18.5 in Billerica…. Not sure if I buy that.

Trust me it's true and I didn't record that.

It's deep here. Saw the PNS reports. East Billerica close to me had 18.5 at 5:12 PM. That's right next to me. I agree with that observation. I haven't gone out since then to get an average butt it has been snowing light but persistently since then. Maybe squeezed about an inch or so since then. Who knows, way too drifty here.

I'm kind of shocked that everybody clears.

Not everybody.

Did places in N RI and SE MA legit get 4 feet in 1978 or is that just urban legend?

Most maps I see from that are around 3 feet or so in the jackpot zones.

38" was the official report just east of downtown Woonsocket "Eastern Woonsocket." Think of Diamond Hill at 633'. However, the true unofficial report of 40" may actually go to South Wrentham 40" with 44.0" on ground.

As of 530...15 inches in Methuen

Well over a foot here. Like I said to you earlier, get 3 more or so fluffy inches and there on out you'll have the lower end of the scale of the 18-24" and upper end of the 12-18". Ray should feel good about that.

Yeah I had 29" OTG in North Attleboro, there was more in Taunton.  I measured and shoveled.  They had like 35" OTG

Not based off the COOP. 17" from the storm. 27.0" On ground.

Tauntons all-time biggest?  There was around 28" in 1996 and 30-35" in 1978 on the NW side of the city.

January 7-8 17" Snowfall 27" On Ground.

About 12” here really hard to be accurate. Still coming down pretty good.

I'd say by now we're over a foot but with this drifting it is ridiculous. As you stated and me earlier, just terrible to measure. If I showed a picture on here of my property/ back + Front, yard, Porch, many comments here would say that it looks definitely over a foot.

It is really going to have to snow hard for several hours to make a run. 

Like I said, we'll see but this will keep going until maybe 6-7P tonight. So, if the math is correct, He has a small shot. Snow probably won't be finish till 10PM tonight or so.

most forecasts for this area were 18-24..

He might make a run at 18 but might fall short like 16-17.5. We'll See.

Up to 9 inches in Methuen as of 215

Ray will get into the double digits for sure. I had 9.0" about a over a couple of hours ago.

The jackpot should be between Weymouth and Taunton in the end.

Wouldn't be surprised either to see an immediate Northshore or Cape Ann Jockpot either. That band has been getting them for several hours now.

Usually need to look at 2-day totals for Boston given how the measurements can occur across two days.

24.5” would be needed to get Boston into top 5 territory. 27.7” the all time record.

Not quite. 27.1 The 27.5" one was a farce.

Have about 9.0" Tough as hell to measure. Taken after several measurements.

19F

Good stuff here, not like Scott's getting, but good stuff. I'll measure in a couple of hours. Again, really tough to measure with this wind and really fluffy snow.

Good wind gust!

Come on band, just a little push to the west northwest.

Been sitting here under that northern band between 128 and 495 for about 30 minutes. Definitely better snow growth+ intensity. blows around a lot.

14F

Interesting here. When I get into the northern part of the band, the flake size mostly stays the same, but the intensity of course increases, and wind gust blows the snow all around.

At the buoy 54 miles SE of ACK, pressure in past hour has dropped 5 mb, low appears to be approaching it, pressure around 980 mbs, winds NE 45 G 55 knots (approx). At this rate historic blizzard James will track right across the Cape in about 4-5 hours. 

That rate of pressure fall as many will know is near the limit. 

Center should remain offshore. We'll see.

Glad to see you also at about 2" in Wilmington at 7:45AM this morning...very comforting

I saw what you did. Nice try. How are you measuring your snow in this?

Morning Everybody!  There was I thought about 2.0" by 7:30 AM this morning. As has been said over and over, "Can't Measure it!" Neither can I here. Just lots of blowing and drifting. Coming of the roof of the house and deck sometimes with the heavier wind gust. This will require multiple measurements today to get a feel what really on the ground. Enjoy the storm everybody! 

Snow

18F

Light snow started here at 11:15PM

29F

Highest tide will come in the morning.

Im not sure they were many accurate measurements in 78, it was too difficult with the crazy drfits.

My point exactly! That's what Harvey mentioned not too long ago with this potential storm.
