The bullet points were in order. I wasn't talkinh about the first storm. I'm talking post storm.

 

This situation is anomalous though - I think one should look at this outside standard conventions... 

 

The circulation arcs are exceptionally large, as I was just mentioning... Bullet points are bullet points; but the assessment behind them should consider the unusual totality of it all.

Lol...sea breeze at BOS....dropped 4 last hour.

 

I've opined this in past years ... how, February 8th every year, at our latitude, seems to demarcate a change in the solar insolation ability to modulate temperatures.   It's really kind of my own little private first day of spring.  

 

Today the sun on the face feels warmer than it did two days ago ...well, heh. That is, if it were not snowing two days ago.  It happens every year. 

 

Go out to a parked car in a parking lot and the same sunny day two days go does not warm the interior nearly as much as it seems to crossing the 8th of February.  Obviously this effect gets more and more with each passing day.... until we start dimming later next mid August...  Then come November 8th, gone.

 

But, that sea breeze is definitely because the sun has baked us clear to the upper 40s, and it is very spring like outside.  Edit, I just looked ...I'm not sure that's a seabreeze by the same mechanics tho - interesting.

What time is the now going to overspread the area? I have to drive from Pepperell to Weymouth for a wake tomorrow afternoon so would appreciate any thoughts on the timeframe ie start time for snow overspreading area and height of storm etc. My impression is Im in trouble. Thanks in advance.

Snowing in the morning. Not terrible in our area at first. Afternoon might be a mess though.

The further SE it will be worse and sooner
