If we’re using roofus and fv3 srefs deserve a berth.

I'm savoring this one-a throwback to my youth. The deep winter cold laying down the foundation with perfect timing. The classic cirrus gathering in the SW sky, the excitement of a big snow on the way. I grew up in the 1950s and early 60s. The 1950s were not so kind to snow lovers until the latter half of the decade. But my early years taught me to appreciate every aspect of the storm including the prodromal high paint brush cirrus. When i was 9 years old, I read a book entitled "All About the Weather" by ivan Ray Tannehill. He described a gathering storm similar to what we're hopefully about to experience. I'm quoting but entirely from memory: "It may be a clear cold day in winter whn you notice wispy high clouds in the sky to the west." I remember the line-"the wind whistles in the pines and roars in the eaves". Some of you older posters wil probably remember the same experience as me reading and validating what I was feeling......excitement...it was going to snow! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Ray_Tannehill

That’s how you pull a 20 burger.

The way I do it is watch in my 4 season porch with huge windows and wide open visible. Then I take a quick walk at halftime and after the game until the NFC contest.

To quote a friend…”I’m just sitting back smiling”

Possible if something stops flying.. But we must ultimately go-care trip.

For sure. But uncle showed less qpf from Luke down through nyc which is what I was referring to. I think the orographic assist should be enhanced if we do Monday properly.

I agree. Event fatigue has set in. I’ll be leaving 2/1 so this is likely my event of the year. Though I should be back the first week of March so who knows…

Euro spreads the wealth pretty evenly.

Point is, uncle is a pummeling but it is late Friday night and crazy uncle.

They match 10:1 pretty closely this time. Match the qpf. The dark blue is 15”, the mauve is 18”, redder 21”. There’s a 2” qpf stripe that matches that frim BOS to part of the south shore.

Snow:

Uncle with 1.5-2 qpf for the eastern half of MA

18+ for many. And it seems that in general Monday is back in business on most guidance.

UGW!!

Stay until 4pm. On Monday it’s “sorry-got stuck in the storm”

For those disappointed by NAM-it reality is close to a burial in areas showing sleet. I’d wait until tomorrow before panicking. And even those with some taint will still get a deep pack out of this. I’ll be surprised if there’s more than trivial sleet. I remember during January 1996 there was some sleet on the south shore that really didn’t make a difference in the big picture.

We need some messenger ticks to make it happen

18z uncle on a Friday. Someone forgot to padlock the liquor cabinet….

EE rule?

That ends 7am Monday which could be several inches low.

3k keeps cf pinned closer to the coast Sunday late night vs 12k more inland in SE MA.

Gets close to 1.5 into BOS. Kind of supports 15-20.
