Threw it in disgust.

You guys will get your due. Sucks for tonight though because I legit thought you could pull a couple inches once you flipped with those good echoes. But the lift just didn’t quite stay big enough there being on the wrong side of the CF combined with being right on the water.

Maybe it’s taking the juice again like it did during its Brady Anderson 2015 season when it nailed every big storm.

Winding down now with just weenie flakes. Don’t think we’ll get much more unless a rogue band forms. Solid event here. Between 3-4”. Can’t complain at all. Sounds like jackpot was from roughly Jerry’s hood near Brookline/Chestnut hill down southwest to Westwood (which might be the point-jack) to prob Foxborough…there was a ribbon of 4-6” (maybe a spot 7”?) in that corridor. Some of the guidance had that exact zone as the jackpot for multiple cycles so they did well. The RGEM had it multiple cycles I think.

Man that Westwood zone just getting hammered…slowly sinking south into that Foxborough zone. They prob have 4”+ there too.

Should pick up another couple inches there anyway…some really good echoes still for the Cape over the next couple hours

It will only turn over to rain if it lightens up a lot. But anything that’s worth following on radar there will stay as snow until the end.

Yeah I’m not even in the meat of this stuff and it’s actually snowing really good here with good snow growth. I wouldn’t call it moderate but solid 3/4-1 mile SN-….it must be pounding in that stuff just east of me. I also might be getting a little bit of drift under the beam with the LLJ out of the east.

Roads totally snow covered in Boston looking on TV. Impressive. They stayed on the cold side of the CF most of this event.

You have a period of good lift in the next 2-3 hours so it’s now or never there. Hopefully you can grab a few inches of paste.

There was one year they did it on Deer island on the water treatment plant. I think that was 2018-19. Winthrop last season was 2017-18? Scooter would remember.

I turned the Xmas lights on for you @CoastalWx

Just over 2” now. Might be able to pick up 3.

CF has backed west into Milton now...it was previously just below the Braintree split but now its just west of 93 between Milton center and east Milton.

Hopefully it sags south soon...it's barely NW of Taunton

BOS with the moderate snow obs now and 30F KBOS 201854Z 36014KT 1/2SM R04R/3000V4500FT SN FZFG VV008 M01/M02 A3003 RMK AO2 PRESFR SLP170 P0007 T10111022

Yeah the LLJ is helping us from metrowest to 495 to keep blossoming that precip....ther'es about 30 knots of inflow from 950-850, but it's screwing you over at the moment. The snow does linger for a while right along the coast, so i think you'll prob get some goodies this evening after the CF finally sags SE. Hopefully its enough to grab 1-2" there

Getting some nice bands rolling through.....moderate snow and 27F....prob 1-1.5" OTG now. Hoping to get 2-3" which looks doable on radar

None of the short term guidance pushes it much further NW...i think the trajectory it's on is basically what we get....we'll see if it tries to blossom a bit further NW, but the short term guidance like RAP/HRRR aren't enthusiastic about it. They give several inches of snow to metro-west and SE MA, but no major totals.

Lets keep that stuff south of LI from sliding too far east...if that can stay over us, then I think some solid 3-4" totals are in store for BOS to metrowest down to interior SE MA...eps like Foxoborugh area but even further south once the CF drops down. But if it tries to slide east, then it's more like 1-3"

Yep

I think you'll start ripping in a couple of hours. Down to 28F here now...actual powdery snow, lol.

Coming down good now...snow growth picking up.
