[N. OF PIKE]

Why did I have to work.

scott when do you think you can get home (or try)?

[SeanInWayland]

Well, around 26" here in Wayland now, though I will get out again in a few minutes and try to make a set of measurements so I can take an average.

 

Heading to the mother-in-laws on Jamaica Pond (edge of Boston proper for those not familiar) later this afternoon to bring her supplies--that should be an interesting drive.

I don't know. 

[Damage In Tolland]

Why did I have to work.

Why would you go in? I don't get it

[Hoth]

There is no way BOS is under 20" now. May be closing in on 25".

My thoughts as well. Just got back in. Dumping under that band, but no wind. Accumulating beautifully.

[mahk_webstah]

rap gives us another foot or so and i already have 15

what is that rotating thing off of NH and ME coast that seems to be pushing NW?

I think I see it already energizing the band near PSM,Nh.  It will probably filter down and destroy Eastern 1/2 of Essex and S shore

[BostonWX]

Probably 25-26 here

[JC-CT]

Why would you go in? I don't get it

 

Meteorologists should take the day off when there is weather.

[Damage In Tolland]

There was a travel ban..he wasn't essential personnel..he has a 45 minute drive on a good day. There was a blizzard. Either the company gives you a day off or you call in

We're toast.

No, I agree. Work from home.

Just bustin. The band rotting 5 miles to my east is making me cranky.

[CoastalWx]

Why would you go in? I don't get it

 

I am in.

[40/70 Benchmark]

The 15z run wason ewall...though you can get the latest runs with uglier graphics on the ncep site

That has to be off it's rocker, no?

 

It lays the band right over me, but rad is hugging the coast...

 

What do you think?

[CoastalWx]

I had to work Kev. I have tomorrow off so going home later, handcuffs or not.

[Damage In Tolland]

No, I agree. Work from home.

Just bustin. The band rotting 5 miles to my east is making me cranky.

In this day and age..I just don't understand a company that would make someone with a young family or any family..risk life and limb in a raging blizzard.. It sucks.

 

Looks like those guys are cleaning up there. 35-40 inch totals

[Bryan]

Why did I have to work.

Not to rub it in but definitely missing out, been absolutely beautiful here.

[SouthCoastMA]

2" per hour.

[Colonel Badger]

I don't know.

They have you in the Residence Inn ?

[geo1]

I have about 18-20 inches so far on my street! No plows all day gotta go out and do round 3 of shoveling horseshoe driveway ftl Wilmington MA

[kevin1927]

If measured correctly, this could come close to breaking Boston's all time snow record, no? I know Logan can sometimes be lower than surrounding areas though.

[Dan]

He is considered essential personnel, which why he and several others are there.  Forecasting is still going on across the US and the world.  The weather doesn't stop in the rest of the world if we are getting snow here.
