Trying to get one last boost on the echoes. Snowing pretty hard.

How much OTG there?

Between 3-4"....but areas near me 200 feet lower might have half that im guessing.

I'm also wondering if up by here we were fighting just a little bit of dry air aloft....we had some really good echoes over us for a time, but we never approached the rates that were occurring in CT. Maybe maxed out around an 1 inch per hour and it didn't last long. Deep moisture/saturation versus some very marginal dry air trying to nose its way into the bands can make a huge difference....particularly when you're trying to shoot for 2"/hr or higher.

Snowing pretty good right now. Maybe 3.5-4”

Rural CT only snowstorms are the worst. All the villageidiots posting snow pics like their backyard is happening everywhere.

 

Pretty sure there's a local brainworm problem in "drive thru" country of New England. 

Last warning on your ad hominem bullshit before just suspending you. I told you before we are a pretty tolerant bunch but you have crossed the line again.

There is definitely some residual warmth in eastern areas that further SW in CT was able to overcome....even here near 495 with some elevation, we're pretty wet with the snow and it's not accumulating like you would normally expect with these echoes.

32/31, S .. Lets see if we can rip some 1"/hr + rates next hour or two 

I think it's now or never for your area over to the 495 belt E of you near me. Really picking up here again now and you can see all the echoes darkening....this is prob the final push of fronto....hopefully we can get a good 2-3 hours but we're trying to hold off that northwest edge trying to sick SE.

Friend in Millis just sent photo of barely dusting due to putrid temps /lack of rates i assume 

That's crazy they have less than inch. Millis is pretty low though...most of the town is like 100 feet ASL. My extra 250-300 feet is def helping some.

We were in a little mini-sucker hole you can see on the loop but it has filled in and we're picking up now

Looks like about 3" of mashed potatoes....we haven't had the rates that CT has had though, so it is going to need to pick up if we're gonna salvage warning criteria.

Cape might get crushed later this afternoon. The meat of that CCB gets them and they could see over an inch of QPF easily from here on out.

Ripping now. 32F and maybe just shy of 2" down. Should be able to stack pretty efficiently now if these rates and growth keep up.

The HREF actually may have been the best. Look at its 00z output 

No it had like 15”+ up by Ray for a couple runs prior lol

Flakes trying to mix in, but still 37.2*

Looks like there is a mini-CF along 128. Lots of 36s and 37s just east and 32s/33s west.

Really lightened up.  Hopefully it reinvigorateslest I fall short of the lie-end 3 in my p/c

I think you’re gonna beat 3”…I’m starting to get into heavy snow now with that band just about here and the stuff to the west looks pretty healthy  it’s going to collapses ESE at some point but that shouldn’t happen until closer to midday

If you had to pick a “winner”, the RGEM is a good candidate. In an absolute sense it still struggled but it had the smallest swings compared to other models and I don’t think it showed a whiff inside of 48 hours like the Ukie did multiple times.

It looks like it might be coming together for a lot of E MA peeps. It'll be very close. 

Interior SE MA for sure will clean up…it’s gonna be close where I am right on the pike (technically a few miles south)…radar def looking better with each passing frame. If I crack 6” I can’t be too disappointed after yesterday, but I won’t lie that it will be a little annoying if I get like 7” and someone not too far SE gets over a foot.

It’s raining in Nantucket, the snow capital of New England 

What an eye-gouge 

Def started off mild here in the 34-35F range at the onset but temp has finally dipped to 32 on the nose. 

Bands picking up strength along the pike S of ORH and back to CEF area…let’s keep that cranking for the next few hours

Gfs was the first model to show this system really flat but then came north and then went back south . It did a good job.

There isn’t a single model that did a good job in this system. 

About an inch down so far. Good snow growth and picking up a bit now. 

Gonna be close here whether we get big rates or not. 
 

Ita snowing good right now but would like to see another nudge north on the echoes…they are trying
