The same ones who have insisted on calling this coastal storm a “Bomb Cyclone” because they never heard the term bombogenesis in the 40 years we’ve been using it.

NWS BOS

We appear to be near the record high water level in #Red Sox Suck. However, it is within a few tenths of an inch and this will need to be confirmed with the NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) @noaaocean before we can confirm or deny whether the record was tied or broken

Wow Red Sox Suck suburbs really under water. All over snapchat. Cars almost fully under frozen ice.

I was trying to check flight status of incoming flights, one got diverted to Detroit, a few others in the air still scheduled to land. Probably closed airport to departures. If he does get in, he may not be able to get home!

Yeah I see that!! We were down to light snow in Deer Park but the band seems to be moving from west to east and we are now back into moderate snow. Hopefully those yellows make it here.

Al you are the man you stayed mainly quiet as you knew what was coming, isnt this awesome! Yeah band not quitting flakes got bigger, just saw news BRP SMRP and Hutch may close for snow removal. As posted above S of E called.

by **billg315** Thu Jan 04, 2018 1:42 pm

Snow has tapered to flurries here. Still blowing and drifting. Final tally will be between 5”-6” (unless I get another unexpected burst). I said the other day, and to Frank this morning, if I get 3-6” I’m happy with this one. I got the high end so count me happy!

by **docstox12** Thu Jan 04, 2018 1:43 pm

Back edge approaching.Looks like about an hour left here.Maybe the storm will back fill a bit.I think we have 6 now.Still heavy snow and windy.Flakes the biggest of the day.

...HEAVY SNOW INTO THIS AFTERNOON...

At 12:45 PM EST, a band of heavy snow extends along the Hudson
River corridor down through the New York City Metro. This band has
been nearly stationary over the last hour.

Snowfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour will occur at times.

Winds in excess of 40 mph are possible in this band, causing some
downed tree limbs and possibly wires as well.

Visibilities may drop to a quarter of a mile or less at times,
producing occasional blizzard conditions.

Travel is not recommended.

Good eyeball measurement Doc, I just took the official and I measured 6.2 inches. Even if we don't get another inch, and I think we'll end up with 7-8, no complaints from me.

Still heavy snow but not as heavy as it was.
