After years and years of being in a shed, brutally beaten in solitary confinement, it finally feels great that they granted my parole.

Hopefully it's not just work release...

When the next one crushes 128-westward, we’ll conclude he was released with an ankle bracelet.

Greetings from weenieville

Anthony!  Great to be out in it!   Enjoy the moment

[rnaude241]

Already snowing in Plymouth. Was it supposed to be this early? I thought it was going to be around. 2:00 or 3:00

[Johnno]

Damn… missing fisherman this morning at Stonington town docks… tough weather for that search

4 years chiseling a hole through the concrete, out the sewer pipe and now free.

It’s going to be difficult to overestimate the totals around Boston. It snows most of the day tomorrow. 24” is a floor.

 

Did Boston ever get a 30 inch storm?

Five hundred yards. That's the length of five football fields, just shy of half a mile.

Technically, no, but in reality likely yes. Various measuring issues over the years plus being right on the water makes it a little hotter. Not because the temperature is coming because of wind, etc..

27.6" for PDII is the official record

No, both Feb ‘03 and Feb ‘78 were just over 27” but the 2003 measurement is kind of fake. It was controversial at the time. They cleared too frequently. 
 

But they’ve never had 30”+. Though I think there is a good chance that the city itself cracked 30 in the ‘78 storm.

Interesting that Fredericksburg still reporting mod snow.  But you're right, this isn't good for us.

FWIW channel 8 news said the sleet will make it up to Willamantic now, but most of the snow would have already fallen.

Eastern SNE assaulted from east and west! TBOS terminal Doppler radar with a great view!

There was no way to accurately measure the blizzard of 78, I have to believe we were over. The 27.1 at Logan and 28.6 at TF Green are low, though there is no way to officially know.  I was living in Cranston and we were over 28.6, no way to measure with the size of the drifts.

The big surprise will be the -NAO look that this thing develops late tomorrow morning as it moves inside the benchmark, slowing down and throwing CCB back from north central Jersey to throughout New England.

We will all be waking up to a storm in its 6th/7th inning.

Likely the first and last time I’ll ever agree with you

For us coasties the NAM was the quickest to turn DC to sleet and was correct. So probably more reliable than the HRRR or RAP.

Yeah my family is near Baltimore and while they got a solid 6-7”, the changeover is happening fast. I thought it would take until early afternoon.

NAM seems brutally effective at detecting those warm layers aloft that global models miss. I thought it was too amped and warm, but reality may be proving it right.

[WalpoleJoe]

Flakes just started.

[CarverWX]

Nice band setting up along RT 44. You can it coming from the east and west

[tavwtby]

3/0 actually getting colder, as snow growth wavers from good to putrid, but vis is about 1/4 and just over an inch down.

The HRRR within 10 hours is good too, although has been too slow with the changeover but next best after NAM so far down there.

[Spanks45]

1.5" down, borderline heavy snow....7.5⁰

[summerthyme]

The lightest of flurries falling now here in Watertown MA…unless my eyes deceive me. Hoping for a great storm

Yeah there’s the easterly enhancement for AEMATT

Getting it from both ends

[WinterWolf]

2” down and 7 degrees .

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Ramping up pretty quickly.  Steady small flakes.  Coating. 

[Masswx]

Should start soon here
