So so close to this new band developing off shore. Doesn't look like it will clip Boston.. Bummer.

Unlike the park, they do measure and start over every 6 hours. Not only that, they report new snow every hour. It is very unlikely to exceed their totals using a different measuring protocol (non FAA), but that's just the way it is. I don't have a major issue with today. ISP had hours more accumulating snowfall than there was here despite being only 8 or 9 miles away as the crow flies. I am a wee bit envious of those who didn't spend a huge chunk of the storm in a subsidence hole, or whatever that was. On the other hand, we're still digging out and the xc skiing will be great.

My deck snow gauge is approaching 12". There's possibly some drifting near it, but I'm surprised we didn't get upgraded to a warning.

Rain gauge didn’t even have 3/4 of an inch in it, so we can talk about temps and ratios and stickage, if even if all those things were good, the moisture just wasn’t there. Basically half what the GFS advertised.

Turning is good if its not in full track mode. In full track mode you need to man handle it unless on even ground. Its a beast though, chewed through this in 1st gear except for the deeper drifts I had to feather it like you mentioned

This one not just went south, the snow portion really withered away. Model reliability is just not there right now.

Maybe there is big snowstorm voodoo magic from being a whiney masshole…

Still accumulating nicely here... ~0.5"/hr, it looks like. Total of ~20"

I'll be honest, I'm only judging based on whats close to the house. Sometimes that's denser because it melts a little from the heat leaking out and making it settle. I'm actually hopeful it's more powdery so I can try and cut through it with my very undersized snow thrower if I chop it down appropriately.

Radar is filling back up over RI/E MA with the approach of the deformation axis on the backside. Probably going to make a run at 40" in spots.

Reports of 33 in Dartmouth, and 31 inches in both Somerset and Berkeley. And it’s still coming down.

It’s a very standard way for us to score. Especially with marginal air masses. I’ve seen hella worse looks than this.

See now that's ridiculous. If there was 0.15 inches of precipitation since 1PM (according to their official obs), it should have translated into approx. 1.5". Same thing happened with the January storm.

ah, you got the track one, we decided to get the 28" "smart trac" drive, honestly I prefer my old ariens, 0 point turn, and 1st gear was slow... this one is more powerful but goes where it wants not where I want, and needs a gear between 0 and first, I have to feather the clutch to go slower, but it doesn't struggle that's what matters, it throws snow like 40', how's the turning on that one?

I’m ready to be hurt

Morris county comes out of NWS Mt. Holly office. Here is link: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/TextProduct?product=pnsphi

Very much enjoyed this storm! Final total here was 10.4", the low end of the forecast, but we made double digits for the first time in years here. Nice noreaster, reminded me of a couple of coastal storms from yesteryear, starting as rain and changing to snow as it got going. Lost power for 15 minutes last night, no biggie. Only downside is the wet snow at the beginning did a number on the bamboo, then it just kept piling on, as you can see in the pic. There is a tent under the bamboo, lol. But yeah, thoroughly enjoyed it! Gives this winter an A grade for me. Snow total so far is 34.5", above average for sure. The snow pile is content as well, lol.

The bitter cold that followed for a full month and the ice on top of the snow made it worse.

It's so weird. I'm on the other side of the bay from you and it's light powder. Vinny from Cranston has a similar observation. This is how people get in arguments years later about what the storm was like, lol.

I reported 10". I definitely didn't get a foot or more here. Sent from my SM-S721U using Tapatalk

You just have to ignore what others got east of you because getting a foot? that’s a respectable storm. Double digit storms have been few and far between past bunch of years.

It appears that NYC did not add any snow after 1 p.m. (to their report) ... total is still 19.7" in climate summary just issued. I suppose that could be adjusted later. LGA total is now 22.5 ISP total is now 29.1 JFK total is now 20.1 EWR total is now 25.1 ... not sure why today's total does not add up to earlier reports I saw ... will see what all these say at end of day in CF6 documents ...

2.9” was what ended up calling the snow total here, about 1.3” from approx midnight to 8am Sunday morning and then another 1.6” from mid Sunday evening thru mid morning today. Some upslope stuff trying to set up so maybe can sneak a little bit more. This brings my season total to a fairly meh 28.7”, generally on par with the last 4 winters if winter ended today. Plenty of time obviously but it’s starting to get late. Clipper tomorrow night will likely favor NW PA, Laurels and perhaps down I-80 over to the Poconos. Track of the low staying in the lakes doesn’t bode well for much making it into the Sus Valley (downsloping). Then we’ll see what we have to work with for Thursday’s wave. Today’s suite has GFS/Euro ops skirting most precip south, Canadian half decent, and NAM/RRFS more mix/rain confining snows to northern PA. GFS/Euro ensembles look a little more amped on average vs their ops. I think most of us should see precip from this wave, my main concern is p-type issues.

Anybody have a total for West Hartford?

I have legit paid zero attention to this with work going on and the storm yesterday. This is a pretty good look with some decent cold in place and the usual mess of vorticity moving eastward. I might get pulled back in
