Holy Mackerel -- That Hit Fast -- Overnight -- Ten To Sixteen Inches Of Snow In Eastern Massachusetts -- December 17, 2020

Midnight. Electricity should be dirt cheap. Link here to ISO-NE.

Right now: surged to over $200 / MWh (should be $10 to $20; maybe even negative if renewable energy was doing what we were promised.

Coal should be zero percent: it's 4%.

Oil should be zero percent: it's 1%.

Hydro up to 8%. For some reason, natural gas is not providing a larger share.

ISO-NY not as bad Long Island only $67/MWh. 

Expect to see energy outages. 

Boston: 

BOSTON (CBS) – Gas up the snowblowers, a major winter snowstorm is headed to Massachusetts!

It has been a while since we have had a storm of this magnitude for our entire area. In fact, you have to go back to March 14, 2018 for the last snowfall in Boston resembling anything like what we are about to receive (Boston got 14.8 inches in that storm).

It is even more rare to get a storm of this size before Christmas. The last time we had a foot of snow from a storm pre-Christmas in Boston was back in 2008 (12.5″ on December 20).

Worcester had a foot of snow (12.2″ to be exact) back in December of 2019, but this storm will likely exceed that as well.

I will sort these graphics out later:
