Cape and coastal Plymouth county. I still feel jack is the interaction of coastal front south of BOS. Recent runs have brought that near Boston though. 

I feel like it will start on the immediate n shore through KBOS, then drift into se MA.

I'm writing up my forecast now.

All the way to Hingham. Diane was complaining about rain and now she gets a blizzard warning. 

Well, let's see how she works out...my interest is definitely piqued...I saw a graphic that had plymouth on the east side of the CF...so If that happens, I think Bob will jackpot

Wow a lot of convection across northern FL....pump up that ridge baby

Nice soaker with about .75" (so far) of well needed water. A few rumbles thrown in.
About 2 weeks ago planted 4 banana trees, they don't like the cold. Expected low tomorrow night is right around freezing. This afternoon put together a makeshift hot-house made of pvc and plastic. Cheap plants and have proceeded spenting 4X the price of them on soil and now trying to protect. Jokingly if I get just one banana it will be dubbed the golden banana!
Storm is a quick mover...good dumping up there in a short timeframe....Good-luck y'all.
