife has done, but it holds up well here.  "If aliens came to Earth and saw us doing this, what would they think?  For sure, they'd turn around."

It the NAM scenario holds for the rest of the suite, TWC is also going to have a lot of egg on their face after hyping this all day today.

Where they gonna send Cantore if the NAM verifies?

RT 25 is actually where MLB considers the division between Yanks territory and Sawx territory when it comes to broadcast policy and blackouts.

That's interesting. But even east out to New Haven, I think you're probably 50/50 in terms of fan base.  That's just my anecdotal experience.

This NAM is an almost poetic account of everything that could go perfectly wrong with something pretty good.

And even in that, there is beauty.

The Greenwich area of Fairfield county was once part of NY. The more you know.

I think the majority of us folks west of Rt 8 associate more with metro NY.  East of that, you get the New England/Boston association.  At least that's how it plays out with sports.

With how this lame a$$ winter has been, I'll be happy with 12"

And I'll save you the joke.

I'd rather 6"... but twice.

Everyone is IMBY at the end of the day.  

100%.  I'll admit it.  I don't GAS if Boston gets 2 feet.  I want it in MY backyard.  And when it doesn't happen, I don't feel any happiness.  Just being honest.

Guys like this can talk.  And that's about it.

In all seriousness though I think this is a perfect example as to why forecasting should never go private. When you have JB posting irresponsible garbage like he did but it becomes the front line of forecasting that isn’t good.

 

The NWS was pretty conservative and in point this whole time.

A really stupid population is what keeps really stupid private enterprises going, rather than causing them to fail. (And government run agencies are no different, probably even worse in the sense there is no incentive.)   I'm all for private.  But it becomes hard when you have a population of idiots.  Freedom requires intelligence. Otherwise, we get massive government intrusion to "take care" of the idiots. And we're all negatively affected by that.

I’m at the southern tip of Newport right now. The ocean looks like boiling water and there’s already water and seaweed splashing up on the roads. No sign of TWC lol.

That Cantore should be popping up shortly.  Look for the big fans and water cranes.

Why would the southeast coast have a lower probability than just inland?

Less trees.

Massive forest highest density in history of record. Multiple years of ravage by Gypsy moths, ash borer. Leaf growth this year is off the hook due to so much rain. 

Yes, the Ash trees tend to be "road liners" as well.  My neighbor runs a tree service company and he said 50% of the power line damage he saw last year was from the diseased Ash trees.  Gotta get them down.

I mean that literally lol. With the feet sticking out toward NC. Or a fetus perhaps. 

I'm seeing a fetus or a guinea pig.

cleared the board at 7.5", came inside and and it was almost 6"

My stratus was filled and shaved off....that is 12" deep. It is just dumping snow out there still

I just moved to Bethlehem at 900' from Woodbury at 475'.  Totally different type of snow here, and impossible to measure.  It blows so much, it degenerates into little crystals and forms very dense drifts.  So it looks like I have a dusting in front of the barn, and 4' along the side.  Meanwhile, down in Woodbury, you'd measure 15" everywhere you went.

12.1" Woodbury.  Western CT. 9" one town over.  

Cant sleep much, way too amped. Just a bit if dozing off and a touch of R.E.M.

This NAM run breaks continuity all over the place with vorticity maxima ... I'd take this run with a grain of salt...

Indeed.
