That's a killer forecast upgrade for BOS. Gonna be a ghost town tomorrow. I'll be on the slopes someplace.

We're getting pounded right now in northish, westish New Jersey. It reminds me of the dry snow like when I lived in northern VT. We dont get snow with this consistency too often down here.

Need to upgrade some of those numbers for So VT! I have multiple texts from friends (trying to make me jealous as I was at work today and they were at Mount Snow) of a legit 8" at the summit/ 6"+ at the base at last chair and still coming down steady - thought up there is 12-18" by the end depending on both elevation at how much the storm revs up overnight!

The winds weren't bad today, but increasing as the day went on

So far unimpressed with what's in my yard. Drifting a bit, but I wouldn't say more than 3-4".

NWS just bumped numbers AGAIN...

 

[billski]

[Massachusetts] Gov. Patrick is urging private employers to keep workers home tomorrow.

crap. not the work part. the driving part. I can see it coming now.

And please, keep our governor out of the "bunker". What do they think, this is the end of a world war?

LOL, well I am just in the 10-14" zone so hopefully things will catch up tonight. Also hope Wachusett can squeeze a foot out of this.

My office shut down at 1pm today and called closed tomorrow at the same time. Of course everyone can work remotely these days so it's not a day off ....

Closing highways is ridiculous. I can see a snow tire requirement though.

Bill,

Just a heads up: You have Abram in the wrong spot in ME, and don't have SR on there at all... they should both be just east of Wildcat.
