Two weeks of bitter cold. The Hudson River is a moving maze of huge ice floes today as NYC shivers on

NYC saw a significant reduction in water usage throughout the five boroughs during the Super Bowl’s #BadBunny halftime show yesterday, but in the 15 minutes right after the show ended, there was a spike in usage equivalent to 761,719 toilets flushing across town.#SBLX

Looks like MA-PL-63 entered in 21.0 inches instead of 2.1 inches of snow over Wareham. Otherwise, that's an extreme overnight snowfall total.

The latest 24-Month Study shows worsening dry conditions across the Colorado River Basin. Projected inflows to Lake Powell are now just 52% of average, with levels potentially reaching minimum power pool by late 2026. Reclamation is adjusting operations to protect water

For the curios, here is what a radiosonde observed 5 minutes ahead of the NCFR embedded in an AR with IVT of ~700 kg/ms; launched by CW3E Scripps at 12:59 local from their pier.

One of these things is not like the other 🎶🎶

A million inches. Why not.

Hurricane Hunters fly winter storms too! First of 3 Hurricane Hunters missions this weekend is underway to gather data off the East Coast ahead of developing massive NE blizzard that will wrap up like a hurricane ❄️ 🌀

Guys, it’s a “Blizz’id Worhnin”. Dunks and Cumbies might even be closed. Gotta pronounce it right and use local metrics otherwise IDSS breaks down.

There’s a reason why watches/warnings don’t go up >48 h in advance. For every storm that trends stronger, there’s one that trends weaker. A model can be better on average, but still be worse case by case Model->tools. Humans->forecast. Blind Squirrel GFS found a nut?

[Potentially Historic/Destructive Storm southeast of the BOS-PVD corridor] We are very concerned for areas southeast of the Boston-Providence corridor where wet snow combines with northeast wind gusts of 60-70 mph. Power outages & tree damage. Worst conditions Mon 4 am to noon.

Biggest remaining ? For this storm is regarding the QPF. 1) How far inland does the heaviest make it? 2) are the heaviest areas topping out around 1.8-2” or do you see areas of 2.5”. Difference between a widespread 18-24” and a widespread 24-30”

De-amplifying? The GFS model trends are for lower snowfall totals through Tri-State and southern New England.

This corner of SE Mass is particularly vulnerable to power outages associated with heavy snow and strong winds given the extensive pine forest composition.

Hurricane Hunters are currently flying the developing Nor’easter. Collected observations will go into the 00z model suite. Hurricane Hunters
