I see right thru him. He hates the kids always inside and him having to watch them . He longs for the days when he can just send them outside all day and he knows how far away that is. So he just comes on here and acts like grumpy 85 year old . 

Hell I feel cooped up inside all day every day, then go outside after work and at best it's cold with dim sun every day. Would be much more tolerable with travel and normal activities.

He used to jump all over people for rushing spring at work. Welcome to backdoor season "this is what you all wanted", not sure what's happened to him recently. 

Yeah with all the Napril talk we kind of forget how much Napril usually blows. 

The Navy must've contracted George to keep running the NOGAPS out of his mom's basement. He must be looking at different output than we are.

the NAVGEM doesn't show anything remotely close to a blizzard

18-24'' on the NOGAPS though.

Yeah I wasn't kidding when I said I've enjoyed this winter. I got my big dog, torched it away in a week, avoided big cold, and other than yesterday we've pretty much avoided the glop events. Winter is long here and it's nice to have one that feels a little shorter. Hopefully we can start warming it up a bit in March.

Yeah I'm over it too. If winter could be one biggie and 55F and dry the rest of the time I'd be ecstatic. 30F and dry with 1-3'' every 5 days is getting old fast. 

The negativity regarding this winter as a whole is kind of surprising to me. We've gotten a couple double digit snows and several refreshers, and it feels like it hasn't gone above 40 since November outside of the grinch storm. Pretty wintry winter IMO. 

NAM is like two tenths here over the span of 24 hours. #nape

So my wife started to get sick last Thursday... lost taste and smell sat night... got a pcr and rapid Sunday morning. Rapid was positive... we are assuming pcr will be as well, but still waiting on result. She has had mild flu like symptoms since.

I woke up with body aches and a headache today, so I went to get tested... both pcr and rapid. My rapid was surprisingly negative, obviously still waiting on the pcr.

Can anyone speak to the accuracy of a negative rapid test for me based on this timeline?

I got a rapid a little while ago and they said that if symptoms started day of it might be too early for the rapid to pick it up. The PCR should though. 

Trending toward cirrus at best, nuisance at worst N of the Pike. Even if it comes back some it’s going to be a prolonged, light, annoying advisory event. Good luck CT.

30F with fzdz

With my wife having Covid now, and me possibly having it too, I’m all in on spring and nicer weather at this point.

Have a shed being built and I’m putting in a fire pit as soon as the weather gets better

Yep. We nape.

Absolutely, they make delicious stuff. Headway is always in my fridge. 

Yes! The little packie down the street from me had Crucial Mass and Headway. Practically lived on those two during quarantine.

@Damage In Tolland Thanks for the tip on the Fat Orange Cat dude. Having a "Baby Kittens" now and it's very good. 

Have you been to Counter Weight? When I was down in CT during March and April they were my go to NEIPAs. 

I'm drinking a really nice DIPA from Spyglass in Nashua. Anyone who likes NEIPAs around here should get some cans from them.

2008 ruined ice for me. It’s going to be a long time until anything even sniffs that. Legendary ice.

Yessah!! Combined with no melting in between 

I think the second one has more ZR potential than the 17th. 17th looks more snowy/scalpy to me. Second one is also D6-D7 so we're a long ways out. I love big ice just as much as the next guy and would much rather have ice than two miserable PITA kitchen sink events in a row but I don't see generator stuff as it stands right now.

Next week looks like it's going to really blow. I'm ready to nape.

Both storms have potential for 1” of icing on trees . That’s big. Sorry you don’t like it 

No way. Not enough liquid and too much liquid is "wasted" on snow/sleet. I don't see how this is a 1'' of accretion type of signal. 

Edit: Unless you mean combined, which would make more sense, but still way too much QPF is going to be snow and sleet for huge ice like that.

People post what they want ... it's fun and all... annoying for those trying for objectivity and lucidity to wade through a cackling bus-stop of poorly comported audience members...

buuut, can we reign in the "big" adjective on the front of the ice ?  

not sure what other mets and skilled enthusiasts are seeing but this doesn't quite have that kind of look to it .  I guess 'big' in that context is a bit subjective... but big is usually got a historic connotation to it and it really shouldn't in this - for now.

Ice storms seem to almost need now casting more so than snow storms - there that.  Probably owing to the fact that the models don't resolve the lowest 100 ... 200 mb of the atmosphere as well, so cold wedging can be "invisible" ... But I've seen ice storm warnings end up forgettable ...while advisory for winter weather leads end up being 1:10 years deals. These a still fast moving system and probably the QPF is overdone as it is.. .. 

Agree 100%. 0.25 - 0.5'' of glaze on the trees? BFD. 

Yeah, it's going to be at least an advisory level thump here then just enough sleet to make it impossible to clean up. Can't wait!

Pike north or especially Rt. 2 north might cash on some decent snow next week. Looks really gross for you southern folks.

What sort of annual income does a family need to be able to legitamately afford a $500-600k house?  I'm not even close.

 

And if you’re single and in your 20s thinking about buying around here you’re really fooked.

Nice band from ORH county to Middlesex county now

 

Maybe our first time in ~20 dBZ returns all day but still can't lose the baking powder. Just not going to happen.

Have we not had a SWFE or a coastal front set up along 495?

Ray moves south and it's just going to be SWFE scalper after SWFE scalper. Maybe a few canal huggers in between.

I would say that is more elevation.

This spot is a relative snow-hole.

Yeah, bad example. The latitude helps more with avoiding ML warmth in some of those marginal scenarios. MV is a relatively shitty spot for biggies, I agree.
