These quickly growing cells at the 128/Pike interchange have quickly put out a couple of good rumbles of thunder and gusty winds.

Yeah pretty big model bust today. Even the 6z/12z runs today struggled. 

Totally.

We're in New York today and it's an amazing forecast bust.
We have our rain coats, boots, and  umbrellas with us and dressed for a 63* rainy day...
So far, *knock on wood*, it's mostly been a cloudy, 68* afternoon with no rain on radar anywhere...

Some smoky haze this morning. Can really see it on visible.

Trying to accumulate on grassy surfaces. Mostly white rain though.

34.8

Snow trying to mix back in, still mostly white rain.

Winds not a factor yet either.

Snizzle with occasional flakes mixed in much of the afternoon here in Newtonville.
The little coating we had after the burst of snow right at the changeover is long gone.

Now it's barely doing anything and it's really brightening up...
Temp is up too. Now it's 37.3 from 35 during the heavy snow.

Just drove from work in Needham and by the time I got home in Newtonville, grassy surfaces were covered and roads were getting slushy.
Might have a commuting disaster later...

Getting some fatties now.
Almost all snow.

A few flakes starting to mix in Needham.

Still raining in Needham. Maybe a stray flake if I squint...

Absolutely pouring rain in Newtonville this morning.
Kids are getting out at noon today.

Back to all snow in Newtonville. Hard to tell if it's sticking to pavement because of all the puddles from the rain.

35.1*

Snow trying to mix back in.

Slushy coating in Newtonville and just rain at this moment. 35.6*

Snow picking up in Needham, but having a hard time accumulating on treated surfaces.

It was maybe 1/2S in Newtonville a few moments ago with roughly 1.5" on cold/grassy surfaces? The treated roads outside my house seem to have barely anything on them.

Great call to delay or have school start normally it seems.

 

They need to get up at 4am and make the proper call.  I would think most of the state cancels.  Most districts in W MA called it off by 7pm.

Like they used to back in the day. It had to be a HECS to call off school the day before, and even then it wasn't a guarantee. There are currently a lot of delays around 128, so we'll see if that was the right choice.

Sorry to wander off topic a bit... Back to your regularly scheduled Obs thread.

Just took the trash out. Feels like a snowstorm on its way, but nothing falling inside 128 just yet.

I don't envy the supers who haven't decided on school tomorrow around and including Boston.

 

As an aside, an interesting mix so far of school delays vs. cancelations per WCVB. (Framingham, Randolph, Maynard closed, Norwood, Millis, Natick, Braintree delay etc.)

Wonder if those delays become closed should the 18z trends continue to 0z?

Found on NASCAR reddit. This is the scene in Fontana, CA today. (NASCAR is there this weekend.)

The snowier one is about 15 minutes from the track.

Just took the trash out, definitely freezing rain at 27.5*.

Snow was fun while it lasted. Maybe 1/2 inch.
Now sleet and 34.3*.
