It begins
AWC met ✈️. I tell planes where they shouldn't fly and then they do anyway. Previously NWS MQT (2018-22), M.S. Stony Brook (2018), B.S. Valparaiso (2015). All thoughts/opinions mine only. He/him.
Go Birds.

I have no idea what the league is waiting for here. This game should've been called half an hour ago.

Holy smokes! A peak gust of 79 mph (35.5 m/s) at Stannard Rock Lighthouse on Lake Superior back at 1611z!
Granite Island, farther south closer to the shoreline, peaked at 75 mph (65.1 kts) earlier this morning as well.
As far as I know, there's never been a Hurricane Force Wind Warning issued on the Great Lakes...

in typical Canadian fashion this METAR is letting us know the Maple Leafs have only had 2 shots on goal so far
Just awful morning for #turbulence in the Carolinas. Turb PIREPs from the last 4 hours include SEV or MOD-SEV in:
CRJ-900 (2)

Even the WSSI Flash Freeze algorithm is struggling with the speed of the front
Trying to add up snowfall with a very strong & very fast moving front is going to be a challenge for any algorithm, which is why you end up with artifacts like this:
Is Morgantown going to get ~7" while Allentown gets 0.0"? Both are unlikely.
Taking a step back, when is the last time there was significant post-frontal snow in the Northeast?
For good anafront precip, you need the left exit region of the jet to remain behind the front, which is not the case here.
Model soundings in the Philly exurbs to the west are ostensibly more favorable, but you still have to wonder how much of the snow you're seeing is simply due to timing luck: some grid points have the very brief window of deep sub-freezing saturation falling on a 3-hourly time, and thus included in snowfall calculations, while other grid points have that burst falling between calculation points.
