what is changing is the temperatures. it is getting slowly and steadily warmer. precip totals, incl snow, are a different matter. But it is warmer now, on average than it was a couple/few/several/100 decades ago, on average over time.
That's unusual but I am west of the river and you are east of it? strange. in that storm a few weeks, that I was out of town for, you had about 11 inches but apparently there was only 4 or 5 here.
snow lightening which probably means thats about it.
Somewhere close to 2.5 here. Some melting for sure during the warm lull earlier so probably 3 has fallen. But snowing nicely now and accumulating. Very wet snow as you can see.
I will assume the worst here because that is the tenor of the season. I'm not sure what actually brings a shift. On the other hand, today is nice here.
Wow! I will take some pics as I'm about to go out. We def had close to 2 a bit ago. Snowing pretty hard now, probably moderate? Radar finally looks decent so we have a shot at 4.
looks like the best action is just south of ASH into central Mass. GYX talked about a midlevel fronto band which would enhance rates up this way but I don't know if or when that will happen. If we had a snowpack this would be a nice little refresher. Instead it feels like the first snow of late Nov/early Dec on top of which we build a winter pack. Maybe our whole winter starts now, 6-7 weeks late, and we get a back down by the 15th that we can build on.
