They don't hear plows very often and get easily confused.

Looks legit, yes bright banding some but looking at reports it' snowing hard.

noo...

it's luck - period.

we've been missed by enough narrow events to know that sometimes you get the bullet, sometimes you don't... The point is, it's 50 mile wide bullet and it could streak anywhere.  weather SNE sticks out or not means nothing.  it happened to be in unlikely path and that is all chance.

Ok...fair point, definitely lucky that the low pressure system happens to track SW to NE up the eastern seaboard.

Lets have this precipitation start a bit earlier , radar echoes are fairly close already

Such a moisture laden system with enough surprises down south that while i would not forecast crazy totals, i could see some 11,12" lollis

Observations and nowcast thread fired up.

He has a dry, sarcastic, sense of humor.

You'd think the end of the world was upon us by looking at gas stations and grocery stores.

Hope I’m wrong.    4-6” for my hood

I just got in from finishing mine. An oak across the street to the south let go of it's leaves a few days back and covered the yard again.

Love your organization.    Will your sledding areas get hit by this at all?

dude, whatever -

you are way over over assessing that thing to make some point.  not going to argue through that lens of yours...  fine, it's a common occurrence - have at it.

[SnowHole413]

Overperformer coming in hot

Thank you Dave, Its all about the kids with the Shriner Hospitals in Boston and Springfield, Yes this looks to hit most of the state with snow so it should go towards a base for the areas that don't have snow and add to the pack where there is snow.

That's the first time in a very long time i can remember that Ryan used overlapping snowfall totals in his graphics. Interesting. 

It's funny you say that. I was so busy at work today I literally made that map about 2 minutes before air. 

About an hour later I realized I did that lol

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Working until 330 tomorrow... hopefully it’s not too bad when I get out

[WinterWolf]

Wow did the Deep South, and I mean Deep South get pounded...Record breaking snows for them in lots of areas.  

 

And I remember, somebody on here saying it might snow in New Orleans with this(and it was hard to believe)..and it did...nice call!  That’s something.  Richmond VA in for possible double digit snows...this thing is juiced.   Overachiever big time down there.  Impressive.

[Heisy]

FWIW the 21z SREF made a nice shift W. Really hittin' those CCB snows.

Yea but there’s a difference between his call for historic 4” of snow based off nam weenie maps compared to what actually hapenned, flakes in the air.

Deff overperformed in many areas of the south though.
