Non stop thunder and lightening here  for almost an hour.

Is it single strokes or multiple? Is it loud or is it softer cause it's being softened by the snow? Does Jim Cantore know about it?

We discussed the same timeframe for the past 24 hours and people are ready to jump off the Tobin. 

I think the rapidly deepening storm passing inside of the 40/70 will probably just have the ccb dissipate past noon. Probably just magically vaporize.


It would be good if we had accumulating snow and we knew the ccb was coming. Right now it's not even snowing and you lose valuable hours of potential.

The storm is performing exactly as forecasted. Noontime has always been the start of the real stuff. I just don't know what else to say

There will be a good stretch this afternoon and we will likely pull double digits, but this will be forgettable on our area.

Lightning explosion showing up on lightning detection network vaisala.  Over LI and CT should shift eastward with time and develop eastward as thunderstorms on the northeastward quadrant of Low Pressure center will move into region.  Worst conditions still not expected until after 1pm for SE MA, CC and Islands.

Flake size and rates continue to improve-slowly but discernibly.   Maybe they're clearing the appetizer plates and dinner is moving in...

I don't think we get our dinner served before 1pm Jerry... we hear the lip smacking and high fives nearby in CT / Western MA, and we should get a taste later this afternoon. Just hope it's not cleared too quickly.

The promised cross-hair soundings should arrive 1-4pm with the exiting CCB, we hope

Multiple; Ryan on the air has been showing the local lightening strike map. Prolific all around my area.

I get the sense the sound is traveling a much shorter distance, and there haven't been any really sharp cracks, but it's really like being a moderate, long duration summer thunderstorm.

I think this steady ramp up is the precursor.  I'm at around 3.5 now and probably 1/hour.  And as I write the flakes get better.
