Tonight's GFS keeps most of the accumulation just to our south -- a very close call. NAM does bring the accumulating snow across our area Thursday afternoon, but only 1 to 2 inches. CMC has slower timing, bringing it in late at night, and has a wintry mix. Certainly a little something to watch with 3 days to go.

I had 9" at midnight too.

Boston's highest depth of the 2015 Winter was 37.0" and also in 1978 in the northern half of Rhode Island was also deemed a 200-year storm at the time.

This. One of the best life lessons people can learn. I'm ecstatic. This is the second 12"+ event here this season, and the first time I've had anything like that in over a decade. Sure, I didn't do as well as I'd hoped, but I'm happy. I'm happy for everyone that cashed in. I don't feel that way about snow events, but when I'm chasing high end tropical, I've felt that afterward. Less that the storm is ending because it's so intense when you're in it, but to the point @wxsniss made, it's more about the chase being over. I'll never forget coming back after hitting Helene dead center and I'm walking down this airport hallway alone in the middle of the night on my way back to the car. Just hours ago I was Superman, standing in the eyewall of one of the baddest storms to ever hit the U.S. and doing what very few people on the planet can do, and then the next thing you know I'm just a guy with a suitcase walking to his car. Even with the letdown, I can't get enough of it.

As a fellow Meridenite and, technically, a meteorologist (WestConn is the best Con). Meriden got a foot or a little more….the dry slot or “snow-hole” was real for central CT.

For sure. IMBY sport, of course. I’m not in the metros.

Albany is not really an east coast city. It’s an interior northeast city.

Damn, Rhode Island just rewrote the record books.

That 40" was unofficial. Nobody knows how that was measured, even the local Mets found it suspect with the surrounding areas.

Keep in mind though that temps are incredibly marginal in the DC metro and surrounding areas - would be a similar 33-35 and wet snow situation. Just not enough cold air to tap into here

Amounts vary a bit each run, but it has had the same general 2-4” idea for the area since 6z with a very similar snow shield. Would be nice to see something other than the GFS show this though lol

Well, unlike that @raindancewx guy, I used analogs like 2013-2014 because I thought it would be really fu(king snowy on the east coast, where most of us live. He rambled some incoherent dribble about a smile or something. Glad I went at least normal to somewhat above for snowfall where most of us live.

If we can’t get cold enough anymore in any niño regime, our snowfall would cliff-dive over the coming decades. But I also think it’s more complex than that. We just went through a LONG stretch having a +NAO dominated pattern coupled with a VERY hostile -PDO. We haven’t really had a true test of the “old days” since our last blockbuster season (2015). We have either had no blocking, a terrible PAC (thanks -PDO), etc. The beaches and everywhere north and south of us keep getting smacked, which is how we know it can still snow and snow a lot here. We’ve been insanely unlucky. Last year we JUST missed a huge storm. Two more this year. It’s almost like the snow gods are punishing us after the insane luck we had the decade prior to 16-26. Idk. I’m no meteorologist or climatologist, but I’d bet the house that we have another blockbuster year sooner than later.

12.6" East Hartford

That looks good! Awesome skills!

One of these years we're going to get a two-footer. Followed by a 1 footer. I sense it in the force.

Ya Never been drunk and Never Touched Drugs. Thanks for Playing. It's amazing how it seems like no one has ever met any Italians everyone is in here. Even on my videos with Jubilee, the Comments are all "How Many Drugs does this guy take Before going on camera?"

I’m glad I think I’m hitting the brief window of when my flight can make it back here.

Amazing stuff! 30" plus is extremely rare so cherish! My only one was January 2005 in Cambridge. (33"-34")

I'm only saying 19 because Everyone keeps telling me I Didn't get 16, as I have No proof of anything above about 17. And Neon WHO CARES what rants I type on here. It's TYPING hahaha. I provide historical information in the middle of it usually, but Just Read On. You don't have to stop and read. I'm Not Coming to your House, opening your Window and Screaming at you. And I Never Ever said I'm NOT HAPPY for You and Others! I Am! LOVE it so So much for @TauntonBlizzard2013 as well. I'm So Happy for RI! But when you are 10 Miles form 3 Feet, the Very Thing you've wanted YOUR WHOLE LIFE More than almost Anything, And you've Gone Through the Winter I have, and What I've Sacrificed to CHASE the Potential Big Ones, $1000's of dollars spent and $1000's in Cancelled gigs, and pissed off people to do it, on and on and on, All to Finally see a 3 foot Blizzard, and it's Finally FINALLY Right there...... I'm allowed to be Angry. But the fact you couldn't Laugh at my tone on the video, and were Angry at it, tells me everything. People CALL ME to Get me Ranting so they can laugh and relieve stress. Literally Call me to get me going on various topics. You guys in here want to call me every name in the book for typing. I don't get it. And I have about 12 Hobbies Neon, this is only 1, On top of my actual career. I did the running around in the snow. I Did the shoveling with neighbors and laughing. I Did the sledding. But you're not here with me, so stop Judging the posts which is 1% of my life here. And Understand the mathematics of Why this storm has broken me. And Again - It's Illegal for me to even Go Drive on TOP of it all? Because Others got 2X my totals 5 miles from me? Just adds insult to injury. And the Loss of 1978's storyline which was what we in Cumberland and Woonsocket always had.

Since Greta has forsaken us, how about a spring cancel banter thread?

Great storm. Hard to tell what we got here so may have to triangulate with spotter reports tomorrow. WMUR reports 10" for PSM. Front walkway going to have to wait until tomorrow...

I lost 2” today so 2” remaining and 3” in some areas. It took me two Weeks to lose two inches from Snowcrete Winds stil cranking
