staying in marlboro working in boxboro, ran into the wall of white coming down 495, now at marlboro hotel seems to have flipped to IP/SN mix, wife in Winsted says maybe 1.5-2" otg there... just coated-.5"  here..

despite the lack of any measurable snow, there are still some piles and shaded areas with snow cover, I'd say that's pretty impressive for nearly a month without..

up in boxboro til the end of the month and I saw a flake this morning! I've checked out of weather, save for a brief look at the models, boring Jan indeed, but there are other things to worry about these days it seems..

just over 3" otg, ending with a nice burst of legit SN under pale moonlight so I suspect it be winding down shortly, at least it's white out there

nice little burst as the radar begins to ahred before my eyes..

nice snow growth now, just got to an inch, vis about 3/4sm about, nice mood snow whitening up things, if this little band I'm under can persist, we'll push 3 by the time it winds I reckon

meh'd my way to a coating here, more flakes than grap now down to 31, and all whitened up

can we get a little more west and close off please...H5 looked a bit west this run, no? thinking 2-4 west of the river at this point maybe 3-6 in sweet spot mid-level before pummeling DEME

32/26...well that didn't last long.. doing nothing now

33/25...precip started about 20 minutes ago here, all frozen so far 50/50 sn/IP

I'll take the v16 for my birthday storm this year, thank you...trends continue looking favorable for beyond as well, let's see a 2011 Jan redo...

ALY hoisted WWA for here, I'm assuming mostly ice, cause I can't see much white with this

That happened to many people here in town. I know of at least 10. Basement ruined 

no flooding but...3 days and many man hours of chainsawing and patching holes in garage roof from one damn limb that fell just right, so the pain was spread wide... not to mention the foot of snow that was left was reduced to a couple small piles.

The New Years storm has looked terrible for 2 or 3 days now. That’s a big time cutter again I think unless we get a major synoptic change (still plausible but increasingly unlikely) 

It’s amazing how far north that one is progged to warm sector again. That’s what has been weird about these cutters...not that they are simply cutters, we get those relatively frequently early in the season, but that they are literally pushing 50s into Quebec City with zero high pressure at all creating any resistance even in far northern New England. Meanwhile they are causing snow thicknesses deep into northern Mexico...LOL. 

very bizarre pattern indeed

so are we punting the NYE storm? I had hope for that one... seems like the same ole story again, warm wet, cold dry... I would just love one nice big slow mover that lasts for 3 days, sorry for the rant but every time we sniff out something, as we close in it cuts or is fish food... not ready to punt Jan just yet

Congrats? 

4.59" freehold NY...got 2.05" official here, seems on par with the area, temp dropped 15 degrees in the last two hours... highest gust here on my PWS was 53, I'm guessing that was around 3 when the big limb came crashing on the garage... fortunately not major damage

rocking 40+ gusts now... close to 25 sustained... I got my eyes on a couple trees with weak limbs... good luck all

stuck around 55-57 since about 11, sustained at 19 highest gust so far is 32..are those returns over NJ for real because, they've been training over that area for a grip...and that line slicing through VA and NC is pretty intense

Heard from Family in Atlanta and Knoxville and both getting snow right now.

yeah was just gonna post, TN getting it too... meanwhile here in NE....60 and tropical

buddy near the outer banks said they are under tornado warning but can't confirm touchdown, saying it's wild out, on par with tropical storm type weather

some serious radar returns coming up...so far just drizzle and a little wind nothing major, 53 degrees and snow pack disappearing

I am part of a group online and a lot of tree and linesmen have already been preparing for travel to here, if not already here, so hopefully that's a plus, it would really suck to loose power on Xmas, and then the temp dropping after would be even worse...up to 50 now

already 48 here and milky sun, I caught the low level clouds cruising by this morning, I'm sure everyone has received their obligatory call from eversource telling you to expect what we already knew...and then hike rates afterwards to do more infrastructure improvement..

nice little.5" fresher today I see some got a solid advisory event, it's these little events with a few biggins that make a good winter... I just hate storm/cutter/ots/storm... repeat... I'd be happy with one MECS a month to get to climo...btw, did we loose the NYE deal, was looking good for a while now looking like fish food...
