I can no longer see outside doors or windows. Everything is caked up.

Hires models did pick up on this.

Seeing 24” reports now outta downtown PVD

I’m just south and I see the the 16-20” so I’m right in that range as well now.

840 AM update: SPC mesoanalysis indicating 973 mb low just south of the benchmark. Winds are backing more to the N and allowing colder air to filter south and east into SE MA where temps have fallen to 30F, and upper 20s at BOS. As the storm gets east of 70W this colder air will reach SE coastal MA by midday and eventually Cape Cod early afternoon. This is good news as snow character will become drier. Eventually the mesoscale band impacting RI and SE MA will clops and move eastward by 18z reducing the heavy snowfall rates.

So we got a couple more snowers this week…?

20-30” meh

Some local totals already ...Bristol County... 1 ENE Berkley 17.2 in 0812 AM 02/23 5 ESE Bliss Corner 16.0 in 0745 AM 02/23 Taunton 13.0 in 0719 AM 02/23 NWS Boston/Norton 10.3 in 0700 AM 02/23 Official NWS Obs 1 NNE Mansfield 10.0 in 0730 AM 02/23 2 ESE New Bedford 9.0 in 0600 AM 02/23 3 N Acushnet 7.0 in 0617 AM 02/23

I’d say TAN is reaching Blizzard criteria.

Just getting raked here. Best storm since 2015

ML goodies there!

Mesoscale snow band starting to pivot as it becomes oriented more NE-SW across RI and SE MA. Impressive mid level frontogenesis producing 2-3 inches/hr snowfall rates. Expect these snowfall rates to continue within this band across RI and SE MA through the morning before rates start diminishing this afternoon. Given snowfall amounts of 10-17 inches in this area as of 12z, expecting total storm snowfall of 20-30 inches across RI and SE MA, and woudn`t be surprised to see a few reports exceeding 30 inches here. my call looking good. 20-30” over this area.

4 must be some 3-4” rates in RI.

Wall o snow will. 35dbz

2-3”/hr

Probably around 12” here now.

Took my dog out at 330ish. Luckily the contractor doing snow removal had just come so walkway was clean enough. They were out several times overnight. They have since stopped.

10z HRRR still dropping 1.0-1.6” over Bristol and Plymouth counties points S and E.

May have caught a second flash about an hour ago.

Tough to capture with all the windows and doors caked with snow and ice. But here’s a short video. https://share.icloud.com/photos/04f6D7HbYDqnjyo5p1oC9pO9A

Just getting that first blue hue of the sunrise. I'm giddy to see what i can ACTUALLY see.

Yeah, unfortunate nest dynamics shift eastward and you lose that forcing to keep solid band
