Unlike some other cold season wind events in recent memory, this one is during the daytime which, in tandem with heavy showers, may help to transfer low level winds to the surface.

Hiding the replies calling out this engagement bait instead of owning up to a misunderstanding. Interesting look

Good insolation and time of day makes me think of a dust devil as the boundary layer deepens and mixes down some drier air (RH on a steady decline there). Maybe the camera shows it?

As an aside, I just wanted to extend my sympathies to those affected by the federal layoffs yesterday. You and your work are valuable and needed; do not let the anti-intellectualism storming the nation now temper your fire to push the science and drive meaningful change. The fight continues.

Fri night might get close if the airport can decouple. Easier said then done though

Unfortunately seems like one of those cases where the magnitude of the low-level temp gradient will make the jump from near-no snow to warning level over a short distance.

Metrowest in the crosshairs, hoping for a near-benchmark pendulum swing tomorrow!

Since I did not upload the GIF correctly... here is the loop

[2/2] This also may introduce more phasing between northern and southern stream impulses around the mean longwave trough later in the week. Notice how less stretched the trough/vorticity is already. Hoping this leads to a solid Miller A given the extreme continental>oceanic temperature gradient.

Sable Island higher probs than Worcester, pure pain

Hindsight skews public's perception of snowy or not -> only remember the big years. The 2010s spoiled us for sure
