You got the flare!  Well done.  That’s what I saw however I could not get the shot.

Incredible experience.  The clouds parted just enough so we could get the totality experience.  I even saw a bright orange solar flare.  Amazing!!

Nice pictures, be sure to take pictures of the different stages of the eclipse, Lake George to Lake Champlain may be in high clouds but it doesn't mean you won't see totality.

Looks like there are people still enroute from the Albany who are hitting traffic on 87.  The folks traveling north in VT and NH are in a mess with major back ups on the interstates there.

How far from Watertown?

 

40 miles south.

On the SE corner of Lake Ontario near Mexico, NY.  Just some patchy cirrus around.  Not a whole lot of people out and about here.

Staying overnight in Binghamton.  Will plan my next move up there based on hi res model outputs.  The AFDs that I read speak of a cirrus deck and a mid-level deck.  The hi res outputs are showing breaks in this cloud shield.  Hopefully I can identify a suitable area north of Syracuse where one of these breaks happen.  It’s definitely a crap shoot.  What is really interesting is that hotels and other places up there that have been fully booked all week have rooms available for tonight (not cheap).  In any case not feeling the love about driving all the way up to northern VT.

Strong jet overhead. Mostly taking stronger bursts of rain to bring it down though. It's sitting RIGHT near the inversion. 

You’re not kidding.  I am seeing lightning strikes being registered on my Tempest station as this latest batch comes through.

Recent gust to 35 mph at my inland location with this feature.  I suspect you who are in the NYC area will really see your winds crank as this feature comes through.

Looking pretty likely Boston ends under 10” for the winter which is absolute basement level disaster. Even I had 15.5”  this season. If you take the last 4 winters from 20-21 on it’s been about as good here on the LI N Shore as it’s been there-and of course the last 2 winters have been complete trash. 21-22 was better there but 20-21 better here. 
 

Looking quite dicey on the coastal flood threat tomorrow AM, major flood predicted in Freeport and moderate to major almost everywhere else on the S Shore bays. That plus maybe 2” more rain will means lots more flooding everywhere. Power might be out/trees down as well if these 60 mph gusts happen on saturated ground. 

I have had 25” for this season so it’s a C+ for me.  Been a tough season for a lot of places.

Snow depth maps are awful for them . 10 :1 is slightly better but this isn't 10:1 until you get to NNE.

It’s amazing how that area has been so screwed the past couple of winters.  Many 10:1 model runs calling for 6”+ for the Boston area for this event and now it looks like mainly sleet / rain unless you’re near the NH border.

Areas near the shore could see gusts near 60 mph since there is a 50KT flag just beneath the inversion. 
 

These winds are already happening.  I recently recorded a gust to 42 mph at my station at Cherry Grove.  A nearby station has recently recorded a gust to 50 mph.  I have no doubt that there will be gusts over 60 mph along the barrier beaches and would not rule out gusts to near hurricane force with this event.

yeah doubt anything gets here...we have NE winds funneling in dry air.

Raining steadily here this morning.  0.14” so far.

This band coming through has some of my heaviest rainfall rates of the year so far just east of KHVN. 

 

Gust to 32 mph at my remote station at Cherry Grove on Fire Island at 4:45 PM with the line.  A nearby station gusted to 42 mph at that time.

Rain is done here - 2.06”

Pouring here.  39 with a storm total of 1.87” so far.

There's no snow mixing in with the current soundings.

 

850s and 925s are all at least plus 5 or greater

I looked at these cams again and did not see any further indications of mixing.  Mid levels are warm but with the UVVs down there I couldn’t rule it out.  Probably transient unless my eyes were playing tricks on me.

Just now, JetsPens87 said:

Proof of that? It's 50 plus degrees 

Look at the traffic cameras along Rte 422 and I 76 NW of Philly under the heavy echos.  It’s only around 40 in those areas.  511pa.com

Pouring here.  37 with 1.05” so far with the event.
