yup...that's a beauty of a shortwave digging in and amplifying.

I could see accumulating snow possible for far southeastern Mass Wednesday night into Thursday with that system. That's a heck of an amplifying shortwave trough moving across the region. In fact, I would not be surprised if that ended up resulting in SLP a bit farther south and west than what the GFS has. Wouldn't take a heck of a lot to get it to blossom a bit earlier

BUF gusted to 70 mph about 30 minutes ago...nice

yeah I don't understand why there isn't at least a wind advisory into CT and arguably even a HWW.

Feb 06 was awesome in West Hartford. Got 14" in 3 hours with thunder snow. Ended up with 27" I believe

Was that the one where the SLP got really low and it resulted in the precipitation to become more banded in nature versus a uniform precip shield. It was like a tropical storm with heavy bands of snow and nothing in between.

Very odd. I was just looking at bufkit, both NAM and GFS for BOS and it is going to rip tomorrow. Even the NAM which tends to undermix has gusts > 50-55 mph.

Surprised the HWW doesn't go out to eastern Mass for tomorrow

The fog is pretty wild

Just checked the power outages and hardly anything lol. Just over 8K within New Hampshire

I don't think you're going to see much in the way of damage or power outages with temps hovering 32 and moving into the daylight hours

It's so bad here. Back in 2021 a few months after my girlfriend and I started dating, she told me how bad it was here with the plows on the road and I didn't believe it lol. Then during the 2021-2022 winter she ended up in the hospital for a bit and we got a winter storm...think it was just shy of 7". They didn't even plow the road until several hours after the storm was done. And because its one of the last roads to get touched, everything is caked down because of cars traveling.

Light freezing rain here. Glad I don’t have to travel tomorrow. The road and side roads to the main road are an absolute disaster. They do a horrific job plowing those here. Barely even seems like they did the road next to me. It will be a total ice rink in the morning.

Heck of a storm for the Great Lakes region with it

Will give this a C+/B- forecast The bad: 1. definitely was not far enough northeast with accumulating snow. Reason being I thought the drier air farther north and east would be a problem, which it was but not to the overall extent. 2. The re-development. I was not expecting much in terms of re-development but that was enough to give many an extra few inches. 3. snowfall rates ended up being more than I was anticipating. I was in the thinking of up to 2-2.5” per hour while the reality was 3-4” per hour. This was a big factor in going with 4-7” versus something like 6-9”. The good 1. was happy with the fact that majority of the snow fell in a 3 hour window. 2. Was happy with the cutoff that occurred within CT between the heavier banding and when banding would begin losing some of its strength.

A lot to like about the pattern moving through January. Have to hope stuff times right but liking the signal for some coastal potential.

Looks so beautiful outside

No complaints about that. Let’s keep it rolling through January. Maybe we can even net potential for a larger storm

Exactly 10” on the season so far. Not bad for December.

4.3” final northeast side of Springfield! Picked up another 2” after going to bed. Looks amazing outside

2.3" so just under an inch over the last hour. Hoping light snows will continue long enough to end up with 3".

been fun watching that across northeast PA. Wondering if that can even fill in some across the Lower Hudson. some nice s/w energy hanging back

For some reason I thought I went 4-7" here but I checked my map and I am in the 2-4" zone so I will hit that.

just measured 1.5"

yup still coming down nicely! unfortunately I don't think I'll hit my forecast here but this is fun regardless.
