? I have a foot of snow and about 20K tree work to be done from downed trees - and it's still coming.

Dude, it's not all about you.

Opinion:

So the weather, it would seem, is inverted where I live.

All winter, they kept telling us we would have snow, and all winter, people were sharing photos and complaining about that snow, except for here, where all it did was rain. That's it, rain and more rain. Except for 2 minor storms, all this winter, all we received here was rain.

You're telling me everything is fine there?

We're getting buried here in my little corner of the world. Trees are down, power lines are in the street, and everything is closing, including local stores and banks (even town offices are closed, today). If you're in the Southampton / Easthampton area, even the bushes look like they're being flattened like pancakes.

I wanted snow, and well, I finally got it. I suspect it will convert over to rain at some point.

I passed 3-4 accidents by route 2 near Shirley. It’s pretty miserable up here. When I left Natick it was rain. Forecast was pretty clear that the Boston metro area closer to the coast wasn’t going to switch to snow until noon today.

They were spot on so far in my area

I've been getting text updates from Eversource all week. By this logic, do they put their crews on standby to boost TV ratings?

Can we fire the people who over salt the roads?

We’re getting anywhere from 8-12” out here. It was a tough storm to call with the temp hovering right around freezing. But yeah, sure they should all be fired it’s a huge conspiracy

What about the forecast is wrong? Its 9am and its on target for where I live along 495.

Once you’ve lived here long enough, you learn to phase out the blizzard predictions as noise. It’s usually rain or a small amount of snow. Occasionally the opposite occurs and we get hit with a foot of snow, but that is rare.

Did you lose money gambling on snow or something?

it has only started to snow in lowell in the last hour

I have a total of 0 inches here in Needham. I do know better than to listen to the weather people.

I have around 13-15 inches by Worcester.

Yea at least a foot here in Holden and it’s HEAVY

Yea I’m in Worcester and we’re looking at almost a foot, it’s already starting to stick

Not sure where you are but this is the worst snowstorm we’ve seen this season where I am…it’s absolutely dumping in the Worcester hills with multiple power outages already. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Idk dude, it’s pretty bad out there. Try to drive down Rt9 in northboro right now and report back

Some parts of the state are getting hit hard, most of the state is getting snow later. I agree that they will tend to overestimate to get more viewers, but it’s better for the state to be over prepared than underprepared.

This is exactly why weather predictions bias towards inclement weather! It’s better to warn for rain and not have it than not warn and have unexpected rain.

Oscars season is over.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Honestly, it's better having people prepare for the worst and nothing happens than the other way around.

I'm sure your one of the first people that screams bloody murder when the weather is worse than predicted, aren't ya?

Oh ok gotcha I'm in the Berkshires,I left the valley in 04' I used to drive 202 all the time to get booze on Sundays in Athol I liked hiking the Quabbin to along with Wendell state forest

Yes! I try to go a few times a year. Will try the ice cream next time

Yea ,although I never tried ,always got the ice cream ,should have tried the sandwiches

Is the NS general store still open ,have not driven by in some time ?
