I put phone down for 20 minutes , logged back on , saw all the posts and knew the NAM was good . This place is freaking classic 

yup I always know good runs happen by the amount of new posts 

not a bad look 72 hours or so out, but I hope this isn't like the 2015 storm where there was 24+ amounts eor, and I was stuck with heavy sand and maybe 8-10" of it, I don't remember what I got here in that one honestly, but still impressive for poor snow growth, also coldest day so far at -7.6°

Tips IDAHO Kitchen top is always a key.

the chimney ridge can maybe be a little more west no? and a little truncated, seems very steep, don't we want that W and a little less sharp so the S/W has a bit less digging and tugs W more

No blotter?   lol

that was the blot, mdots were hard to come by, but we used to go to Central Park every weekend for the blotter

Yes despite the double purple barrels and dissolving stamps

window panes and woodstocks man...that was it in my day, with the occasional Mdot for laughs ...

This is more shocking then Belichick not getting in on the first ballot HOF.

it's not a storm, therefore Will would not be a go to, I'm terrible with names too but can remember obscure actors or things from decades ago, but when it comes to storms I've never seen anyone as good as Will being able to quickly pull an event I totally forgot about, out of the either with ease...wish I could do that!

We all have our wants and needs to where we would like H5 to close off, Unfortunately, None of us have a say in the matter.

that looks like it was a bit stronger but dug more S this run to me anyway 

looks like it ticked more south with some of those members, still have time for more north capture and closed off, but like tip said, a few more runs and it's either game on or ots, does have potential to absolutely explode though, where is the concern

anybody know the total for Boston?

think logan was at 20.2 but that's a few hours ago 

gotta say I didn't have stars out and still flakes flying 40 hours after it started, unbelievable deep winter feel out there, like it should be.

This one is going to have some wind 

yeah if this verifies and hits, I can actually see blizzard conditions verifying somewhere, some deep lows in those ensemble members...

so what was the highest jack from this one? I saw a 24.7" in Sterling I think, but nobody else I saw over 22", yet that is.

low-key picked up an inch today on and off light snow, still light snowing, a few more tenths and it'll be 20" storm total

Ok...Im right on the Springfield/Longmeadow line, the kid measured 14 out in the open in an unplowed section of road. There was three already otg before the storm started on many grassy  surfaces...just seems a little high but Springfield is huge. We also had terrible snowgrowth and there's some serious meat in this arctic sand so I have no doubt believing we got 1.4 inches qpf.

that's nothing, a guy I work with just said on his property in wilbraham @900', was 36"...i legit laughed, I said a drift maybe, or total snow otg, but nobody in that area got over 20" as far as I saw anyway.

Thoughts on Blue Hill Obs for this one? 21.4 so far..

are the other obs recent too? seems a bit out of place, and is it a spotter or official?

you know what sucks is the ABS module on my truck went, long lead time order, been waiting since fall, and it disables 4WD and cruise control, aside from ABS, but it's a known issue and I can't drive it in any snow because of that, my other vehicle is a 2000 Accord v6, that needs new coil connectors and better plugs, so it's not 100%, at least my dad has a Jeep compass that's decent in snow, best vehicle I ever drove in snow was my wife's old Grand Cherokee, back in 2013 I was driving that after the storm and it was like on rails in snow. 

This has a chance to be a monster, true coastal instead of a hybrid SWFE coastal combo, need some ticks NW or it's game over for WOR folk.

You’re not done yet 

I got a half inch earlier, doubt anything else falls, the suns trying to poke out, on to the next threat which I thought would have been a true coastal monster, we'll see if it hits or whiffs, but sig and tele have been there for a while now

14.1" storm total w/clearing twice. About 12-13 depth. 

if anyone has reports wait till the end of the day after its all said and done so i can get a final. will have to wait till tomorrow for cocorahs and coop to get todays stuff. 

18.7" was my final after adding what fell after I cleared before bed, lots of 18-20" going back into WNY up through NH and NEMA, awesome considering we were under 10° for almost all of it.

There was another .5" on the board for a one day total of 18.7" that fell, it's compacted some but man it looks awesome out there, I believe the biggest storm since moving to Winsted, I'll have to check, lots of drifting and waving of the snow.

This is the best snow here in hours. We weren’t even necessarily getting better returns than the last few hours but the dryslot approaching is probably helping. 
 

that's heading right for ya too, it's an impressive little burst

that band that's about over my head is producing cat paws in spectacular fashion, I know I won't last but my God!

gotta say this is impressive, considering most of this fell with very low temps... not sure I've ever seen such a large swath of 8+"under 10°...

just did a 5 measurement average for 18.2" and cleared the board and walk again, we'll see what falls between now and tomorrow morning and add em up, impressive in only about 12 hours of legit rates, maybe even less because around 9/930 is when it really started dumping, first flakes at 0645. will take a 24 hr measure at 0645 tomorrow morning. and I guess I'm solo cleaning because everyone is sick in this house but me... outstanding!

you know it's deep when the cars front is under snow...
