Current 850mb temps and Metars. Took a while but that freezing line aloft finally pushed off the coast overnight.

That freezing line is a must to be past you for snow, such as why the MA capes are rain right now, its not cold enough at the mid levels. Then you have those spots on Long Island where it needs to be a tad colder than just near freezing due to Water temps and yesterdays warmth lingering around and such.


The heavier the precip the better it is to cool the column going down.





A look at the Pressure and winds at Surface, Mid Level, and Upper Level.

Basically winds are coming from the north at the surface and mid Levels while there is a Southerly flow at the Upper levels (direction moisture is moving in general)

BTW ... Welcome into the cold snowy period. (at least for the next 10 days). This is the beginning of it.


Radar loop and metars past couple hours. You can see & confirm with the metars who went from rain to snow.


I'm hearing reports of Thundersnow?! Indication of strength this storm is showing!

This is nuts. Turning out to be a bad storm for the trees. Almost half foot of heavy wet snow is too much for the Arbs..


Time to shake them off. Shoveled twice out there and its heart attack type snow. Be careful guys

This was a nice morning surprise. Very nice looking outside, sad this is the big snow of the season so far. Wish this happened a couple times a week
