I probably won’t do Funky’s anymore while I’m teaching my course at the university. I don’t want to bump into any of my students. I plan to teach the course summer of 2025 and possibly 2026 but not afterwards. I’d consider another venue but I realize Funky’s is one of our mainstays. I thought I found Clarkes but who can remember details >10 years ago. I do remember looking at a hellacious torch 4-5 days out in 2017 that never materialized and we actually got snow and ice. I think Scooter and Will were chuckling about the 84 hour NAM wondering if it was sniffing out the cad. It was.

A lot of us knew you way back when......

I can’t do 12/14 at Funkys. Week of 12/16 doesn’t work for me either. What about 12/30 at Clarkes? Or maybe 2 weeks later (1/13/25)?

I give you permission to wait until the gefs. Using a 384 op is basically worthless especially when it’s been changing dramatically run to run.

Primshine-stop pontificating on clown range op solutions. Post ensembles to make your point.

It was a graupel shower. I was driving in it and was able to assess.

Perspective: 2 winters ago BOS had its coldest temperature since I was 10 years old. It can still get cold. The difference is the season is shorter vs decades ago.

Gefs and eps are better aligned in the long range now. Looks like a half decent look heading into holiday week.

Hrrr shined with this event it seems.

Snow covered landscape this morning-maybe an inch by eyeballing? Trees caked and a nice wintry look today.

Turned into a chilly rainy night. We’ll see how close hrrr is when I make my 7am pee run before going back to bed.

Shut off now. OES moving over eastern MA/RI. Meat is still west of us.

Snow has begun. Tiny flakes but steady light snow here on the corner of independence and south street Putterham area.

33/27 on the corner of VFW Pkwy and Independence.

No thanks.

Icy. But trend over the next 5-6 days should help sort it out.

It seems we’re in a period of high volatility in both directions. At the very least wx will be interesting.

585 on gefs is about 1500 miles further south.

Can you post the gefs for the same hour considering it’s day 13?

Not perfect but definitely an improvement on 12Z guidance today.

HRRR too. Odd setup for snow but some cold infusion in the early hours of tomorrow may make it work.

I may not be awake if it happens but a resounding maybe.

I thought I saw a weenie flake about 7:30PM. One flake or dust particle. I’m not counting it. Another cold early December night. 12/1-8 will certainly average solidly subnormal. Next week looks above unless we can pull off a scooter high.

NAM says why bother for 95% of us.

That little snow shower is blowup over Wolfie
