Snow No!

I apologize for my silence yesterday. Although the only one who seemed to miss me very much was my mom so mom, this post is for you!

Just a quick tidbit for now as I am writing this on my lunch break.

- Storm is a go. Likely to start snowing between 12AM-2AM tonight.

- Worst of the storm will most certainly be in the wee morning hours and into late Wednesday morning. Which makes a morning commute likely impossible.

- I have seen/heard a lot regarding totals. 18 inches is unlikely in most places. The storm will move out too fast to drop that much moisture. I would guess 10-14 inches is a good bet from RT 2 south to Plymouth. The higher amounts will be focused on RI and central CT.

-Storm undergoes "Bombogenisis" which is coincidently enough my new favorite meteorological term. It basically means that it will intesify very quickly once the Low reaches the ocean overnight. Thunder snow? Possible in some areas, mainly to the south of MA though.

- I would imagine that the real heavy snow is done by mid afternoon tomorrow. Lingering snow showers are likely, but the storm looks to be moving a bit faster than predicted. Winds will be very strong tomorrow though in the wake of it all.

That is all I have for now. At this point, its just about time to stop looking at models and to start actually looking at real time data and seeing just how this storm takes shape!
