Lurking here, but according to NWS Boston, it sounds like Providence has bested the Blizzard of ‘78 with 32.8”! 16.5” coming in the last 6 hours!

It does look like we'll get back to a stormier period once we get past the 10th of the month. Still TBD on the degree of cold air, but the Euro has been driving the bus on the potential for a stratospheric warming event mid-month. Been following Brian Bledsoe, who is a retired chief met from a TV station in Colorado Springs, and he has a podcast that discusses the upcoming pattern and the change to El Niňo. It's a very interesting watch/listen:

We finished with 7" officially at Eisenhower National Airport (ICT). I measured 7.5" outside of my house. Not the 12-20" that were progged Thursday night, but still a solid storm system with about 1/2 inch (liquid equivalent) of much needed moisture.

I will say, the HRRR has been absolute trash this whole time.

Farther west in SC KS, the snow has persisted most of the day, when models had shown a period of dryness. Call me crazy, but I think that bodes well for us when the main energy emerges later this evening and into Sunday morning.

Feels like Lucy pulled the football back on us in S KS overnight. We went from sharing in the big totals with you guys to the southeast, to having 6-8 inches. Hoping for a slight northward trend, but I think the models finally have a good grasp on the Arctic air and track of the second wave, so it probably won't happen. Bummer.

That's the million dollar question. I wonder if @andyhbor @JoMowould be able to shed some light on this?

This is the 01z 72-hour 50th percentile snowfall off the National Blend of Models. This is a significant bump up from the 19z run. The red area is 24-30 inches NW of OKC, the reddish orange area is snow totals of 18-24 inches, orange is 12-18. Goodness.

The huge upshot to all this is that there will be some significant drought relief.

This is the 19z 72-hour mean snowfall off the National Blend of Models. There has been a bump up of this as we've gone through the day. The red area is snow totals of 18-22 inches, orange is 12-18.

That's fair. Forgive me, but I haven't been looking up there. I've been too busy rooting for the NAM. Haha

Here is the Wichita NWS office's forecast:

There was? The 18z still pumped out close to one foot here in Kansas:

That's a CYA forecast if I've ever seen one....
