a few lonely flakes, 28.3/21.4

Today's high IMBY 3.5F

forecasts were for the temp to get up to about 32F here by about 10AM before it started to fall.. but that ain't gonna happen.. 18.5/16.2 now

just in from snowblowing.. ZR mix seemed to be running from about 0 to 25%.. after I cleared the windshields a glaze started to build..

it's been sleet with a few zr drops here at least since I woke up at 4:30.. 22.4/20.4

23/21, sleet and freezing rain..

a night of baking-powder snow on the deck...

snow finally getting going here.. the past hour or so of wispy flakes amounted to nothing...

29.8/20.9

First tiny flakes here just now.. 29.9/17.7

I really like my small 1kw inverter generator.. It's small, quiet, sips gas, and plenty of power for electronics and works to charge up UPS batteries.  I have a larger more traditional generator too, but for most outages I only run the little one.  Something to think about it you are shopping generators.

I have the big Yamaha 6300W inverter to run the house, but also a baby 800W inverter that has been an awesome thing to have around.. to horse shows, car shows, etc etc.. the baby is currently at my daughter's house on the MA//CT border ready for the icemageddon that may or may not happen..

Radar estimated precip is way off here for some reason..

KENX and KBOX are showing a storm total of around 0.1", actual is about 1.45" .. PWS around here agree, with >1" ..

All rain, of course

Snowblower part arrived a day early.

Storm cancel.

The Amherst MA area should get a good thumping, because the replacement part for my snowblower won't be here until late Friday.

poweroutage.us showing about 75K out in New England, but that doesn't capture all providers..

Quick 0.2", 10F drop

pea-sized hail, with a few dime-sized

tstorms popping here

3.1" net here.

1.15" so far, pouring now..

Is everyone at the WFO asleep? How can they leave a statement like that hanging out there?

BOX AFD

A few showers formed over the higher terrain in western
Worcester County late this afternoon. They were sliding eastward
into the CT River Valley this evening.

Zero rain in the forecast for tonight.

Just scrambled in dinner guests from the deck, it is effin pouring here.

Nice one.  Just reinstalled a Doppler radar on Orchard Hill after 5 years without one.  Should come online this fall.

That is excellent news.
