It was incredible. I spent almost the whole hour outside and it was worth every second.

I love those yellow returns popping up in northeast RI.

Getting heavier. 2.25”

1” now, just before the band arrives.

25/24, -SN, 0.9” The calm before the death band.

A solid coating now, and the snow is steadily picking up as that death band approaches.

As of 845 PM Wednesday...a band of moderate to heavy snow with visibilities as low as one-quarter mile extended across southern Connecticut into southern coastal Rhode Island. Expect this band of heavy snow to advance northward across northern Connecticut and Rhode Island through midnight, with roads quickly becoming snow covered. Snow may accumulate at a rate of 1 to 2 inches per hour in this snowband. Travel will become increasingly more difficult as this heavy snowband advances northward. If you must travel, do so with extreme caution and be prepared to encounter increasingly snow-covered roads and low visibility as snow increases in intensity. $$ Loconto

It has finally commenced. 26 with very light flurries.

That’s a very solid total for the first round. Hopefully 8” will be within reach if the backside delivers.

How much snow did you get before the changeover?

Already?? That’s incredible.

My sister is reporting huge flakes in Baltimore near the harbor.

Maybe a lot of people moved from further south.

Enjoy this everyone, looking forward to the pics and other reports!

What an absolutely incredible contrast in Baltimore county, assuming that the snow map only counts actual snow as snow. It has my old home literally right on the edge of the good stuff, with a rapid drop just miles away. Makes for an incredibly tough forecast.

Based on that panel, the two warmest places in the lower 48 will be far southern FL and New England.

Really glad to hear, and I hope all you westerners and northerners end up with double digit totals.

You’d fit in well with the New England forum if you ever moved north. A lot of the guys love dirty jokes.

Where did you move?

I'm looking for reasons why this might fail IMBY but can't seem to find any. Perhaps a dry slot or coastal front from hell would screw things up, but I don't see that reducing my total to less than maybe 8".

Sorry to hear about the dog

That's exactly what I did last year when I returned from Thanksgiving just in time for the early December storm. Rescheduled for an earlier flight, and arrived just as the storm was getting good.

Yeah it seems like our heaviest rates will be pretty late at night. Midnight to 3am.

Another improvement is that I don't see much of a coastal front compared to previous runs. Just a stone cold shellacking.

Absolutely incredible NAM.
