moneypitmike Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Looks pretty impressive out your way 45 db returns. Is it all snow? Hope so because it heading my way. 100%. In fact, the sky is dark. I'm sure it's due to the snow overhead, but it's dark like during a summer storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I understand it's about ratings but do we really need continuous coverage of a rain event in Boston? One of the stations has a guy walking through 1/2 inch of slush.... we live in Boston not Florida, we can handle it. This is what we call a routine storm and yet we have 24/7 coverage NAM really backed off for N NE from the 0z to the 12z. Ends up the 6z had the right idea. When people stop watching it then stations will stop doing it. Storm coverage even during somewhat tame storms scores monster ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I think Chris and I will just have a back and forth about how hard it's snowing on our houses. Maybe that BOX map is going to play out right up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Do we actually have a chance to flip back to snow? Huge flakes becoming more numerous mixing in with the sleet, but still at least 75/25 sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sankaty Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Strange storm here. Some light glaze on the trees, but less than half what we had a couple of weeks ago. Even down here, we've had a lot of sleet mixed in with the zr, which has slowed accretion dramatically. 100% sleet at the moment. I was certain we'd be hammered with zr based on the reports around us. 27F and rising pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went outside to seeif I got any sleet mixing in. Can't see any and can only hear something faint on an overturned plastic sled. But I think it's the large flakes making the noise.

weatherMA Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Just went out, weve accumulated .25" sleet in the past 50 minutes on top of the 3.4" of snow, so I'll have to edit my totals. Sleet continues, with big flakes occasionally making it snow/sleet mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
