Clown map clearly about 25 miles too far east

Hello GFS, you have my attention

From the cleanup:

I guess my 24.5" report wasn't map worthy.

Labs keep on losing their tennis balls by  letting go of them into the snow (which has no weight to it)

8pm measurement 6.8 inches, total 23.2"   

Unsure how this got double posted.

Ended up with 24.5 after another 1.3 fell after 8 pm. 

Pretty sure this is my lifetime highest storm.-  only 1996 may have match but my memory is getting 22 or 23 from that.

Got me over 100" on the year as well

Should be about to wind down but another inch in past hour has me at 24.2"

Either install or close the window, make up your mind.

I also did first round for clearing the drive.  Snowblower ate it up very  well.  Only lost one shear pin.

2.5 in past 2.5 hours.  18.9" total.  It will likely be my biggest storm at this house and perhaps ever.

BTV

NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 947 AM EDT Saturday...Based on current stronger fgen band
of heavy snow across south central VT and latest reports,
boosted overall snow totals down in Rutland/Windsor/Orange
Counties up a bit. Also tightened the snowfall gradient in our
far northern counties to show slightly less snowfall due to
somewhat drier air in lower levels and a fairly narrow dendritic
snow growth zone of only a few thousand feet way up around 600
mb. This is why flakes have been on the finer/smaller side in
these areas. Have a great day!

4.5 inches new since I cleared at 8am.  11.8 total

Feels like BTV was a bit too aggressive with those >15” totals yesterday. I think you’re going to be closer with your 8”-14” call. Of course @klwis piling it up already so maybe the bigger totals are just a bit SE of me. 

From the BTV 8 am update

As of 758 AM EDT Saturday...No significant changes made with
the morning update. Barring some unexpected developments, the
snowstorm should be getting more interesting for a larger
portion of the region after heavier snow overnight tended to
stay parked over southern Windsor and Rutland counties where 6
to 8 inches of moderately wet new snow was observed. The
character of the snow has been rather dry farther north so far,
but should trend wetter areawide as previously anticipated.

7.3 inches as of 8am

Dews here are right at 0°F today.

Have you installed?

I was happy to see this in BTV's more recent discussion:

The one change to the forecast is the expected ptype
across Rutland/Windsor counties where guidance has trended colder in
regard to a warm nose moving in aloft, with now only a small section
of southeast Windsor county forecast to see a changeover to a wintry
mix of snow, sleet, and rain from about noon through 6PM before
going back to all snow. This led to slightly higher snowfall
amounts, and less ice accretion as the probability for freezing rain
is much lower now.

Models including euro went south a bit. Looks like a huge mess central NH. Jack maybe between Stowe and Gene? Gfs is very icy for dendrite.

I just looked at a bunch of the models.  I better go make  sure I have extra gas for the snow blower.

BTV has upped totals again, I am a bit too close to the mix line for comfort

Warnings here now and BTV upped their map:
