My First HECS on the Boards.....

[Tropopause_Fold]

1/2sm in HYA now...Go Phil!!!

ripping pretty good

[SnowMan]

It had 17 in Boston Downtown

Any idea what it showed for the North Shore? Similar to Boston?

[dryslot]

I'll go with the euro's qpf.........

[ineedsnow]

i might get more snow in this storm then i had the last 2 years

[DomNH]

I'll go with the euro's qpf.........

12z?

[dryslot]

12z?

Yes..

[CCPSUSuperstorm2010]

Weatherwiz, that is pretty awesome, unfortunately I live in the mixing zone and expect to change to rain. I am a little warmer then HYA and I will most likely not see any heavy snow accumulation. I can't wait for the 1250pm est buoy data update for the buoy southeast of Nantucket, MA. This buoy will likely have the best data regarding the potential intense bombogenesis of the low as it makes its closest approach. We will dry slot for a time tonight as well.

[powderfreak]

Doesn't mean much yet FWIW. If it wraps up it wraps up, won't really matter.

Too early too tell, we are in the first inning of what will likely be an extra innings game.

It just won't go down quietely, tihs one is still busting forecasts.

Yeah agreed.

Man the RUC is a horrific model because it continues to track the low to the eastern tip of Long Island with much of SE Mass getting a dryslot and p-type issues, lol.

[BostonWX]

Yep. 18 is better than 17. Thanks for the replies btw.

No prob. And I'm liking the position of the CF front for us. Im sitting at 27. CF looks like its around South Weymouth and Hanover. I think we're golden. Its just a matter of where this localized banding sets up, and with a NE wind like this, I think its SW Norfolk CTY-Canton. I usually miss out on the very most by a couple miles.

[DomNH]

Yes..

Well, don't leave us in the dark...what'd it show .

[Boston-winter08]

Yes..

details?

[BostonWX]

Any idea what it showed for the North Shore? Similar to Boston?

It was all 16's for Essex county

[weathafella]

12z?

It's pretty robust further north. ...in fact everywhere.

[tavwtby]

nice band moving up through CT

[CoastalWx]

Euro is a little east by about 20 miles or so perhaps. Looks like low may go just east of Chatham. It still has that qpf max over srn Maine.

[dryslot]

Well, don't leave us in the dark...what'd it show .

Its only out to 30 and the low is still in the Gulf Of Maine

[weathafella]

New Euro continues the trend of keeping taint further SE. We're getting buried IMBY....I'm growing in confidence. The Cialis is working.

[Southshorewx]

Really coming down here at the moment! Heading out to gas up the truck, grab a few pizzas sit back watch football and watch things get real! Good luck to everyone!

Marias or Harbor house?

[DomNH]

It's pretty robust further north. ...in fact everywhere.

At least an inch of QPF for a lot of us?

[dryslot]

At least an inch of QPF for a lot of us?

Mimimum for most.........

[weathafella]

At least an inch of QPF for a lot of us?

ASH looks to be about 1.25.

Just looked at the 12z GFS soundings.

All Snow!

[powderfreak]

This needs to be posted and saved to show how awful the RUC is.

Massive dry slot by 1-2am Yeah, right.

[DomNH]

ASH looks to be about 1.25.

Similar to the 00z....what I wanted to hear.

[Clinch Leatherwood]

For those that want to see what is going on to the SW, here's a cheat sheet...you can have it display 6 and 12 hour QPF and compare it to the NAM and GFS. You can move it around up the coast too...wish Boston had this link on its site it's awesome.

You can't look at that and say any model was terrible. If I had to give a nod it would probably be to the GFS esp with regards to precip speed but the NAM has everything on track in NJ as we approach 18z.

btw GFS ens not having the same issues.

[CoastalWx]

It trimmed qpf just a bit over western areas. 1" line goes from nw corner of CT through just west of ORE and into Dendrite land.

[dendrite]

At least an inch of QPF for a lot of us?

1" line is about EEN/AFN-LCI-IZG

[Tropopause_Fold]

i just want to hang onto frozen until 6 or 7pm

[Clinch Leatherwood]

Woops here's the cheat sheet

[Damage In Tolland]

Still 1.25 most of CT?
