were the cape power losses more a result of snow, or wind? I saw that Nantucket officially gusted to 70.  I'm always skeptical of those ham radio wind gusts.

Meanwhile Cape got fooked up again. Most of the Cape no power with entire towns out. Extends up to S shore too. The amount of tree damage that area has had since Feb 2013 is unreal.

just like the Connecticut shoreline with Irene and sandy.

Isoplethed this as best we could. 

Nice map.  Easier to follow than what box puts out.  Just revise the south coast of RI, 6-12 instead of 12-20.  And 6-12 for all of Newport county.

Cory missed a 20 spot in Cumberland

he was freakin here earlier and I don't blame him.

All my measurements averaged out to an even 20", and I came in to look at the NWS snow totals page. 20" for Woonsocket.

So 20" it is. Still snowing somewhat, but bfd. I can't remember ever getting 20" in such a short duration. The bulk of it came between sunup and sundown. 

put some in the freezer for cory

Got the nice big fat flakes, but the classic intensity is lacking...still, I was stuck with baking powder sand all day so it's nice to see these beautiful flakes

Diane, you said your porch had 2 inches. Is that your total?

Still coming down nicely and should much of the night . 9.8 so far 

maybe an additional quarter inch for you, half inch for jimmy, and 2 inches for downtown boston.

Call me a weenie, if you want but I think BOS will tack on close to a foot from that band. It’s tightening up and will have some epic rates associated with it... perfect timing too in terms of limiting ISR and BL impacts...

weenie so big not even stormy daniels could take it.

MEMA is advising everyone who lost power to seek a shelter in case you have no available heat sources, they say we could
Be without power for days as my whole town and Chatham are 100% out of power, 530pm observations, temp is 31F, north winds gusting to 40mph blizzard conditions continue, another 6-12" possible for the Cape and Islands as the death bands edge slowly eastward and are fortified by the easterly inflow. I have measured now 7" of snow from this storm and could see a total of around 13-19" of snow. Crazy storm

Thanks for the ob report on your power loss and snow total.  I don't see Harwich getting any more than an additional inch.  The southern end of the death band has been rapidly drying up.

if you live a mile or less from the ocean in extreme SE CT, along the south coast of RI and MA please report your totals. I'm pretty surprised to hear about totals in south Dartmouth and new Bedford of 10-13 inches and I'm wondering if these totals are actually a couple miles inland with lesser totals along south facing beaches. For example westerly extends several miles inland and I'm wondering what the totals are a mile from the ocean.

If it's any consolation Cory the heaviest of that death band has been about ten miles to your west, and when the meat of it reaches your hill it won't be as intense.  But nevertheless you certainly missed a biggie.

Sorry for stealing people's snow, but I have had mine stolen oh so many times.

Average measurement just now was 16.5, and it is just dumping snow imby.

Winds picking up again, vis: endzone to the 50 yard line.

Genuinely sorry for the snow theft victims.

Next time you need to find a way to get Cory home.  He's flown home in the past for some duds and paid a lot of money to do so.  But he let this one get away.

Because they have 5-6”, and I have 9”. Probably wasn’t in the good band this morning as long. I was already at 5-6” by 10 AM.

I'm questioning the validity of the report from TJ delsanto from east providence.  I suspect they have more.  I'm not sure if he personally measured outside the tv station or if a flunkie did in their weather yard.  They're located in an industrial park on the Seekonk line and that area appeared to be close to that heavy band this morning that was hammering Dighton.

I’m at 9” in Bristol. Unusually, we were in a good band for a while. Picking up again too. Confident we can get close to a foot here.

I can't figure out why wpri 12-15 miles to your north on the Seekonk/east pvd state line is only reporting 5-6.

Got the suck-model, come-on blues. NAM, HRR, all the rest, dressed up like tarts in Canal Street display windows-- all for 2 inches of cheap thrills....

Suckered. Never again...

I''ll buy an iPhone for 50 bucks on canal street thinking its gonna work before I'll believe those vendor maps again.

Cory, I wish you had flown home for this.  15 inches of man snow in your back yard is a lot more impressive than a 20 inch January fluff job.

this has me at  4-6" . I have 15" right now

did you email your total to wpri channel 12 providence? They were complaining that a snarky weather watcher from west Greenwich emailed them with a snow report.

The storm is behaving well as far as rhode island is concerned. I wouldn't call 6 inches in newport a bust- 2-3 more inches and they are in the forecasted range. 

Disagree.  Lots of models had all of eastern rhode island getting hammered.  East PVD at the top of the bay only has 5-6 inches and Narragansett 10 miles to your south really got porked.

Just slant sticked my way to 2.5 inches of cake batter in the front yard in Narragansett. Long way to go to reel in the 10-18 forecasted.

epic screw zone for you and the southern half of Newport.  Block island is reporting 7.5 inches and telephone poles down.

Steady light snow . It is what it is. I expected 12-16”. Probably won’t get there . Oh well

opening day is in a few weeks, only on YES.

Looked like james was close to changing to rain earlier per his photos

He will be lucky to see 15-18"

Jimmy may get a few inches on the back side of his fanny but I don't think he's gonna crack double digits.

Almost 13” in East Lyme, big heavy flakes for hours now.

wow.  east lyme is a notorious screw zone.

Also, I'm a mile north of there, which sometimes matters with this island.

Jay Leno's new pad probably has half of what you have 2 miles away.

Parked between two bands. I might as well mow the grass. 

How much do you have? I was getting hammered and LOLed for declaring this a bust this am in southern coastal areas.

2 minutes ago, NeonPeon said:

I did but in two measurements, and the second was very, very drifty so had to just average around the yard. It's somewhere between 4 and 5. 

Well thanks, but i take no pleasure in being right, and even my barely informed pessimism will be way high.

ryan hanrahan forecast 6-9 for the south coast of rhode island. He absolutely smoked the Nws.  They were forecasting 16 for you.
