Boxing day was pretty rough for some of us...

Lesson learned, don't make a 100% call until the crazy Uncle is on board.

This may be worse, might not even see a flake. And that was over 10 years ago, tech has changed a lot since then.

I’ll say this…one thing Will isn’t, is lost when it comes to weather forecasting.  You? I dunno.

Pathetic.

When you had a couple models that aren't on board especially the Euro, it's a red flag

The nam throws the timing out the window. No snow in Boston until at least 1pm? WTF?

You’ll be burned if you do that.

Pretty sure it will be partly to mostly sunny here for much of the day

You give yourself away when you say shit like this.  Makes me sad.

Minor league bats should step the fuk out the box when Will is pitching.

RI and SE mass got smoked in that one still at least. This one looks more extreme. Could only be the cape and islands if HRRR is right, and it might trend worse even still

[Spaizzo]

These early calls are the function of parents demanding earlier and earlier decisions going back about 5 to 10 years ago... I've been apart of this trend for years and it was only a matter of time before it happened.  Nobody wanted to wait until daybreak even though there were red flags this afternoon.  I'm surprised a situation like this hasn't occurred sooner.  But  I am a bit shocked by how ugly this snow trend has gotten.  I never understood the need to cancel the afternoon or evening before, but parents are adamant... I think districts should be able to alert folks to the ongoing trend and reasses in the morning.  They all use the same alerting system... And it is still early enough in the evening...

Our schools here cancelled right before the models ran south. It’s better for working parents to be able to plan childcare if needed.

I’m certainly biased on this one but I for one and certainly pleased how this storm has shaped up.

The kids don’t get snow storms on the vineyard anymore like we used too…

I was just thinking about that today, i could have swore when i was in school in the late 90s and early 2000s we never saw cancellations until the morning of, like 5AM. Almost never. Cancelling the day before a storm seemed like it was recent thing to me.

NAM is decent for the cranberry bogs. 

[Spaizzo]

has anyone else seen a bunch of large flys the past two days? I've had three in two different indoor locations? The low 60s Saturday woke them up?

No but stink bugs emerged Saturday it seems

HRRR, 24 hours apart. Just an astonishing shift.

[Childude645]

We’re gonna get smoked down here

I hope so!

Looks pretty juicy for Wey in the end. Have to sell it at this point though

gives dual working parents time to plan for childcare.   In this case there will be egg on faces especially northern CT

Why does bust seem like such an understatement for what happened today?

I think big snow for the Cape and Islands has always been an elusive beast.  Enjoy it when it happens.

maybe thursday night ends up better now

[George001]

Why does a 970s mb low over the benchmark have such a compact precip field?

Busted pretty hard up in Canada too by the look of it.

We should start a club. Maybe we can go for 10 years.

Yup. I grew up in West Hartford and went to school in the 90's and 2000's. 

1. West Hartford hardly ever cancelled...I mean ever. Hell, it was a blessing if we either had a delay or an early dismissal. 

2. There is only one time I distinctly remember it happening. I was in middle school (so sometime between 1999-2002) and we had two days cancelled in a row. Its funny because it was supposed to be a very large storm (I think a two part) and it kind of busted. I think in total we got around 8'' or something...maybe it was 10.
