That's twice my mighty haul so far.

i just moved a block from the ocean....i'm not sure if it's a flood prone area but think i'm going to find out

You moved to a place and don't know whether it's flood prone? Perhaps  whateverhappenshappens would be more apposite.

yeah, very concerning

If anyone in the bay doesn't know by now, inches of snow is the least of their problem. Basic pattern recognition is a life skill.

I would dance a jig for any major snowfall. Haven't seen one in a couple years. 

Which is why I'm looking forward to this trending west, then being assured that I'll still get significant snow after we flip back from rain, then watching a band to our west while sucking subsidence, then just as that band should move overhead it disintegrates and forms east of me. Lastly to come on here and listen to people bitching about getting only 10 inches instead of 18 while I look at 4 inches of paste. Something like that, don't want to get too specific at this stage.

Anything is better than cold and dry.

Rain is worse than cold and dry.

You cant go outside and it's ugly.

Isn't sticking here. Not even really a dusting. Still, nice vibes on the cliff walk.

 Who got the 5-6" stripe everyone was touting yesterday?

Significant accumulation of strawman here.

Just flipped here. Kid is home and quarantining. I'll take some ornamental snow.

Most of the wind down here is just nice and steady 20-30 mph stuff. Nothing crazy.

Good luck to those in the blue.

I'd be hard pressed to find many winters that don't include at least one cutter in January

A whiffer into a rainer sounds like an average January to me!

2015 was a super anomaly. very silly to make that the benchmark for anything

If you want to be perpetually disappointed it's a good starting point.

Isn't the GFS rain verbatim for Friday?

Rain into snow as it spins up.

I'll take a 958 mb bomb somewhere in the general hemisphere as something to watch. My winter spirit has been awakened, and it must do something before it goes to bed disappointed in a couple months.

Yeah I know a meteorologist there. I think he had about 6” where he lives. Cool town though.

On your average snowfall, you can add an inch for every town further away from the ocean.

If Newport gets 3, Middletown gets 4, Portsmouth gets 5, bristol gets 6, Warren gets 7. The snowstorms that don't obey this rule are my favorite. There has been one of significance in the last decade here. We got 13, Barrington got like 3 inches. Those were the day. 

Sometimes I've seen triple the snow just from the south end of Newport to the north.

Anyhow, two days of sledding, we made it count, bare grass incoming tomorrow.

KBOS final 11.7" per NWS twitter

Great storm to placate a lot of early seasonal frustrations.

As always, a great place to learn from the mets here. The map below I think predominantly reflects (1) 700mb frontogenic band in response to vigorous shortwave and great SLRs, overlayed in 2nd half with (2) deepening of the farther-east-than-could've-been surface low with ensuing advection through 850-700 mb layer

Good lord that is typical.  I ended up with about 3.5 inches. Cement then a powder puff on top. Drive in any direction and the snow immediately gets deeper.

It was nice for a while, but it gets old after 3 months. And can probably do without drugs as a recovering alcoholic lol

What does Wilmington have?

Ok, well. I'm enjoying Dave Eggers "the every" for a nice dystopian laugh.

You're right, let me forget about how I got porked for snowfall, grab the kids, go sledding and watch its wonderful life...oh wait, they are in Africa for another month.

Wait, you are complaining that you are alone? I haven't been alone in years.

May I recommend...

Drugs?

Nice little rate at the end here. Enough to go sledding, it's all I wanted, heading out now and the kid is bouncing off the walls.

I went from radar watching and sulking to a four year old saying "daddy, daddy, the snowflakes are landing in my mouth."

Perspective, I guess?

So you got a decent snowfall but didn't jackpot. Look to your SE and weep for them.

ERINEB?  (Eastern Rhode Island Not East Bay)

Smack in center of RI on any map?

Band disintegrating a bit so that it's ready pass through Newport. Every storm is the same here.

Very scientific measurement of accumulation half an inch less than my snowman mug (roughly 5 to 6 inches). Just a gorgeous morning, and so thankful to have such close access to natural beauty! Enjoy, y'all.

You need cross country skis.

I’m eyeballing 4” haven’t found the yard stick yet to measure. It’s 29 degrees here no issues sticking to the ground.

Nice. It's picking up some here now.

Yes, it’s due to the East Bay/West Bay de-snowification zone.

What's your total so far? My snow is melting as fast as it accumulates at the moment. Still don't have an inch.

Honestly, I'm more angry with myself more than anything. A while back I started just looking at all the modeling, seeing what people on here thought, and then arriving at a very conservative number, the lowest of possible bounds. Then, I cut that number in half for Newport.

Every winter I have to relearn the lesson. 

Less than an inch so far. Hoping without expectation that I can get under something as the bands rotting to the west realign.
