FWIW, the GFS has not been trending east and is definitely worthy of a watch for western SNE and adjacent CNE, ENY , etc. The euro has been way west up to the last run. And toss the mesos for this event... JMO

Hoping to break the ice here this weekend but just so much uncertainty with respect to the storm and operations, pretty hard to make a plan. I'm thinking it'll be skins and the Taconics at this juncture. Guess we'll see.

Yeah. For complex, synoptic scale upper-air interactions at range I think the hi-res is often a net negative... Not inherently of course, mainly because sampling and parameterization errors can propagate more easily. Don't get me wrong, I love the nammy as much as anyone, but this would not be the type of event I'd give it too much weight, at least not yet.

I think we might be able to eek out a bottom end advy event based on those synoptic charts here

3.6GHz processor? Or 3.6TB hard drive?

Once gen z figures out you can't play video games on starlink it'll be a bunch of betamaxes in orbit

Holyoke Gas and Electric maintains a fiber ring and operates as an ISP around the city. It's a pretty cool place to tour. You get to observe ops for a 33MW hydroelectric dam, a large solar installation, a municipal telecom, and a fish lift. Plus electric and internet is dirt cheap, lowest in the state, and more than 90% carbon neutral.

That's pretty sweet, thanks for posting. Interesting to have a big fat pipe but really long latencies.

EF2 115MPH

I know it's been mentioned dozens of times here already, but LOL if that STJ wave train on the GFS comes to pass in a legit nina. Just glad we're in the obs/nowcasting business and not the forecasting business. That's a helluva tricky business.

No surprise but tornado officially confirmed

Got a really good look at it from the CASA radar at UTA just north. (click to play)

If you don't care for it fine but hopefully you've tried it again after choking down that blown out catfish. That's like saying you don't like beer because you puked after slamming a Milwaukee's Best pounder in high school.

RI flounder is probably #1 and IMO flounder is the best for a fried fish sandwich. Gun to head I'm partial to a grilled or blackened fish sandwich and for that you're better off going south, be it for mahi/grouper/snapper/porgy/yellowfins etc. But it's all yummy, even boring ol baked haddock with butter and ritz crackers.

All this over a days getting longer post? Good thing LL isn't still here

yep... almost everyone I know had it in that timeframe. Not me, which I attributed at the time to a similar weird cough I had in the fall. Coincidence I guess. Regardless though, I would think antibodies might be gone by now, though there could be some residual T cell immunity.

Meanwhile the Euro says pack em inside ugly

I'm just happy the GFS and GEFS got a little more progressive with the system around Thanksgiving. Let's get that thing out of here by early Thurs morning. A lot of folks hoping to eat dinner outside. We'll worry about snow later on. That 4" in Oct has us up on climo for like another 3 weeks lol.

hunting season plus boring weather

Looks like tomorrow is the day

sorry you have to go through this, but glad she made it out of the hospital. I have no experience here, but it might be worth asking the social worker at the hospital if they can help you acquire medical grade PPE.

West Bridgewater isn't much better if coming in from the other way. There isn't a skiing Masshole alive who can't attest.

I have to say that compliance is damn close to 100% everywhere around here. I can't recall the last time I've been inside in a public place and seen somebody not wearing a mask.
