Sounds like it isn't going to be a destroyer like 2008. Resigning myself to it.

There is a difference between a forecast and hope. Some of us enjoy the fun stuff ( a big snowstorm predicted well in advance), but do not particularly want to endure weeks long power outages in winter (2008), watch our homes get blown away in a hurricane or tornado, or experience any other life threatening nightmare. COVID had been quite sufficient for me.

Either snow or rain please. Too old to lift 50 lb shovels full of sleet. Saw enough destruction in 1964, 2008 in New England.

Here's to 35F and rain in Worcester. I've been through 3 terrible ice storms. I'll take anything over it.

The Thought Police are watching. Ten years in a rehabilitation camp. Camp library has only one book: The Handmaids Tale. Might be best just to talk about the weather. LOL

Sleet for Worcester or ice? I'll take snow or plain rain over either, but sleet is better than tree shattering fzra.

23/25 light snow.

Great day. Great little storm for us here in Worcester. Added to the pack and more coming. I'll take a few 2-4 inch falls every few days to keep winter feeling like winter without knocking flat on our haunches with a series of monster storms. 2015 was fantastic in a lot of ways, but it was a nightmare trying to find places to put it all in an urban environment. I'll take this and below freezing temps. On the other hand, I'd be lying if I said a 36" monster wouldn't be exciting. Anyhow great day. Great storm. Great discussions. And I didn't have to regret cancelling after all.

About 6 here on Green Hill....maybe a tad more. Just end of storm light stuff now. Looks far more impressive on what we already had on the ground. Very little melting here over the past two weeks. Mostly settling, but since the pack is pretty dense, it's not too noticeable.

6"+ here. On top of the 12-15" left over from the last two storms, it looks nice. 27/26. light to moderate snow now here. Looks like the end of it is on us now. Any amounts for those who were under that band? Gotta be more than twice what we got here. Glad for them. Happy for us. A nice white layer must practically cover New England from top to bottom.

Glad to hear you are finally getting your snowstorm James. Looks like a lot of us in SNE are happy. Always glad when the Cape snow lovers get in on the game.

Some pictures from about 30 mins ago here. Snow seems to be getting heavier now. Birds have been crowding the feeder off and on all day. The local hawks are grounded.

Are you still up on Winter Hill? Not more than a couple of miles as the crow flies from me.

26/24. Eyeballing a couple of inches. Nice steady moderate snowfall. Nothing too crazy here but low visibility. Figuring small flake size and fog explain accumulation. Nice refresher.

26/22. Snow, visibility about a quarter mile. Flakes are tiny. Less than an inch new. Snow started just before 11 here.

27/12 here with moderate snow. Looks like cancelling was the right thing to do regardless of amounts. Wouldn't want people out on the roads an hour from now.

Its the people who miss out on something important to them that matters, not the damn snow. Emotionally, I could care less about the forecast fail or the amount of snow on the ground. Its fun when it works out and just fine when it doesn't. But like elections, forecasts have consequences. Not blaming anyone (God, mets, luck, whatever). BTW, drive on up and take a ride around beautiful Worcester County next week. We should still have plenty left on the ground if you don't.

And it looks like we cancelled for vapors. Snow after noon 1-3 inches. Figures. Time to retire.

When does BOX update their snowfall maps?

Not snowing here either.

Hate these cancel/no cancel storms on a Sunday. I cancelled for tomorrow. Let's hope I'm not regretting it when less than an inch falls before 2 PM.

All of the above--as long as the storm is close enough.

I'm going to hazard an overproducer vs. under here in Worcester. Just a feeling that slightly better QPF and 15:1 ratios will help us. Maybe a bit like the proverbial Dec 29, 2012 event.

2013 storm brought .57 water equivalent and 9.3 inches of snow here in Worcester. Looks like a lot less QPF for here this time.

any Met maps?
