I live in coastal RI. Any trickery for us would be appreciated.

Yup missed out on everything here. Looking at the radar loop almost everywhere in RI got at least a fast moving shower out of it except my area - barely a trace. Glad I watered the garden earlier! Now in the dry slot...

Why? Do you enjoy ball sweat that much???

I looked at the radar, the NAM, and HRRR, and proceeded to go outside and water the garden. Not expecting much rain here at this point. Could have used it!

I think the question becomes, do you want a weather forum to become social media, with all the vitriol that goes along with it? It looked like things were getting personal at the end. Sometimes you're better off not knowing the political leanings of your online "friends", so you can just banter about the weather and enjoy it. To keep my post on topic - seems like QPF is down across the board for most of eastern New England on all the 00z models. Only the 12K nam gives any areas more than an inch east of the CT river... was hoping this could be a nice soaker for the garden...

I was wondering the same thing. Anti-virus?

Did the 18z initialize with all the recon info? I have the feeling 00z might be a better indicator as all that information recorded will be fully ingested along with proper center coordinates.

Strongest gusts of the day happening right now here in Bristol.

Moderate snow now. 34. About a 1/2" on the grassy areas. Not much on pavement.

Light snow mixed with sleet and rain, 36.

The second coming of Christ is more likely.

It's just been a constant "roar" of wind here for the last 4 hours or so. Worse down at the immediate coast. It was fun traveling over the Mt. Hope Bridge with the crosswinds blowing across the deck.

36,000 in RI with no power. 40,000 in SE MA between National Grid and Eversource.

Did the wind thread just get deleted?

This place has gone insane in the membrane... No it doesn't look good here on out, but again, there will be *chances* for some wintry weather, even in SNE, last two weeks of Feb into early March. I've been looking at the CFS long range on Pivotal for most of the winter, and while it's obviously not perfect, it has actually been rather consistent in the long range with what we have been seeing in terms of pattern and the resulting lack of snow this winter. I've always thought the CFS was garbage but for whatever reason this winter its been pretty decent, and it's showing some colder conditions in a week or two, with maybe some storm chances that coincide with it. So I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt - some of the other guidance suggests that as well. I guess if we don't have any snow outside that we can watch melt, might as well be the posters in this forum...

I wouldn't give up hope just yet. Last two weeks of Feb and first week of March look better for colder temps and chances at snow. Best its looked in a few weeks...

Agreed. It's always interesting how quickly that warm air moves in. Probably could have gotten another half inch if it didn't switch over. Par for the course at my locale for almost the majority of snow events.

Looks like I'm done at 3". Hear some sleet and rain mixing in. Radar confirms some warm air busting up Narragansett Bay...

Bristol RI, 32 degrees, light snow, 2.5” accum.

Euro has been inching its way northwest as well as it moves towards New England. Just an interesting trend over the last four runs - still doesn’t seem likely to get anything other than fringe effects from the storm.

11” total in Bristol. If the first 6” was a higher ratio rather than cement we would have been over a foot.

Because they have 5-6”, and I have 9”. Probably wasn’t in the good band this morning as long. I was already at 5-6” by 10 AM.

I’m at 9” in Bristol. Unusually, we were in a good band for a while. Picking up again too. Confident we can get close to a foot here.

Yes the heavy band have been over us most of the morning. May have lost an inch to melting bottom layer is very slushy.

5” snow in Bristol. Heavy snow right now...
