    Today's 3:33 AM Winter Storm Watch text now has an 8-15" storm total for the region. That's a lot of bumping down totals in a pretty short time frame, compared to that first snowfall map that came out at 1am that showed a bunch of the south shore at 18-24".

    They could at least pick a color somewhat different from the ocean. Or adjust the breakpoints seeing as there is no need for half of them. Just about anything other than what they did, really.

    We have close to 4" of new snow here from last night. Wasn't expecting quite that much.

    Not too often that you see San Antonio and Presque Isle have extreme cold watches at the same time...with a nearly solid wall of winter weather alerts in between.

    Skies should be clear enough tonight to see the aurora if it makes it far enough south:

    Snow is really holding on out there. It looks like about 5-6 inches total for the weekend in Central MA.

    Snow Squall Warning until 8:30 AM. Don't see those too often! Looks pretty intense just south of Grafton, heading towards Milford right now.

    Yep. 9 F here with -4 wind chill in Central MA. This is the kind of cold we normally see in the coldest week of January, not early Dec. Lots of water main breaks in my area in the past few days...gotta wonder if it's related.

    So far, no flip back to snow here. But we have way more ice than I expected from this one. Not sure how much because it's dark. But there's at least enough to have visible icicles on the power lines, and enough to flatten a mature 8' steeds holly to about half its normal height. You can hear the ice on the tree limbs when the wind blows. North facing surfaces seem to be hit the worst.

    29 F and a mix of freezing rain and sleet here. Got about 2.5-3 inches on the ground before the switch. Roads look really messy.
  11. wx_observer
    Looks like we've switched to straight freezing rain here. Seems to have switched over as soon as that heavier band of precip over central MA moved in.

    Hearing some pinging out there now at the border of Southern and Northern Worc County.

    About an inch on the ground with moderate snow right now at the Worcester / WB line. Major roads right off the highway are snow covered. It's the perfect snowfall for a nice cup of tea and staying off the roads. First storms without any existing salt or sand on the road are pretty messy, even with just a few inches of snow.

    Light snow, and sticking to the roads pretty quickly here at the Holden / WB / Worcester line. Warm pavement? Not here. Warm grass, maybe.

    I'm probably a couple miles north of you, and have a little over 6" here too. It's beautiful--just didn't expect to get my biggest snowfall of the season mid-April.

    Guess this is what we should expect now that they have cut all that funding and staff at NWS? Most recent snow map on the website is from 7:30 pm last night. I'm in the 2-3" range on this map and I'm technically not even in the WWA zone. I'm at 650 elevation and have at least 6" on the ground...and it's still snowing. The 3:30 am update follows suit:
  17. wx_observer
    At the border of Northern and Southern Worcester County. About 650 elevation.
  18. wx_observer
    Looks like 6" on the nose here:
  19. wx_observer
    Nope. But I didn't hear any thunderclaps after that first one.
  20. wx_observer
    This is on a double-line main road. I'd say we're around 4" here, at least that much on grassy surfaces.
  21. wx_observer
    Beefy band in Central MA--still snow, at least where I am.
  22. wx_observer
    Thundersnow in Central MA!!!
  23. wx_observer
    I can't remember the last time I heard wind howl like this. We have to be gusting over 60 here.
  24. wx_observer
    24F and pouring freezing rain here now. A few pellets mixed in.
  25. wx_observer
    Heavy sleet right now in Central MA at the NWC/SWC border. Actually...it sounds like it might have switched over to more freezing rain as I'm typing this.
