26th-27th event, coming at us like a wounded duck.

Went from nothing 15 minutes ago..to heavy snow and everything covered.

Great stuff...appreciate your posts...just made the connection lol. I'm Ray from that group.

I worked w/ CoastalWx for over 10 years at WSI.  Now work as contractor for NESDIS in College Park MD.  Grew up and lived in N Woburn until coming here.  I am contemplating moving back when I retire (not for a while still though).

I enjoy reading your posts on NESC as well.  Did you see Ray’s map earlier?

saw this pop up live on Radarscope!!!

   SUMMARY...Heavy snow bands will spread/develop southeast across
   upstate NY toward southern New England over the next few hours. Snow
   rates of 1-1.5"/hr are expected.

   DISCUSSION...Low-amplitude short-wave trough is progressing
   southeast across western NY/PA early this evening. Latest
   water-vapor imagery depicts a notable midlevel vort max southwest of
   Syracuse, and this is reflected well in radar data. Multiple heavy
   snow bands have developed ahead of this vort max, strongly
   influenced by low-level warm advection, extending across upstate NY
   into the lower Hudson Valley. Boundary layer moistening supports
   this with dew points now rising into the mid teens (F) where snow
   rates are increasing. Over the next few hours snow rates are
   expected to increase downstream across western CT and Long Island,
   largely in response to this well-defined short wave digging toward
   the northern Middle Atlantic. Snow rates of 1-1.5"/hr can be
   expected prior to the short wave passage.

So much for the CoastalWx dry air issues. FGEN FTW!

Oh wow...my dad is from Woburn..I grew up in Wilmington. Ton of Spinazolas in Woburn...

Yea, known Scott for about 16 years from this place...great met.

IIRC far NW tip of Wilmington?

I just said this in the obs thread, and got confused emoji..lol.

Yes.  And thanks for putting up w/ my verbosity and dogmatic statements at times on NESC!   I try to word my posts very careful.  It's all in the delivery and presentation.  Social is tricky these days.

Scott is talking about dry air more towards eastern MA and his area...it wasn't a concern here

You would get along great with @Typhoon Tip

You said we’d loose some in the beginning here’…I dint think we did.  But it’s all good. It’s a wall of snow. 

[ORH_wxman]

Gotta love seeing that much rotation with the echoes near BGM  shows there’s some pretty dynamic bending of the midlevel height field there which is what we want to see if you want the strong dynamics to last further east before they weaken too much

yup...what was lost was negligible but that is what was going to happen...come in like a wall where the banding outside of the banding is a bit of a different story. Like I'm waiting for snow here despite being under some returns. will take a bit here until those heavier echoes push east

 he’s a good met. He realized he had his hands full when I came aboard. 

I knew CoastalWx was a big weenie after the Dec 9, 2005 "snowcane" event.  He couldn't stop talking about the roar of the wind that woke him up when the wind shifted NW in GHG and then turned to +SN!

He couldn't get enough of my wx archives I had for text products and obs at work. Actually, given the recent NORLUN, I will post on a separate thread in the next few days the obs from the Mar 1992 PWM event and the Feb 1993 CHH event, plus some other events.

Now is coming down heavy

Hmmm, rotation enhances pcpn rates.  And that's really far N of the sfc low.  Since this system is falling into the mean trough position, this feature may not wane as much as we think, esp. being mesoscale.

But the mid-level mesoscale feature in NY!  It just has to propagate to NZW!

I think I'm too low up here.. gonna need a bigger boat

Does the 6" in Weymouth sound that far off now?

Cloud tops continuing to cool as well to the east which is a great sign
