Got about 0.6" from that. 22.8" Winter total so far.

Some of those are because of measuring technique also. People tend to forget that. How much is debatable but noteworthy. Will is correct though, with normal measuring, it's pretty tough to get 30" of snow on the nose. The Northshore since 1870 has seen a few since then as Will stated. A recap: 1898 (February (Lawrence, MA/ Northshore)),1969 (February),1978 (February), 2003 (December), 2005 (January). They are pretty rare/hard to come by. That's why they are usually deemed "Historic" in nature when they do occur.

Absolutely!

Good storm. 12-16" for the Boston area is a good December northeaster in any book.

It looks great to me.

That's some heavy stuff. Going to be one hell of a night into the early morning hours.

I will admit, that radar looks quite ominous for Eastern Mass.

Agree!

Not quite yet.

Been Spitting very light snow since 10:25PM here.

Banding will be the whole thing that will make or break this.

Have a good night my friend enjoy.

Nah, Congrats Fitchburg and Jaffrey on that particular model.

I think its' trying to sniff out a very sneeky layer, about 10K feet of lower BL that might get into the southern CT region. Not a forecast, but a caution as we go forward.

It's physics is superior you know. Not God, but really good. Last Global to look at before the storm.

I fully agree with you. the HRRR is not garbage. It is a good tool for "now" casting as the storm just begins. It helps you pic out the potential heavier band closer to real time.

Watching the Euro come out now before I stop looking at the Globals and focus on the Meso models.

That's a little aggressive but not by much.

Going to stay for the 12Z Euro then just use the HRRR to track the storms' short future moves.

15-1 Ratios will be the max.

Yes, correct. I wouldn't say huge but relatively significant for those along the southern and northern edges.
