RADAR UPDATE.. Here it comes
1:40pm IMPORTANT UPDATE:
It is here (and in some places gone already!) The incredible downpour, the shifting winds, the temp drop of 10 degrees in 1 minute, the hail. All in a line from Cape Ann to Boston, and down Rt. 95 at this hour. Won't last long, but hang on, winds to 60mph. Now clearing skies follow with sunshine from NW to SE!!!! But the cold is on its way ushered in by those NW winds!!
I finally got those pics and video up.

My mother had her grill blown away, a greenhouse leveled, still without power, and the chimney on her roof blew down! This is in southern Maine, quite a gust with that squall line.

Those winds were (and still are, just more occasionally) fierce. On my day off, sitting at home in Medford, I was taken back by the gusts at around 1pm. Checking the radar, I saw the cell right above us. Nearly knocked the postman down. A SchoolNet station near by was showing 35mph winds at the time, too. I took a few pics, and should be posting them on my blog shortly, if they're any good. This along with my timelapse movie of the blizzard from Sunday (from my weather webcam). It's been grey all day here, and now there's bright sun busting through.
That's your opensource weather report from Medford. Back to you, Todd.
PS - the bottom ad frame on here when you come from weatherman.com is tré annoying. Much in the same way that saying "tré" instead of "really" is.
