yeah. fuck me.
eastern CT here. Last I checked. "5-10" predicted.
there's a good 20inches out there this morning. still white out conditions. supposed to go till 5pm. heavy, wet. and wind is blowing it horizontal as well.
40-60mph wind gusts. 30mph sustained. blizzard.
RI/eastern mass, and cape is getting it even worse.
I still have power, but others are out, and this wind with heavy and wet snow, there is a good chance more coming.
we still had 6-8inches from the last snow too.

DC area got the under, but along the coast got annihilated. The hockey teams flying in to Miami instead of New York was a good call.

I looked at the weather this morning and we were under a red flag, low humidity and high wind warning. I assume that meant later in the day because at the time the wind was about 5mph and the humidity around 40%.
Edit- just looked at 5pm. Wind 11mph, humidity 29%. Talk about warnings for nothing at all. Few years ago we had humidity down to about 8% for a few weeks which is nothing other places but extremely dry here when the woods all have a foot of pine straw all the time.

We got a lot of snow in NJ, but after noon it warmed up and like half of it melted already. Still a lot left over and there was unfortunately still some lingering from the last storm.
its supposed to get in the 40's this week, so we'll see what happens.

NJ has different elevations that can change a storm's output just depending on location. It can snow in North Jersey, but a half hour away in South Jersey its raining. NYC is one elevation pretty much surrounded by water. Maybe as it moves east it picks up moisture from the ocean and dumps more there?
My area, just north of Boston only got about a foot. Sucked though, my snowblower decided to break something internally. Motor runs fine auger's not turning...took me, wife, and son ~2 HR to shovel with my neighbor using his thrower on the plowed drive entry...this weekend I get to disassemble the thing and see what broke so I can fix it.

We got hit pretty hard in our section of Nova Scotia, good dumping of snow and whiteout conditions yesterday. No power failure this time which is nice

Well spring arrived and didn't last long. At 2am it was 71f and high tomorrow of 85. Supposed to rain which means tonado and thunderstorm season is here as well. March has always been the worst month to get out on the lake and do some fishing. I've had thunderstorms, wind storms, and once got hailed on.
January and February work out much better oddly enough.

Forgot, you in Louisiana? There were a couple of maybe dubious warnings this evening, I think. There's the usual watch vs. warning meme:
Thing is, you can't 100% tell if a tornado exists just from looking at radar, only really good indications. So you see a couplet + hook echo + maybe a ball of shit on the correlation all in the same spot on radar, pretty good indication that there's a tornado currently going, but can't 100% tell without someone actually looking at it. You'll see on tornado warnings that they're either considered "Radar Indicated" or "Observed." Radar indicated means yeah, they're looking for the signs on radar and they're pretty much all there. Observed means that a spotter has actually seen it visually and called it in. The problem sometimes with just the radar indicated ones is that radar obviously isn't always accurate and contamination can happen that can look like say a couplet or a debris ball, rotation, etc.

No I'm in TX about 60 miles from the LA border, but the same thing when I'm 10 miles away from LS at my parents house in MS.
I live on top of a small hill. Through the years had several storms that get trees down and then skip over the house and down trees on the downhill side. It's not much of a hill but nothing has happened to the house. They had a tornado nearby the said was a tornado. I went and looked at it and it looked just like the 70 mile length of straight line winds maybe 30 years ago. No spiraling or whatever. It just looked like someone took a dozer and knocked them all down the same direction. Same as stuff was when we had the big straight line wind damage. That was a massive event, no tornados but it depressed the timber market for a year since all the timber companies just picked up all their downed trees and those on the national forest under contract.
The only damage I got then was a power line was down across the road, one of those steel bare cables. I did not see it and it caught the top of my truck. Luckily it wasn't energized or maybe it was, nothing happened at least. Well that and no power for a week.
There were no warnings at all. I was in college and in our meeting room for the college of forestry they have a TV behind a big glass partition. It stays on the weather channel since all the outdoor labs and such. Nothing came up at all. I didn't know it till I hit the power line and then nothing but downed trees for miles and miles.
But anyway I get watches and warnings. Other than not going anywhere nothing much changes for me. No basement obviously and I'm not near a big window most of the time.
