My 2" of crust will be gone...but there areas north of the  pike that did did not get porked and got several inches last weekend likely keep it.

We had about an inch from that here and It’s still half-intact in shaded areas!! Cuz it was so dense

It's real and it's spectacular.

“Integrity? ... NO, IntegrA”. 
 

Looking like a slightly wintery pattern in these parts... seemingly appropriate for a neutral to slightly negative NAO 

Wound down to the light and showery flakes at this point. We were really getting uncle vinced for a good while but it just wasn’t cold enough for stacking up. Instead we just ended up with a couple inches of goo and it’s gonna get real icy overnight 

Still ripping good here. Got about 2 inches of slop. Still a fascinating storm but I feel like we will total out at about 3-4 inches max... which is enough considering the 3 power flickers we’ve had 

Power just flickered here

!!

better keep my phone plugged In

Is that near the Frog Bridge? I lived on Jackson St. several months ago. 

Meanwhile, I'm in West Boylston, MA for this event. I'll be moving to NC soon so I wanted to savor this [possibly] final snow event before I leave New England.

~3/4 inches of snow on the ground w/medium sized flakes. It has been snowing since roughly 10(ish)AM.

It’s a little ways down from there but not too far! 
 

We also have about 3/4 inch now it’s more than this photo cuz that was ten minutes ago. It’s very pasty and branches are crashing. Heavy snowfall rates, and it didn’t change over her until 12:10pm

Are you serious or trolling becauseeeeeee... 

Ya. Let’s all go to Denny’s! Everybody likes a Denny’s!

A few inches is a good bet, lesser chances of being surprised.

just heard the first crash of a tree and we only have 1/2 inch!

Are you on Uconn campus? You’ve got good elevation there. You’re good for at least 6”

No, actually I’m in Willimantic. But it’s ripping here. I’m at 230’ elev.

Metrowest is looking really good for this afternoon/evening and into SE NH/S ME 

 

Not bad here I’m guessing at least 2 inches before it pulls out. Kind of hard to tell how long it will hang around eastern ct 

Fully snow here. Starting to stick on usual things that stick first 

Is that a dry slot down there?

Almost all the way changed over right now under LIGHT band.... and this is targeting us 

Finally... real flakes mixing in tho we are in that heavy band rn 

Mixing starting to take place here. Have to see it on the windshield

Completely legal.

Theoretically it can be dangerous but I would thing you’d need to go higher than 400 feet up like you did, unless you’re right next to an airport?

Have to remind myself it wasn't supposed to switch over until noonish

This is Coventry CT right now. Hang tight 

Still rain but a sharp 4-5 degree drop from 43 to 38 has taken place in willi in just the last 90 minutes

Back to rain now 

Say it isn’t so. You’re one of my beacons of hope up the road. But it could be because a heavier band is passing and it’s turned lighter precip for now 

My sister reports “Chunky Rain” at 600 ft in Coventry CT

Willimantic at 230’ is solid rain still.

If i only see 2" on that SV map i'll eat my laptop.

You shan’t.

laptops possess carcinogenic materials according to the state of California.

Willimantic 

230’

pure rain still. No crystals mixing in on windshield yet.

Both were very nice events down here too. Dec 2003 ended up well over a foot for much of Long Island (about 12” NYC iirc), and Nemo was up to 30” in the death band that came down from CT (also about 12” in NYC). We would be absolutely wrecked down here from this storm with a 5-8 degree cooler airmass, perfect track and we should get enhanced precip but unfortunately cold rain. 

I was living in Ledyard ct for that 2003 storm. We kinda got dry slotted, ended up with 8 inches. Not exactly a screw zone but I digress as it seemed like everyone else in every direction got more. I was 19 years old.
