nice blizzard on the Cape. not historic though. issues were: 1) losing 5-6" over night due to temps around 33°. needed better antecedent airmass 2) 700mb may have closed off too close to Cape. not sure if dual low situation had anything to do with that. Epic mainly bands situated in SE Mass / South Shore. they tickled my area in the afternoon but nowhere near the length of the jack zone 3) storm didn't capture and stall SE or ESE of Cape. OE enhancement usually lasts longer with N or NNE winds vs NNW/NW winds with storm departing to the Northeast. see 05 or 15 where Cape cleaned up with CCB and OE enhancement otherwise, fun storm..maybe Top 10 or 12?

yeah it's the lower level stuff. shows up more cellular

yeah this is good stuff..hopefully it can hang on another hour or two

This is still 1-2" inch an hour stuff at the moment.

looks like some cellular OES enhancement. I'm sure that was going on the whole time but easier to see with the bands weakening

almost impossible to measure. somewhere between 12-18". those were the ranges I could find in the yard, excluding the drifts and wind blown mins. definitely cleaned up since 2pm, still going strong but not like it was 30 min ago

looking outside, you'd think we were in this band. it's heavy, and can't image the rates over the canal.

Not even bothering to measure. Probably somewhere between 9-14" Shooting for 20"+ but need some banding from 2-7pm, which I think we have a shot at. Nothing insane like the south shore though

I think we do fairly well over the next 5-7 hours. It's always more favorable when the winds start backing NNE. The band is starting to build over the cape..and it coincides the the 700mb low moving east a bit.

dry slot is right on my ass but I might be able to hold it off. seems like it the southern edge wants to start pivoting east and up.

Not surprised based on radar. I haven't measured..but we're probably in the 8-11" range.

Enjoy it. In between the heaviest now..but still probably an 1" an hour.

I have death band envy. south shore gonna jack big time

that band is nw of me..darn. but not surprised. hoping it pivots back a bit

things are about to get interesting

about an inch of heavy wet plaster so far. lost power for a minute but lights flickering, as winds are already blasting.

Euro has early access to Harvey

Harvey ftw

If you go back 2 days..GFS has been pretty consistent. Never really bit on the huge tucked in solutions

Don't worry, there's still time for things to get worse.

The GFS finally captures/consolitates at our latitude..but about 50 miles further east.

Hard to believe a potentially region wide historic blizzard is going to be derailed by that thing to the northeast, which really doesn't need to be there.
