Everything that's related to Boston Weather: Forecasts, School Closings for reasons other than pandemics, Maps... You name it!

A fairly simple subreddit. All posts are fair game as long as they are related to Boston/New England weather with one exception:

DO NOT POST A SINGLE MODEL RUN JUST BECAUSE IT SHOWS A SNOWSTORM! If you look at a forecast model and see a storm a week away it is better to wait. If you do decide to post models it should be a part of a collage showing the solutions from multiple models (via tropicaltidbits or pivotalweather) so people understand the wild swing that might be between the models or if they agree. You should also add what your thinking is regarding the models and what beings you to your conclusion. We don't want to spread fear and misinformation because a couple of runs of one model are juiced up. Thank you! (For those that are new or still learning meteorology: if you see a storm on a model see if established meteorologists on Twitter are speaking about it - posts from them and their speculation is seen as coming from a knowledgable source but if you can amend your post if they add any further insight like a storm getting stronger or weaker.)

Maps, forecasts, school closings for reasons other than pandemics, questions about weather, memes about the weather, etc. Are allowed.

Follow Bostonforecasts on twitter @bostonforecasts For biweekly weather throughout the year and snow maps.

@rykinder on venmo if you want to add to the coffee that keeps me awake and replying to everyone fund.

IF YOU SEE A FORECAST MODEL POSTED: Keep in mind that things like the GFS, Euro, etc. outputs run multiple times a day and refine over time. Even still, they aren't going to be precise and take interpretation. All this is to say: if you see a forecast model posted with huge snow totals take it with a healthy dose of salt and consult other models on sites like tropicaltidbits.com.

Meta: does anyone else hate all the posts from the paywalled newspaper?

I liked the range of posts and maps we would get from our regular posters. Now mosts posts are the posts are all from the globe and don't include maps outside the paywall and certainly not maps from 6 different sources.

Should we ask our mods to limit self promotion posts and/or ban the poster or something else.

If you like the BG posts please include that too.
