Headed to Truro for the duration.

This storm will be a shrieker for us.

3” for the Cape lol.

Not worth it.

Why does this upcoming system seem familiar?

I just saw a spider crawl from under the front door up the door...which means it came in from outside. I read somewhere back in the day that if spiders are trying to get inside before a snowstorm it means big snow coming 

And if you kill a spider, it will rain.

Feb '89 vibes.

Watches issued by BOX for RI and the South Coast/Cape/Islands minus Nantucket.

ACK might get skunked. Tuckernuck and Muskeget: in the game.

How does this still look for Cape and Islands

He probably doesn’t realize that ACK averages like 27” per year.

I lived on the island from '88-'96. in those eight years, we had only a few foot plus events. I could probably count them on both hands.

It's going to be loud as hell Saturday.

This place is definitely a place that would thrive on daytime soap opera. Reality TV got nothin on SNE division of AMWX

Days of Our Models, As the Storm Bombs, General Forecast Office...

Saturday

Snow likely before 10am, then rain and snow likely between 10am and 11am, then snow likely after 11am. Cloudy, with a high near 34. North wind 14 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 33 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%.

so it begins  lol

As of now, the mid cape is torch city

It'll be an action packed weekend for sure.

How do winds look? Coastal flooding? I'll worry about p-type later.

Just now on page 30 but can assume the forwarding are gawk pages at this point ...

Ways to go?  yup - we know this...just wanna get that out there.

Still, I keep coming back to the notion that big atmospheric events have an interesting way of showing up rather early... and fighting through adversity and chaos, they keep reappearing... Finally, all tech concedes and gosh, the thematic arc of this particular event really fits that for me. 

It could very well be doubting in disbelief along a journey toward a big dawg, trophy caser.  

Already, it would have to say looking at this myself,  if 1/3 of those EPS, and 1/2 of the GEF members ( in other words, the upper tier impactors) were frappe, it would poor a glass of joke dangerous bomb shake. 

I don't know if that is going to happen - and would dream to suggest so at D5 ( haha...holy shit)  But it kinda sorta goes with that idea about system persistence above?  And no, this is no mere kielbasa George01ian dystopic hot take. That's the implied by that mean.  I don't know what the region would do with 20 -30" of snow driven along by 55 mph wind gusts as far inland and the ORH Hills...with 70 mph routine gust over roofs and through the tree canopies of coastal counties, but good luck

Can rest or be hugely confident of a ceiling bomb at this range - so we're just talking here. 

Obviously, we prooobably shame 20 or 30% and reality just makes it solid success... 

I'm also thinking that the QPF is indeed creeping back SW down the EC like we mentioned may take place, later last night...As well as some impacts. The 06z GFS and the 00z GGEM ...while not necessarily verbatim buy-in solutions, they do erupt leaf snows down in the interior and of the SE and have moderate for DCA-PHL... 

wow huh

What does this mean for Cape Cod at this point?

Barely a coating here from last night. 30F

3/26/14 was that obscene bomb. The Cape did get into part of the CCB but not the heart of it so they picked up like 8-12 instead of feet. They had some legit blizzard conditions though. 

God, I remember that. Was in Falmouth for that one.

'78. Just the mention of "78" only one thing comes to mind. A benchmark that's been rivaled but not surpassed. I was in AZ. to this day I regret missing. 

I was -10 years old.

If you want a good cup of local coffee that actually tastes good go to snowy owl in Brewster & sandwich. It’s a little expensive but not anymore so than Starbucks and it’s actually good. 

Can't reach Snowy Owl attm, as currently no vehicle and spotty bus service.

Yes that certainly would be a great storm to see.  There are so many storms and events from the 1700's and 1800's. Back when winter was winter!

Wasn't there a blizzard in 1838-39 that if it occurred today, it would surpass the 1993 superstorm?

Not a storm but the Cold Friday of 1810.....one of the greatest arctic fronts to ever blast into New England

I'd like to see the "Cold Storm" of 1857. It was so intense that it had an eye feature as recorded by a Nantucketer. Closer to our times, it would have to be 1978, at least out here on the cape or Nantucket (my dad was stationed at the LORAN-C transmitter out at Low Beach.

Pages and pages of coffee talk! WTF

New Englanders like their coffee and talking about the Wx with their coffee.

I think it was most from a norlun trough? I remember having Flurries in Wareham with dim sun, and raging jealousy of the Cape as a 10 year old. 

That might be the February '90 event. Nantucket received 8 inches give or take. The Vineyard squeaked by with 10 inches. Looking back on that weekend in February 1990 the three events: Saturday, Sunday, and the squalls on Tuesday (not a weekend day, but part of the series) it seems they blend together.

Snowing here now.
