They usually do it by exit 12. For some reason they don't plow that stretch well and there's a slight turn.

 

There's some crazy humps there too that are tough to navigate even in a car...I can imagine it's enough to toss the wheels askew a bit.

 

Power just flickered down here.  Getting much more snow than I thought we would, pasted to everything.

Measure brother , PLEASE .

I'm at work but I eyeballed it this morning at about 16" and thought I was being a little conservative and then shortly after saw a tweet from skywarn I think it was reporting 19.8 on other side of town and that was around 8am so gotta imagine we've topped 20 by now.

I'd like to see your temp blast up into the upper 20's to near 30. 

 

 

Looks like CF only have had enough push to go over the parts of land that "jut out" to sea. I.E S Shore and Cape Ann.

 

So far Brick wall at Logan to Revere to Danvers

 

Hi res nam wants to push it to Logan around noon.  It has kept trying on every run , perhaps this time its right.

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...

940 AM UPDATE...

QUITE A MESOSCALE SNOW EVENT IN PROGRESS ACROSS E COASTAL MA NEAR

AND JUST SOUTH OF BOS WHERE STRONG LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG

THE COASTAL FRONT PROVIDING ENHANCED LIFT AND HEAVY SNOWFALL. THE

COASTAL FRONT HAS SHIFTED SLIGHTLY WEST ACROSS SE MA BUT STILL

LOCKED IN BETWEEN OWD AND GHG. NOTE ENE WINDS AT BOS BUOY AND GHG

WITH NNW AT BOS AND OWD. VERY STRONG LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WILL

CONTINUE TO ENHANCE SNOWFALL RATES FROM BOS TO THE SOUTH SHORE.

RADAR SHOWS HEAVIER SNOW EXPANDING ACROSS MUCH OF SNE WHICH WILL

CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON BEFORE TRENDING LIGHTER. BUT

WILL LIKELY SEE CONTINUED HEAVY SNOW AT TIMES ACROSS E COASTAL MA

THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY. USED A BLEND OF AVAILABLE HI-RES GUIDANCE

QPF AS A BASIS FOR ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL AND IT SIGNALS POTENTIAL

FOR AN ADDITIONAL 6-10 INCHES TODAY ACROSS NE MA INTO NE PLYMOUTH

COUNTY...WITH STILL ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL TONIGHT. A FEW LOCATIONS

IN E MA WILL LIKELY EXCEED 2 FT SINCE SATURDAY FROM THIS STORM

WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE TUE MORNING. ELSEWHERE...EXPECT AN

ADDITIONAL 2-6" TODAY WITH THE LEAST AMOUNTS ALONG THE SOUTH

COAST.

DUE TO THE PREVALENCE OF MESOSCALE FORCING...CONFIDENCE IN THE

FINAL DISTRIBUTION OF TOTAL SNOWFALL IS NOT ESPECIALLY HIGH BUT

IN THE END THE HIGHEST TOTALS SHOULD BE IN EASTERN MA AND

POSSIBLY VERY HIGHEST IN NE PLYMOUTH AND EASTERN NORFOLK COUNTIES.

VERY SHARP TEMP GRADIENT ALONG THE COASTAL FRONT WITH TEMPS IN

THEE TEENS TO THE WEST AND LOWER 30S TO THE EAST.

WINDS SHOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH WITH GUSTS 30 TO 35 MPH ALONG THE

EASTERN MA COASTAL PLAIN AND THE WATER CONTENT OF THE SNOW LIGHT

ENOUGH FOR SOME BLOWING AND DRIFTING.

ALB is running about 50% of mean forecasted QPF based off of Fri/Sat progs.  The hill towns west and also east to the MA border are similarly limping along in the .6-.75 LE range for the 3 day total.  We've gained a couple inches of snowpack.  So far we've briefly maxed out at -SN and .75 vis.  The sun is now shining through the clouds.  The overrunning did not deliver out this way.  The western QPF maximum was way overdone on all guidance.
