That was a good storm with a solid 6-10” front ender…really nasty cold tuck with ice all the way into BOS and SE MA the next morning. Eventually we all warm sectored though in SNE except maybe the deep valleys near Hippy/Your old neck of the woods and N ORH county.

Sunset looked nice tonight behind the ridge line with the snow and lights. Grabbed this pic around 4:30.

Yeah it’s been kicked down into South America. That period between Jan 3-6 looks really ripe at least.

Very little cold air for that new years threat so it will be marginal and likely favor NNE and/or interior.

EPS 11-15 day composite. That’s pretty classic…even with a little STJ involvement for once as others have pointed out. Potential and verification are two different things though. Hopefully it produces.

Was in Boston last night and even though I already knew they did well in the storm, it still surprised me somewhat to see how much snow they had. I guess 2-3 years of them getting skunked has started to numb me…I always expect the snow to disappear once inside 128 but it got meatier and meatier. Looked and felt like deep winter there. Great to see during the lead up to Xmas.

I guess maybe. I don’t really make a distinction between a coating and an inch at 20 or 25 to 1 ratios…other than statistics on the seasonal snow totals. It could easily just dry out and be a couple hundredths. If we were getting widespread 0.1-0.2” QPF it would be more interesting.

Looks paltry for SNE. It has a little more QPF than other guidance but we’re still talking under a tenth.

Only 13 days to go! The longwave look is quite nice though for that period in the Jan 3-5 range. So we could def cook something up there.

Not bad. That might be the high today…maybe another degree but hard to get more diurnal warming after 1pm near the solstice. BOS will miss their record low max by only a degree or two today. More snow OTG than in 1989 though…

Nice band over mid cape

I could see N ORH county doing better than most in SNE but for the majority it’s a few flakes to maybe a coating.

Might get some brief LL convergence too overnight near the canal. If that happens, could be a brief time of enhancement. Pretty cool that a good chunk of the Cape is gonna get their second white Xmas in 3 years. Many on the cape (including my aunt and mom’s place in Yarmouth) had OES on SW flow overnight into Xmas morning in 2022.

Next one will go south like Jan 2004 and nail NYC while we get an inch of arctic sand.

8F this morning with squeaky snow under foot as I took out trash. December of yore feel.
