Should you ever need assistance with web-hosting costs, please let the forum here know. Myself and I'm sure many others would be happy to pitch in.

Oil will be $120 by Friday.  Winning. 
Looks like we will cool to BN for a bit before real spring takes over. 

Oil will be $120 by midnight tonight! 

3k NAM pumping up from ~1in. to 3in. in Boston.

Hrrr is close to unmitigated violence at BOS

ho-hum 6-8"

For Boston...

• 00z 12k NAM coming in with 6-8"
• 00z 3k NAM says, what snow?
• 00z HRRR says 4-6"
• 18z GFS says 4-6" 
• 18z EURO says 4-6"

00z HRRR says Boston sees moderate snow accumulations...not buying that at the moment.

Severe gradient just to the south, little to nothing down at the Braintree split.

I was gonna say this is a perfect example of confirmation bias..having a strong opinion and theory beforehand and then looking for data to confirm your beliefs. At the very least its heavily biased and a flawed approach given the time that elapsed

Tracking weather (either as a profession or hobby) is likely one of the most prone industries to confirmation bias. We all fall to it to some degree, especially with the number of models and frequency.

Want the big one? Hug the models that show the big one and rationalize why THAT is right over others.

Going to miss the big one and can't imagine not being in the Jack? Find ways to delegitimize others who have had a once in a generation experience.  

Confirmation bias is undefeated.

That map isn’t quite final. Still has BOS at 16.9

 any idea if they'll actually get around to updating this map? So many of the reports represented are mid-day Monday obs (for example Westwood and Dover, MA observations). Seems like they never actually received / incorporated EOD totals Monday night for a lot of spots.

Going with 21" 

forgotten yardstick in backyard was @ 30", but slightly slanted from the wind (lol). Also started at 7" from previous depth.

ESandwich Coop was 18", but my locale was in the death band eastern fringes more frequently. 8-10 miles to my west and north had close to 30". Forestdale reported over 20", to my SE.

Depth and drifts with this well exceed Jan 22. I feel confident in my estimate within 1 or 2"

Although a bit disappointed I missed out on the extra 9-10" by only a few miles, still a top 5'er personally

Agree with your assessment. Your measurement lines up with common sense.

You can tell vs. the January storm this year (that was just around a foot), that this was a different animal. You don't see front end loaders out for a 1 foot storm.

I question the ~14" report from Falmouth, especially with numerous +14" reports that came in yesterday afternoon mid-storm. 

Have been without power in Barnstable (Cape Cod) since 4AM yesterday. 

Cell service has been non-existent away from Route 28. Not being able to track radar yesterday was so frustrating.

21” here in Barnstable, but measuring in a blizzard is never easy.

Can’t wait to chow down on +50 pages of event observations tonight.

35”

Best I can do for you is 15.3” COCORAHS report from this morning for Taunton.

21” here in Centerville, Barnstable (pretty challenging to measure so +/- a few inches on either side). No power, no cell service since 5AM yesterday. Need to drive on Route 28 for cell service to improve. 

While we are on the topic, pet peeve is Broadcast stations using reports form 2PM yesterday for their snowfall graphics.

Looks like BOS down to HYA have already met blizzard criteria if airport readouts are any indication. 

Best way to monitor wind gusts across a handful of stations? The once an hour found on NWS just not cutting it! 

Boston looks like they may be having bad luck having their snow stolen in between bands...anyone in the city who can report back?

Plymouth, MA just has to be getting raked right now. 

Transformers starting to pop here in Barnstable...not good this early in the game.

Not sure where this data is coming from, but the 1AM NBM continues to say game on.

8PM (1z), not 1AM.

believe this has a collection of lagged ensembles, aka prior 18z runs that were juiced are likely still embedded within this output.

someone correct me if wrong.

It is starting to get really windy here probably gusting 40 now

Logan's been gusting +35mph since 9PM, along the coast imagine you'd see the same. 

2” @ 2AM here in Barnstable (Cape Cod)

I’m not sure we see anything over 16”-18” anywhere in New England.  
 

SE MA (Taunton down to Upper Cape) should push +18" without too much trouble, even with expected QPF being cut back.

Only comparing to 0z, upped the qpf a tad down this way 

Yup, shifted some of the heavier bands further inland towards the canal. Their loss is your gain. Otherwise QPF looks to be pretty darn close. 

no change on 12Z AI-EURO, maybe 5% less QPF out on western fringe. 

last 3 runs
