For a minute it seemed like they were gonna rot but now they're making a comeback and they might consolidate. Exciting stuff. Well I'm under a seemingly nice band but it's not impressive at all. Flakes are nice, that's about it. As soon as I began to become optimistic and excited about the radar, it's not materializing down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides this March has been historic for up here. The coast can enjoy this one Yeah, I'm a bit impressed by totals here but not how we got there. It was impressive around 10-11AM then meh. Light snow currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kat5hurricane Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Still waiting for the heavier rates. It was off to such a great start this morning too. Headed out for a walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveWinter Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 The slowness of this storm sort of reminds me of the ones that Maine usually cash in on. Pretty cool stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mophstymeo Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 6 minutes ago, NewYorkweatherfan said: That just means it’s getting colder on all surfaces and it’ll be more dry snow rather than the wet big flakes. Usually that’s a good sign if you ask me! Mean? It's true. It's pixie-dusting again, but the blacktop is starting to get covered. Sort of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things seem to be progressing even slower than modeled. I’d toss the HRRR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks pretty, but I'm not sure it's translating at the surface -- at least not yet. This storm, thus far, seems like the faded rock star trying to make a comeback but the vocals just aren't there after years of hard living/partying.
