And they posted a separate MD for SCT / NY / NJ. Would have probably made a single MD for the whole area if the threat profile was the same.

Looks like you have some additional hose there--is there a reason you didn't pull the hose as far away from the house as possible?

Is that area in red at highest risk for flash flooding?

Was kind of surprised to not see this get warned.

Not sure I understand the rationale for those map projections used by fox 25 or NECN.

Getting a bit darker now in ORH and snow picking up. 32 F light-moderate snow.

Looks like it captured the location of that dry slot really well though

This dry slot is brutal...do we get in on the back end that's in NY state on its way out?

Gah--ORH getting in on that dry slot

Are my eyes deceiving me--or is that double low actually panning out.

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... 10 AM update... Extreme impacts being felt across the Berkshires with widespread power outages and travel disruptions. Locally up to 2 feet of snow has already been reported. Power outages not as widespread in northern Worcester county where around a foot of snow has fallen as of 8 am. However, heaviest of the snow will continue into the afternoon in this area along the northern periphery of the mid level low with low level jet providing strong moisture advection and forcing for ascent. An additional 8-12 inches is expected across the Berkshires and northern Worcester hills. Max snowfall of 20-30 inches in the Berkshires with locally up to 3 feet not out of the question. In the northern Worcester Hills 1-2 feet is expected with worsening conditions through the day.

Those Sterling and Holden MA numbers are impressive--I'm only a few miles from there and have about half that. But it looks to be trying to make up for it now though.

32 f with about 2.5 inches on the ground on Worcester / Holden line. It’s snowed steadily most of the night, but it’s not quite accumulating on the ground quickly so far.

Ticked up to 34 here in ORH. Still snowing, but a lot of water coming down the gutters too.

32.5 in ORH. Good sized flakes and the road is getting a coating now. Not even an inch out there yet, but it’s already clinging to the side of the telephone pole.

Down to 34 in N ORH. Not much sticking yet, but flake rate has gone up.

36 f and snowing N ORH

That's wild...ORH gets skunked with less than BOS, but only a few miles away from 20+. Brain cannot compute.

One is valid at 15z, the other is 00z...

That's not even a 10:1 map. Those totals would be pretty devastating if it's all white concrete.

That is a fantastic sunrise photo...now what was it that they say about red in the morning....?

Forget generators--that Gardner / Paxton stretch might just need to move on to chainsaws and roof trusses. It's so forested out that way too. WSSI upped them to extreme impacts.

Major impacts on WSSI look like they expanded from previous update...quite a bit more into E MA

I’d normally agree, but I live on a busy road in ORH and this year I’ve seen worse snow removal than I have in the past 13 years living here. For sub-warning events, too. They’ve had a hard time hiring enough plow drivers, from what I’ve heard.
