Northeast Blizzard, Jan. 2015

I know we have a good number of members up in the northeast. Looking through the forecasts, as I'm sure you've heard, a pretty good snowstorm is getting ready to pummel those of you from New Jersey to Maine! Blizzard Warnings are up for a good portion of the coastal region, with winter storm warnings inland.

 

Averaging out the model forecast, and National Weather Service official products, a swath of 15 to 30 inches of snow looks like a good bet from the NYC area northeast through Connecticut, Rhode Island, much of Massachusetts into eastern Maine.

I curious to hear your all's experiences and maybe some pictures too! (It hasn't snowed hardly at all here :( )

I will still believe it when i see it, at least what they are saying we will get now.  Until this morning this storm was a complete miss for us and now its some big monster.

 

Well, I can't speak to the forecasters up there, but the models have been pretty consistent with the snowfall amounts being in the high category. The area affected has increased somewhat over the last couple of days.

Hmm. Something tells me that as usual we won't really be getting anything down here.

 

But I'd definitely rather have no snow than a freaking blizzard! Good luck to those in the northeast!

It looks like I am in the area near the boundary of a minor inconvenience and a good (but not epic) snow fall. I am glad I am not in central Jersey or points NE of there...

One thing about the weather in the Northeast.. Anything is possible but believe when I see it is true!!!

And even when we see it.... We already saw it before!!!!

Bring it!!!

I'm missing the brunt of the storm in NYC but I'm still in Boston which is supposed to get up to 25 inches of snow. That's on rope of the 6-8 inches we got a day ago.

 

I would say Boston might be in for it more than NYC with this one. Winds likely to be worse in Boston, near Hurricane strength.

In my experience with the two, NYC is much more windy than Boston. NYC's is surrounded by water and in certain parts the buildings just amplify it.

Actually, Boston is the windiest big city (12.4 mph average vs. NYC of 11.1 mph).

 

Buildings definitely do amplify it though.  If you want to feel some wind amplification, just hang out in the back bay by the john hancock tower.  Out by BC, you are likely getting a lot less wind.

 

Also, if you think about Boston, it's also surrounded by water.

I'm in Boston today for work. Im supposed to leave tomorrow but I'm not sure how that's going to work out. Might try to get out tonight but I'm heading back to Jersey which is just as bad.

    • A heavy n41 overlay as an acquisition condition would be a win for customers, and eventually a win for T-Mobile as that might be enough to preclude VZW/AT&T adding C-Band for FWA due to spreading the market too thinly (which means T-Mobile would just have local WISPs/wireline ISPs as competition). USCC spacing (which is likely for contiguous 700 MHz LTE coverage in rural areas) isn't going to be enough for contiguous n41 anyway, and I doubt they'll densify enough to get there.
    • Boost Infinite with a rainbow SIM (you can get it SIM-only) is the cheapest way, at $25/mo, to my knowledge; the cheaper Boost Mobile plans don't run on Dish native. Check Phonescoop for n70 support on a given phone; the Moto G 5G from last year may be the cheapest unlocked phone with n70 though data speeds aren't as good as something with an X70 or better modem.
    • Continuing the USCC discussion, if T-Mobile does a full equipment swap at all of USCC's sites, which they probably will for vendor consistency, and if they include 2.5 on all of those sites, which they probably will as they definitely have economies of scale on the base stations, that'll represent a massive capacity increase in those areas over what USCC had, and maybe a coverage increase since n71 will get deployed everywhere and B71 will get deployed any time T-Mobile has at least 25x25, and maybe where they have 20x20. Assuming this deal goes through (I'm betting it does), I figure I'll see contiguous coverage in the area of southern IL where I was attempting to roam on USCC the last time I was there, though it might be late next year before that switchover happens.
    • Forgot to post this, but a few weeks ago I got to visit these small cells myself! They're spread around Grant park and the surrounding areas, but unfortunately none of the mmwave cells made it outside of the parks along the lake into the rest of downtown. I did spot some n41 small cells around downtown, but they seemed to be older deployments limited to 100mhz and performed poorly.    
    • What is the cheapest way to try Dish's wireless network?  Over the past year I've seen them add their equipment to just about every cell site here, I'm assuming just go through Boost's website?  What phones are Dish native?
