I know a NatGrid lineman posted here and they told him to pack for a week.

Yeah, there was a storm two years ago in February that had over 100K outages in RI with 7-8 inches of paste.  That was minus the wind potential this storm presents.  If the 10-15” amounts come to fruition, along with the wind, get ready for a few nights of board games.  The infrastructure in RI and Worcester Hills is a joke.

If it is a powder event (which seems highly unlikely for most) no issues.  But paste and winds equal dark nights and gennies.   Good like to you folks.   You saved my azz in 2008

Reggie is really close to a lot more...it's counting a lot of the precip during this time frame as rain, but you can see we're below 0C at 850 already...so gotta keep a sharp eye

Yeah, it has 2m in the 40s in CT at 48 with 850s around zero. That would be impressive.

I was pretty happy the “bomb cyclone” turned out to be powder.  Nobody wanted to be outside in the sub-Arctic days that followed that beast.  Is the media just not buying the snow potential or are they playing catch up at this point?

That's the key, multiple tide cycles. We don't get those very often, and when we do they usually end up in the history books.

I think blow back is going to be a problem in the PSM area. That first tide gets into Great Bay but the east jet won't let it retreat back out to sea before the next tide. Can't forget inland flooding/runoff exacerbating it in places too if it stays mild along the coast. 

35 ft seas now on WW3

Went out for a run, but the lack of updates on the GFS is telling lol. Looks more like a few slushy inches than blue bomb on mobile. Round and round we go. 

Not that I'd base a forecast solely on the 18z runs, but it's a new solution every time.
