Just seems like it’ll be a slower process to move this out

Had planned to wake up and take first stab at the driveway but honestly not sure I feel comfortable doing so.

Probably a fruitless endeavour.

as far as past storms like this, Jan 2005 and 2015 would be comparable

Ryan’s future radar on NBC30 rips a hole in the band at like 9:30-10:00? You think that tracks?

I don’t see this lasting past 10am. It’ll narrow pivot and rot

Satellite but impressive nonetheless 

Sorry, that’s what I meant…

Good morning from my south facing window.  Central MA.  Moderate snow, but just on the edge of the heavier band trying to push north of the turnpike.  Winds have been moderate with some stronger gusts.  Eyeball's guess is that there's maybe 6" out there so far.

New London had 9” in last 3 hours

200’ visibility can’t see my neighbors house 

RAP wants to dry slot us.

HRRR keeps us in moderate snow.

Def possible , of course latest hrrr keeps it going so it will probably break up since it’s been wrong the whole time 

The band does look like it may keep moving east so maybe it rots over us? Who knows lol. Incredible storm even if it doesn’t. Just sick stuff happening outside. 

Glad I managed to sneak in about 3 hours of sleep lol

Lost power and got it back. Power flashes galore.

These epic rates 

[Spaizzo]

This is Nemo 2.0 outside. My god

Ok you made me get up instead of scrolling and listening to the wind. You’re lucking out! It’s insanity here wind wise but snow falling right now for ansonia not the same in comparison to Nemo where it just was dumping buckets of snow it felt like. Although a half hour could be the difference! Either way impressive. Orange is showing high in outages in comparison to surrounding areas so fingers crossed for you!

Outages are creeping up in MA now, 55k out.

Gotcha

Even being in a well light part of town, I can’t see more than 30 feet. This is insanity!

The differential between the high-pressure and the low pressure exceeds 1978 I think so. I’m not surprised they’re gusts at that level.

[Modfan2]

Is Drier air eating at this bad from the west near 84?

[dendrite]

ACK 70mph

This is 2. “ per hour stuff finally in here. Wind is absolutely fierce

The RAP dry slots us for a while. The HRRR keeps us in moderate snow then puts the band to the west over us.

Yeah, unfortunate nest dynamics shift eastward and you lose that forcing to keep solid band

[wx_observer]

I like how this site breaks it down by county.  Over 20% of Nantucket without power, according to this.

Gusting to 14 here 

The mb differential is always fun but it mostly comes down to the strength of the storm, the LLJ, and the ability to mix it down. 10/10 on all of that down there this morning.

Radar weakened a bit here since I posted that, but it’s still sick outside.

Follower in Bozrah reports 17.5"

Windy and visibility are certainly impressive here. As far as how much snow has fallen, doesn’t look like more than a few inches, which is kind of hilarious and disappointing given we were forecasted 18-24”
