Some models have hinted at some backside snow here, possibly enough for a coating to maybe 1”. We know how that usually goes, but it’s our only hope 

That’s been my call for 3 days. But it’s a question of how cool it gets.

[Kitz Craver]

Some tiny flakes mixed with sleet. Jumped 2 degrees quickly. 30F

I think you may get in on it. I know you’re literally on the line. Hope it works out. At least I can sit back and observe how this will all work. 

[WinterWolf]

Snow and groupel started. 

[CoastalWx]

Kev gets 1-2 before changeover

29f, Snowing here. Trying to enjoy it instead of endlessly bitching. 

Here's the new yard. At '300. Need to update profile. 

Hoping we get 2-4". It'd be the first memorable snow for my daughter probably. She's 2 in Feb.

Well those who are lucky enough to get some accumulating snow will get to look at it for awhile....be nice if we could get a nice region wide Miller A or B with this cold coming up but that looks doubtful.

I told my neighbor yesterday not to be surprised if there's only two slushy inches and now that seems like a fantasy lol

 

Cloudy chilly start though 28. Certainly looks like a snow sky for the time being.

It’s usually wrong! But fun to look when digital snow is the only snow we get down here 

[CoastalWx]

Hrrr was way too warm until just now lol

Already up to 29.5. I have zero faith in the ability of my locale to stave off the ocean.

I think it’s probably more related to changing back to snow and how quick winds can flip north. 

[GCWarrior]

Looks like SVT is getting it pretty good right now. Nothing but virga here in our little valley.

We laugh, but in all seriousness there's a lot of anxiety out there when it comes to wx. Tropical, severe, winter, significant rainers...maybe part of that is the hype that comes with wx these days, but it's a legitimate thing. 

 

A hurricane heading your way or a tornado warning--sure.  People and dogs who are afraid of thunder, sure.

A snowstorm?  Please......

[Kitz Craver]

My phone forecast just jumped from 2” of snow and .6 rain to 5-6” snow and .2 wintry mix?

That's why my latitude is always useless...Will down in Holliston is colder, but you can bet I'll far enough N to miss the next pike special.

looking at radar I don't see why it isn't snowing much here now, and why you have triple what I have.

[radarman]

light snow has commenced after a period of virga

Yeah he’s warming aloft already. At least you’ll likely flip later on in the storm and get something.
