That obs came from 2 miles west from and 200+ feet higher than downtown. Might've meant an extra 10" (though 25" in town center isn't too shabby.)

Forecast here was 5-9 and by 4 yesterday we'd had only a trace. Then the band arrived from the SE, and we finished with 6" even, with 2/3 of that coming in 90 minutes, 5:30-7 PM. Pack was 28" at 9 last night, settled back to 25" now. Tomorrow may be the best remaining chance to put on the snowshoes and prune apple trees while I can be 8 feet tall.

Reminds me of the SNE bomb of Feb. 1978. Lived in Fort Kent at that time and we had 2" while some EMA/RI spots had over 3 feet. And seeing a post from The County is excellent.

I've read that some southern Maine spot got 16" from 3/1888, which compares poorly with 30" at ASH, not to mention something like 50 at HVN. Only Maine record I've found was the Gardiner co-op, which recorded 8.0" on a day with temp 38/32 so obviously paste.

Not bad. I don't have the York County numbers but it wouldn't be a surprise if there were some 20" totals there. I measured 9.5" from 18+ hours of steady moderate snow while Farmington co-op recorded 14.0". If we'd gotten the big dog from early month, some records would've been shattered as the co-op finished with 58.3", their 4th biggest month and tops for months not beginning with "F". My 55.5" is the 2nd snowiest month anywhere, behind only the 61.5" for Dec 1976 in Fort Kent.

Maybe not since 135 years ago?

34.1" in the 1980s. Only one season topped 60" and it took the 13.3" April blizzard to get there. 70s were about the same as the LT avg.

Data for Boston (Logan) that I've gleaned has their 1920-on average at 43.2" (with some early decades not at Logan) and 49.7" for 1991-2020. For the 2010s it was 52.4". (Without 2014-15, the 30-year is 47.4" and the 2010s only 46.0".) Edit: Ninja-ed by jm1220

Your late afternoon 5-7 call for my area was spot on. Accumulating snow began about 4 PM and the band from northern GOM hit about an hour later. Had 5.5" from 4-9 plus another 0.5" overnight, with about 4" pounding from 5:30-7 PM, some 3"+/hr periods. For such a sticky snow, the near 10:1 ratio (6.0"/0.61" LE) was surprisingly high.

I learned that in the 1993 Superstorm, was tracking 1.5-2"/hr on the deck and when it approached 10", I checked out the cul-de-sac and found ~6". Low 20s and late afternoon so no delay in accumulation. (That storm was one of the more disappointing 10"+ events in memory, as essentially every other site in New England had more, and the forecast had been 1-3 feet. Warmth aloft caused heavy riming, such that my 1.70" LE only made 10.3".) Moderate snow arrived about 4 PM, but without some inch-an-hour S+ we'll fall short of the 5-9" forecast.

Finally seeing a few flakes after 3.5 dry hours. Maybe it waited until the sun was low enough to allow accumulation, though we're mid 30s atm.

That nice green lobe south of Fundy has some NW in its track (at present) but everything west of there seems to run WNW by W and would stay to our south. Edit: And we're more than 200 feet lower than the key elev, though I don't think Mile Hill at 800' has done any better so far.

Had non-accumulating light snow 10-noon, nothing since except the wind exercising the trees, echoes getting farther and farther away from here. Can't recall ever getting only a trace from a warned storm (forecast here was 5-9) but there's still many hours in which to avoid a first time.

Club trail thru our woodlot looked nice and smooth on my walk yesterday. Nothing doing here atm, echoes are traveling NNW instead of N or NE, thus passing to our west. Unless that direction changes or the system moves farther NE, I smell a bust. (However, GYX forecast for here has the majority falling after dark.)

First real flakes here at 10:05 (had some teeny flakey things about 7) but no accum yet, sill too light to stick at 33°.

Dublin/Jaffrey area in NH, I'm less familiar with the VT towns. For a hairy drive in NH, take Rt 101 past Temple Mountain.

Took the season's first core last Monday": 9.31" from a 30" pack. Depth was down to 7" after the upper 40s New Year's Day but even that had about 3" LE. From then thru 3/6 we had about 8" precip (62" SN) with the depth peaking at 36" on 3/4, and even with the much AN temps there was more settling than melting.

Looks like 4-5" up my way at 10:1 ratio. Fringe of the storm, full daylight, mid-March - maybe 5:1 with little accum except on the old snow. We've already reached the full-season snowfall, so I can't complain. (Though I may, anyway.)

Gorgeous near-calm day on the Flying Pond ice, though the breakable crust made for tough walking until the sun softened it late morning. Not many strikes but took home an 18" bass & 13" brookie. Then a fave birthday supper, meatloaf, baked spuds, and my wife even bought me some broccoli. (She hates broccoli.)

And we take our 6-7", though it would pinch a bit knowing that 4 times that much fell less than 40 miles away. Shades of Feb 13 and Christmas night 2002. Will the qpf cutoff be that dramatic?

For a storm that passed barely inside the BM, it was very nice here in the foothills, with 19.9". Then another 16.5" a week later. Only 2001 had more March snow.

That sequence Jeff posted would obliterate Cape Cod - storm force easterlies thru 3 full tide cycles? Might have Provincetown Island if that verified.

Would prefer what happened 2 weeks earlier. The April Fool’s Freshet 1987 redux?

That's our part of the neighborhood, our 1/10-acre lawn surrounded by trees 60-80' tall. Most are hardwoods but even those trees block 25-40% of sunshine. Come April the fields along Industry Road will melt down to grass while there's still a foot or more on the garden. That and an angry, anti-snow guy who shovels everything out onto the street to melt on sunny days. That's Fort Kent about mid-April. Once most of the lawn is bare, all the piles along driveway and road get blown onto the pavement, sometimes covering the entire adjacent lane with 6-12" slop.

2nd pic looks something like your avatar, except that it's real size.
