Yeah at least everywhere had some success this weekend out of all the waves. CT and C/W MA really cashed in yesterday and today the eastern folks are overperforming relative to expectations 12 hours ago. -

There’s more back building over the interior now…it won’t be as intense as the stuff in the last 2 hours, but it’s that high ratio fluff that can add a sneaky inch or two -

Some of those soundings showing awesome growth at times late this evening seemed to be correct. Definitely getting really efficient stacking for a while now. Snow is slowly getting drier too so that helps. Just creeped below 30F. -

Go wake your dad up and tell him he’s missing the best band of the winter, lol Pretty solid here so far. Passed 4” -

Yeah Cape getting slugged with a good paste storm will lock in a pack even down there. -

Wow just did a check and we’re almost 4” now. Really stacked up good in the last hour. Growth is excellent right now in this band. Temp down to 30F -

Still some bands back building around ORH. But it prob starts to weaken by midnight. There could be some higher ratio fluff in the IVT hangback stuff later tonight. -

It’s gotten very good in these bands to your west. Stacking quick. -

Growth has increased remarkably over the last 30 min. -

Sneaky decent winter so far on the Cape. -

Snow growth is still pretty crappy here but it’s like that 1/2 mile fog stuff. It’s dense but piling up. Some darker bands trying to get going…when we’ve occasionally had a little pulse of those, we’ve gotten better growth -

Snow growth def isn’t that good yet. It’s snowing easily moderate and sticking but it’s more like something slightly better than baking powder. But the best progs on soundings were more like 8pm through midnight or so over eastern areas. That’s when the lift got deeper into DGZ, so hopefully we start seeing that. -

Between now and about 1am is poundtown for eastern areas. Might get some good high ratio fluff after that but the real meat is the next 6-7 hours. -

WCB stuff currently south of LI was never gonna hit us anyway with any real force unless maybe clipping the cape. It’s all about the stuff to the west of that blossoming. -

That’s good stuff too. Not super heavy but prob a much colder BL near the coast by that point with steep lapse rates and decent snow growth with lots of salt nuclei on those IVT lower level lift setups. Kind of thing where you can weasel another 1-2” out of 0.07 QPF or something. -

You’ll need ratios to get that much.
