Actually, N RI was the area that had some 50"+ reports. Also, it was a very wet snow so drifting was minimal. I know, because we had to shovel it from the driveway without a snowblower. Luckily it was a small driveway.
I lived in Randolph at the time, moving to Westwood about 1 1/2 years after the blizzard. We had the Army clear close to 4 feet of snow from the street because no plows could handle it.
Just finished snowblowing. Didn't seem all that fluffy as I thought, but that's probably because I waited too long to clear the driveway, so the bottom layer was melting onto the pavement making for a not so clean pass in some areas.
Just measured for first time. 12". But there may have been some compaction since I made no interim measurements. Still very light snow but just about over.
Just looking at the latest radar loop of that offshore convection, along with the rest of our system. The convection seems to be drying up just off NC coast, and that main blob doesn't seem to be strengthening. Right now, anyway.
