@The 4 Seasons looks like 7” will do it for this storm. 16.0 for the last storm

Welcome to the life of a snow enthusiast on the coastal plain. For anyone living on the ocean they know this feeling all too well. I have had storms where it snows from Inland all the way to the ocean down in Plymouth and up in Boston but not in marshfield/scituate/cohasset. Its part of the game. You win some, you lose some. Just enjoy the fact its frigid and snowing.

Christina Georgina Rossetti's "In the Bleak Midwinter" opens: ...frosty wind made moan, earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow... Today presents a scene that could have been taken right from that poem. An icy wind frequently gusting past 40 mph hurls the powder of last night's light snowfall all about. Occasional gusts propel the snow into dense clouds. Periodically, flurries fall from a slate gray sky that dims a feeble sun. The thermometer quietly slips ever lower through the teens. Overall, today has exceptional wintry appeal. Even as the New York City area is not experiencing the near blizzard conditions that have gripped New England's Cape Ann, the day is one that can be savored by all who cherish the winter, its cold, and its snow. To those who embrace winter and everything it has to offer, there is nothing "bleak" about winter. Finally, the dreadful dearth of such days in recent years makes today feel even more special.

My daughter is in Bristol. She says a few inches so far and still snowing.

Eating up all the frozen slop the Euro AI keeps serving every 6 hours

GFS has 2 snow events

The difference is likely because I measured earlier after a good fluff band had rolled through

sarcasm sure...but with Spring 3 weeks away, true, it won't.

Yea we need the lead wave to be near enough to generate sufficient confluence to force our potential storm underneath us and keep our airmass intact. With a big -PNA we’re relying on the Atlantic side.

If the EURO AI ends up being even close to correct, it truly is the new King. Think we discussed this before, but it never had last year's February failure. Let's see what its EPS says shortly.

The storm comes at a time when a -PNA is developing and a west coast trough is digging. That naturally pumps the heights to rise in the east. I think a cutter is a big risk here. On the flip side, if that energy in the southwest never ejects, then this would become sheared out and so far south out of our area. Such is the problems of the 2020s, (aside from a few exceptions in 2021, 2022, and 2026). I'd expect either a cutter, or a sheared out mess to our south

Late month

About 3 inches in scituate. Just went out and shoveled. Beautiful flakes 1.5"+ per hour. Deep winter out there. Enjoy everyone.

3" so far. As the bands come thru it really pounds.

This is true however winds are still forecast to gust to 45mph overnight Currently i have a lull would estimate I have 15mph winds gusting to 30

Already over 7

Locked in

my poor ladies haven't come out of the coop since I fed em this morning, they want no part of this wind and cold

While we're only getting heavier stuff in waves as they come through, when those bands do hit it is impressive as hell. Roads are a mess and accumulates quick.

Pounding aggies

We’ll see, honestly haven’t been paying too much attention. By Wed hopefully we’ll have a better idea. If we’re going to a -PNA we always risk overrunning setups and warming us up at our latitude too much. Maybe the -NAO can help redevelop the storm in time for us.

Absolutely nuking in South End

Nice, you should crack 6". 4.3" here, just catching the edge of it here. Pounds the lights up, back and forth

Large heavy cotton balls falling out of the sky here. Heaviest stuff so far!

@The 4 Seasons Still snowing lightly here but I’m gonna wrap it up with 6.5” in Dayville for this event. 36” for the season so far.
