LOL--too funny. That is a painful sight though.

Melting? What's the temp?

We even has some pretty healthy waves coming in. I'm not sure what the winds are, the statement that was issued a couple hours ago said up to 50mph gusts. Nice. Congrats to you. Looks like you positioned yourself just right--just to your west not so much. Ripping here.

Great--I'm glad s/he is a spotter. It's going to be tough to get anything accurate. I've been in 1/4 visibility for what seems like hours and I have no snow on my car, a road that's mostly snow-free and a deck that doesn't have a flake.

Getting smoked down here. Little to show for it with the howling winds I have no snow on the deck, very little knew snow in the yard and the street it blown clear. I hope they're getting good measurements away from the water.

Beautiful shot. It's just dumping big flakes here at Pit2. Meanwhile Pit1 is getting rocked under that band. FTW in both places.

FTW at Pit2: ...Snowfall rates will reach 1 to 3 inches per hour late this morning... A band of very heavy snow in the Gulf of Maine will continue to rotate to the northwest towards the coastline this morning. Blizzard conditions are expected with winds gusting to as high as 50 mph, leading to near zero visibilities and whiteout conditions. Expect significant blowing and drifting snow with very heavy snow continuing through the afternoon hours.

IT's been ripping here for about 2 hours with the wind howling. Deck, car and street are all blown free of snow. I hope people can measure someplace to see what actually comes down. No measurements will work here. Looks like Pit1 and Hippy are doing great in this. SN+ and 29* at Pit2

That's one helluva rate. Snow's just started here; strong winds. 31*

Nice to see that narrow weenie band on the Pit. Hopefully the heavy stuff from Scooter through RI can inch back to Gynx and Kevin. Looks like Pawcatuc through SRI is taking it on the chin. 27.4* at the Pit--should be dry there. I can live with that. The probabiliies table looks to have me maxing out between 21-25". Looks like the flakes should be starting here in an hour or so. Winds cranking. I'm expecting very little snow to measure here. This will be blown up the road.

Patiently awaiting first flakes. Look to be about another 1.5-2 hours away. Meanwhile, the wind is already cranking here at Pit2. It's nice to have a blizzard warning--something we're not too accustomed to in GC. Warm. 32*

No models were showing that for last night. Yesterday's 12z and 18z runs were showing start times around 6-7 here at Pit2. They've slowed a little bit--I don't think I'll see flakes here until 8:00 or later.

Nice to wake up to a blizzard warning. Today Snow, mainly after 8am. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 34. Breezy, with a north wind 15 to 25 mph, with gusts as high as 40 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 5 to 9 inches possible. Tonight Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 31. Blustery, with a north wind 15 to 20 mph decreasing to 10 to 15 mph after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 35 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 7 to 11 inches possible. Wednesday Snow before 11am, then rain and snow between 11am and 1pm, then rain after 1pm. High near 38. West wind 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible

Everyone should enjoy a Pit2.

Things a bit slower on the NAM. Looks like first flakes don't make it up here before 8:00.

Just got up to Pit2--hoping for the best. Looks like I'll be waking just in time for the first flakes.

lol. Hopefully this only helps the Maine crew.

3km showing over 20" at Pit2 at 42; hasn't stopped yet.

Do you have a NNE pic as well?

Cautiously optismistic......but I'll keep it in check until 12z rolls through.

LOL. I'm off the diet Coke. Polar seltzer is the drink du jour. Coffee is welcome, too.

Bath, ME. 43.9N/69.8W

Agree. That said, the potential in Maine is for a lot to continue during the night as well. But I'll take whatever I can get in the daytime! You should hitch a ride to Pit2.

That same logic should then be applied to the highest amounts maps; those have a 10% chance of happening as well. Those all get celebrated.

Walking a fine line between good and great per GYX. The snowfall forecast is definitely not a final answer, but more the most likely outcome based on the current guidance available. Definitely expect to have to make some shifts to account for track variation, andmesoscale banding. One question still definitely not resolved is whether banding features with extreme snowfall rates will remain off shore or pivot into coastal Maine and New Hampshire. At this point there`s no clear answer to the question. Will have to wait for the storm to take better shape and give mesocale models a better chance to resolve these features.
