Our daughter is still supposed to work there at 3 (won’t be going…I will puke on her before I let her drive there.) Morning shift tomorrow.  Not sure how that will happen. 

ya not smart to stay open

[radarman]

Yeah BOX is still up

In case anyone is interested, you can play multi-hour loops of BOX and ENX on my little google maps site.  Archive goes back years with only a few missing periods. Click the clock icon top left.  By default it just shows the last few frames.

I just keep musing tongue-in-cheek over how 6 days ago, we were looking at this continental mauler storm affecitng everywhere but here...  Then, 6 days later... while it certainly is affecting a lot of the country, it actually appears to want to max where it was 0, six days ago - squarely right here in SNE

that's an interesting model saga

Looks like Philadelphia has changed over.

[radiator]

Apologies for asking what sounds like a dumb question, but I hurt my back just over a week ago, and currently walking is extremely painful for me, so just walking downstairs and out the door to check directly would be a bit too agonizing for me to contemplate doing right now.

Is this snow currently 'light and fluffy' or 'heavy and packed'? Is that expected to change over the course of this storm?

I'm in mid-Litchfield County CT, if that may matter.

Can’t believe this was modeled to be way south just a few days ago.  

The Ai models had a better clue with the strength of the Baja low, but I think as we got closer we got better sampling of the northern stream that was diving over the ridge. Eventually it was obvious the phase was going to happen and suppression was out the window.

Friend of mine flew up to Needham to chase, wish I was out near you guys right now. Enjoy

If anyone recalls, as soon as I saw the setup I became pretty confident of a biggie.

Ok yeah it was just weathertap screwing up a couple frames. Back online. Looks like incoming for ORH-PVD

It is all over CT. Rates right now are insane. Can barely see across street 

Not my point JR, the highest totals aren’t going to be over Tolland, they will be NE in f you towards Ray; am I wrong

[Torch Tiger]

what a storm!  Big 'un!

[Sey-Mour Snow]

4.2” epic out, piles are massive already.  About 1.5” per hour rates so far. Meso out for 2”/ hour as sleet stalls south of ct shore according to SPC. We shall see!

Very light 

[ORH_wxman]

Dendrites starting to mix in. We’ve been moderate pure baking powder for about an hour now. Growth noticeably improving the last few min. 
 

Temp 4.8F. 

[HoarfrostHubb]

Some gravity waves?

[Heisy]

Looks like Philadelphia has changed over.

I’m in Bensalem right NE of the city and we had a heavy band just come through which was puking snow, now pingers mixing in. I have 6+ here, with sleet I’ll probably finish close to 8, there’s just no way most of MA doesn’t end up with 20-24” with spotty +2’

look at the precip moving in from the east towards Boston   this storm is going to be very very impressive

[weathafella]

It’s been snowing nicely but now we’re getting fatties mixing in-about to take off as we go from moderate to borderline heavy to pounding.

[weatherwiz]

ripping here...going to be accumulating at a rapid pace for the next several hours

Yeah expectations are very very high, at least 20" I'd say.  Anything less is a let down

[Typhoon Tip]

Better growth coming down now.  Instead of cryo fog-,  it's S- with actual discernible aggregates, albeit on the small side

Did you see UNC Mulens post 

[Snowcrazed71]

Strange. I'm just watching wtnh doing a live update... He's just talking about the storm gathering strength in the Gulf then eventually transferring to one off of Cape Hatteras.... But isn't the storm already taking shape off of Cape Hatteras as we speak? Just strange how they didn't mention that LOL. 

What I'm waiting for now is some thunder snow. Let's bring it on!!
