HIPPYVALLEY

Not sure how susceptible Halifax Harbor is to surge? I would guess the big issue is downed trees because there are so many big beautiful trees in the Halifax-Dartmouth area, never mind the outskirts. Probably looking at a few days without power but not too much structural damage. I know folks in Yarmouth, Sable River, Lunenburg and Halifax.

Yeah, I'm not psyched for my in-laws right now, they are going into buckle down mode.

Great place to have relatives to visit!

Good luck! My sister in law and family are in Dartmouth so I'll try to stay in touch with them and get pictures if they can.

That's his aura.

What's good for Florida may be hell for the Carolina's.

Which 0z are already out? Paid sites I assume?

Canadian High ftw? Although many weenies would be disappointed a full ots miss would be awesome. Partial landfall, slow crawler up the coast would not be so good but better than direct hit of course.

Oh' I was guessing Tahoe.

So well done!

UMass has a mail in soil testing program.

Always. Lawn is a luxury item.

Worcester Co. was definitely the dividing line for haves and have nots. Big difference in totals from SE to NW. .Worcester County...

My friend in Dover VT just texted me he had 12-14" there as of midnight with light snow still falling.

That's what you should tell them.

Maybe a Met could explain to me the dynamics out here. I understand the reasons the valley did poorly even under that great band all day but how come the high elevation spots out here didn't do very well either? Radar said it was snowing hard for hours but highest total in Franklin Co. was 11" and most 1000' + locales were less than that.

MPM made the right choice going to Maine. Probably only 8-9" at his house in Shelburne according to my friend up that way.

Just make sure you replace it with the real thing ASAP otherwise you are risking your gearbox.

That I-91 banding was wasted on the Valley, it probably would have much better served the hill towns to the east or west. The Euro QPF was probably pretty close to reality out here, .6-.7" is what it showed consistently. We wasted a lot to poor growth and thermal profiles that were likely a degree or two higher than modeled.

I made two measurements today on a cleared picnic table to come up with my 6" but only have 4.5" otg. Anybody measuring on pavement or waiting all day is probably under reporting what they got in the valley.

Parents and sister say 22"+ in Chelmsford. Looks like the big totals cut of sharply W of ORH. N Quanbin towns have joined the land of commoners the past few seasons

The map is often not updated late into a storm. Amherst will be lucky to break 6"

You nailed it. Up here SWFE are more reliable. I too am am just about climo fir the season. 3 NorEasters in 3 weeks but almost no SN+ to show for it. There is always the next one!

5.5" - 6" here since midnight. 4.5" or so otg. Heavy and wet. 32F -SN A little disappointing relative to forecast but we probably wasted some qpf and never got into better rates despite them being overhead. Still looks pretty!

Moving pretty fast, and tons of banding, going to be tough for anyone to realize over 18" in SNE. AWT.
