Snowstorm Wednesday 1/28

Can't wait.
Can anyone comment on the conditions before this storm? I can imagine they were pretty firm.
Hopefully there will be so much new snow we won't even be able to get down to the old stuff!!
Thanks, I love the weather chatter. I have no idea what an Omega is, but it sounds pretty convincing and when I see comments like 1.5 to 2.5 feet of snow, I get excited!

Not even 2" in Meredith yet but it looks like the heavy stuff is moving in. At this rate we'll be snowblowing at midnight

. The heavy stuff, assuming the forecast is still holding up, is definitley at least a handful of hours behind schedule. Mother Nature is going to make getting out of the driveway at 6 AM tomorrow difficult!

We're getting down here in MA. So far 4+ inches I'd say where I am just north of the MA Pike and a hair west of 128. I'm awaiting the changeover to rain before I warm up the Snowblower.

I do not think it will change over as quickly here in MA, I am in Quincy MA at work right now and we are still getting a good clip of snow and it was forecasted that it would change by about 11:30 or so here. I really hope they are wrong with the change to rain anyways, got a Big Sledding get together on Saturday! BRING ON THE SNOW!

Anyone care to enlighten us on new forecasts given the storm is a little slow today? I am hoping I am right, but I would guess that the snow/rain line is having trouble shifting North due to the cold air pushing down and the wind off the ocean has not been able to recirculate

Omega is the change in pressure over time in the vertical dimension, so you can think of it as vertical velocity. For anyone feeling a little mathletic, here's a link to equations representing omega.
