-10 here. Going for one more walk-wish us well….
Pour out some water onto an incline or pole... pretty cool, it's a rare night

-5F at 10pm
This is really impressive
Went for a walk... can't really be outside barehanded for more than a minute
I poured water down a driveway apron out of curiosity... the streams froze at ~1 foot length before they reached the bottom of the apron

That ORH ASOS is such a debacle on a potential record night.
As expected from 925mb, some of the most intense gusts and fastest plummet in past 2 hours. Should abate a bit after 10pm

At least we can say we've reached rates of 1-2 / hr for something this winter

12F to 9F in past hour, we're plummeting
Delayed arrival definitely helping
Steepest 925 advection looks incoming over next 4 hours

KMWN 1849Z 290 78G92KT –37/–37
..."Winds will continue to increase through the rest of the day, with winds speeds reaching 80-100 mph by Friday afternoon. Model guidance is also indicating that the tropopause could dip below the summit Friday night. As a result, winds will become more compressed in the lowest levels of the atmosphere, leading wind speeds to increase even further overnight Friday. The highest wind speeds will occur sometime between Friday night into Saturday morning as wind speeds ramp up to 100-115 mph with gusts up to 135 mph. Higher gusts are not completely out of the question, with the possibility for winds to peak as high as 140 mph very early Saturday morning.
Wind chills will be incredibly low and very dangerous, particularly above treeline. Wind chill values will start around 60 below to 70 below Friday morning and will continue to fall even further over the rest of the day. The coldest air from the center of the polar vortex will move through the region Friday night which will also coincide with the period of strongest winds. As a result, wind chill values will drop to a range of 100 to 110 degrees below zero Friday night.I want to emphasize the danger of this cold. In these brutally cold conditions, the risk of hypothermia and frostbite will be exponential. These frigid cold conditions will quickly rob you of body heat, with the possibility that frostbite could develop on exposed skin in under a minute. Even small mistakes can prove deadly, with a simple slip or fogged goggles leading to a potentially life-threatening situation. In this type of weather, rescue services will have a difficult time responding to any emergency effectively."

Awaiting PNS, wonder if KBOS passed 1936-37 (all time ratter) total today… still ahead of 2011-12 in futility

Nice! Hoping that propagates downstream, visibilities currently > 1 mile closer to Boston
The crappy BL temps are more apparent when snowgrowth and rates are poor
Metro area might pull off another 0.5-1" as this last band rotates in

By far, the best report I just received related to this snowstorm: "he refuses to fall asleep for his nap, he is too excited about the snow" (referring to my 2.5-year-old son)
