Rise of the Machines: January 18-19 Winter Storm Obs Thread

[CarverWX]

Everything snow covered quickly 

[Damage In Tolland]

That picked up quickly. Nothing to steady snow 

[UnitedWx]

Snow has started in Westfield

No radar returns over my house yet I’m in pondmetown, interesting indeed

What a winter weekend. Haven’t had an entire snowy weekend in many many years . Pure frontal , sideal, and backal nudity .

That UConn game yesterday took several years off my life at the end . Moving my youngest daughter back to campus this morning in the snow 

[ineedsnow]

Thinking 5 to 7 here. I think we fluff later today / tonight and might get lingering snows late tonight into early morning tomorrow.

These last few conference games have been nail biters

The Weathertap 'winter weather mask' has just shown a 20" bump in the rain line--it is suddenly north of route 6.  Is there any ground truth to that?  I suspect it's an artifact and is actually still snowing.  

Anyone out there to confirm?

Right on the heels of the Seton Hall game......yikes.  They've gotta make these games easier to watch! 

We moved our daughter back into school last weekend for her final semester.  So happy to have that tuition monkey off our backs!

And they should not be.  The number 2 team in the nation as of tomorrow) needs to get back to playing with dominance . The offense has not run smoothly the last few games. 

Solid steady snow with road covered again

Looks good out my window, not so good on my radar screen.

The missed free throws at the end almost cost them. All by 85 % and above free throw shooters. 
 

My oldest daughter is graduating from UConn in May so she’s about off the books. Youngest daughter is a sophomore so two more years left.

I could see us maybe getting 4-5” with ratios.  Those higher numbers will be hard to get to.

Wasn't it an 18-point lead at one point against SH?   What a debacle to let that lead go.

It will be hard but i think its possible.. maybe get lucky with a band forming on the western side..

Moved my son in yesterday for his second semester at Berklee.  Six more tuition payments left for me...

Steady snow here, Go Pats

Yup, dominated the 1rst half, fell apart for the 2nd

[moneypitmike]

Snow's picked up here in PVD.  Cars and the backyard probably have a little less than .5" on them.  Paved surfaces are just wet.  Increasing sun angle and all......

[Baroclinic Zone]

Solid moderate snow under this.

Eyeballing 1/2”

Well SH always does that. Holloway has that team playing very well (aside from yesterday) . They get behind every game and battle back . I’ve watched a bunch of their games this year . Their defense and pressure is brutal

Cool.  Is he performance or industry?  What instrument does he play?

We had also sent our daughter to Tabor for high school, so we've had 8 consecutive years.  At the pre-graduation parent dinner at Tabor, I told my wife "enjoy that shrimp--it cost us $250k".

On that map, I'm mid-way on a line between Acushnet and Wareham.......if that's snow, I'll say FTW.

[Spanks45]

Moderate snow, 0.6" so far....snow on top of snow is always nice. The view outside my window is what I can imagine Powderfreak experiences on a normal basis, getting it down here definitely makes it pretty special. 28.4 currently

Yeah--Shaheen was also really good as a player.   I was living in NJ for a couple years.  My ex was a SH grad, so I spent a lot of time back then watching games at the Continental Airlines Arena......being one of many people cheering for UConn.

Performance.  (electric) guitar.  He's a metalhead.  Everything he plays and writes is very heavy.  He loves it there, surrounded by his people.  We'll see what happens.  Tabor is beautiful.  I went to Moses Brown in PVD from 6th grade thru HS and we played against Tabor in a few different sports.  Very fancy.

Steady snow continues.  Grass getting covered.  Brutal cut off just south of S. Wey......yikes
