Snowing probably by estimate about 2"/hour this new band that has intensified over my head

5" on the ground, 33F temp, NE wind gusting over 40mph, pressures around 985mb, pasty snow so far, temperatures should drop as the storm passes east of us. Storm should slow down some as it passes us to the east and reaches the benchmark to the east. Pressure in the storm has to be below 970mb, dry slot still a ways off, new banding developing heavy snow rates just off the Chatham, MA southeast coastline heading northwestward. Latest RAP brings another 1-2" of precip into the area.

Snow has increased in intensity in the last five to ten minutes

I'm between31/32

She has closed off at H5, watch for her to slow down her forward movement in the next 6-12 hours, possibly prolonging our snowfall

Here is the radar I use from wunderground.com, classic southeasterly inflow jet on a major time nor'easter classic precipitation production

Snow is powdery in nature now, dry snow blowing around in the wind, we are around 30-31F

Heavier banding developing in the SErly inflow

Bands are weaker over the area right now, but wind is blowing the drying snow, as we get further into the storm

03z SREFS went up big time with the mean at HYA, all snow now with a QPF mean of 2.5" and a snowfall mean of 20", mainly members are between 15-25" of snow

Surface pressures at buoy 44008 SE of ACK showing pressures of 982mb, and falling extremely rapidly

We lost power for a second there earlier in the morning around 545am, we switched over to very heavy snow, about 1-1.5" of snow on the ground now, temp hovering around 32F now, snow is sticking to everything, this is not a bust forecast, these amounts will happen, stay with us, look at that band converging towards Boston, MA we have hours of southeasterly inflow into the band allowing more heavy snow bands to infiltrate the region. She should slow down her forward progress some as the Arctic trough gets a hold of her

Damn I was falling into bad habits, I am sorry

Here is my latest map, this storm is combination of Juno and Blizzard of 2005

This cyclone is a stronger version of Juno in my opinion

Bands are individually moving WNW towards New England while the bands in general are moving NWward or northward

Heavy precipitation band heading straight for my brother who is stationed at a navy base in Newport, RI

38F, wind out of the ENE, and lightly raining outside, just started about five minutes ago

Ray look at the bands to the south of the islands, they are gathering intensity. Also the surface low has deepened below 980mb

Snowing in Providence according to Observations

Oh yeah, the Weather Channel is forecasting 24"+ in the light pink color on their legend for snowfall, this is awesome

38F temp/32F dew point ENE winds gusting to 30mph, Harwich, MA precip band right on my beach, about two miles south of my location according to radar, I use wunderground.com they have a pretty good radar setup, you can save the images too

Here is my third and final snow map for the Nor'easter tonight into Wednesday morning, 24 hour duration of snow, 24-30" in the jack pot zones likely, widespread 12-18" in all of eastern New England, snowfall rates may exceed 3-4"/hour, thundersnow potential is real, whiteout conditions will run rampant, high of around 35F and low around 28F on Tuesday for the Cape Cod area. Blizzard warnings are likely later this afternoon once the 12z package rolls through. Big potential for top three snowfall in Harwich, MA. My snowfall map is for New England only

Here is the first snow map for the March 12-14th Nor'easter, looks colder than previous two nor'easters so there is a heavy snow component unlike the last two, and a very serious wind component which could bring hurricane force wind gusts to Cape Cod and the Islands during the day Tuesday with blizzard conditions at the same time due to heavy falling snow, accumulations east of CT look very reasonable SW CT gets the least amount this go around.
