Syrmax

Snowing adequately here. I'm guessing it'll end up around 2 maybe 3" with this shot.

Picked up here. I've seen worse. Its not NE grade. March sun angle must be doing it's dirty work here.

I hope there's more to it than this cuz...#weaksauce

It looks a bit deathy to me.

Snow rate picking up but small flakes so far on southern fringe of the wraparound trying to head south.

Presented without comment.

Whoa. I see pink for the northern KBGM counties. Things must be serious.

I'm not going there. But, in-house models were predicting upwards of 75-100.

How far from Niantic River waterfront are you? Trying to confirm that a friend's sandbagging me in a friendly wager for Niantic this storm. My old stomping grounds.

Is it "deathband" worthy yet? #SMH #GAGMEWITHASPOON

If I didn't respect Jim as a knowledgeable meteorologist and one that is not afraid to embrace his weenie-side, i'd root for a rogue wave to wash him out to sea. And there are so many others ahead of him on that wish list...

what does wxbell get for monthly subscrip? I may get one for next winter. TIA.

Looking at radar, appears that the precip shield is beginning to pivot NW and fill in a bit, as pretty well depicted on various modeling. Should be back in the game around SYR by later today. Not sure that we will see better rates till later tonight or tomorrow. Just a bit of snizzle in downtown thusfar today since 8 am. As expected.

yeah, pretty sure not a lot of rigor being put into some measurements. For purposes of this place, I don't strictly adhere to 6 hrs for posting purposes but...for reporting to NWS I generally do, but then again I'm not ever going to set any snowfall rate records. Total snowfall i report to CoCoRaHS pretty rigorously.

Have to say, looking at NE forum, mesoscale banding with these rapidly developing nor'easters is maddening for many. Fortunately, in the rare cases we get them with synoptic storms, the differential between have's and have-nots doesn't seem to be as dramatic. Though, I guess we get a similar effect from lake effect, which is more frequent and maybe more maddening when you're within 5 miles of a good LE single band and sucking wind.

Not sure about KBUF but KBGM AFDs have been mentioning moderating temps with highs in the 40s this weekend. Maybe in Scranton-WB I suppose...

Not to jump ahead but...Eurotrash says this thing going on today/tomorrow may not be the last. Certainly, no signs of a warmup anytime soon. The window for that has pretty much shut.

Pretty consistent with previous runs from what I can see. Will be interesting to see how much of that accumulates. UVV not huge but Pretty well aligned to DGZ here and enough moisture. Looks like a 24 hr period of 1/4-1/2" per hr rates near us I think.

Glad i am not in SNE near the coast due to wind issues again with a weakened infrastructure and...those mid 30s sfc temps and antecedent mild ground temps are holding back accums thusfar. And will throughout the daylight which is when most of their snow will occur. Jackpot forecasts of 20"+ on CC and near shoreline look stupid. I also had noticed some questionable UVV & DGZ alignments although plenty of moisture available, which may not help either. Glad my storm contest forecast didn't go overboard there. Still thinking 12-15" though from PVD - HYA - BOS - ORH area.

2" overnight. 0.22" L.E. Snow has shifted east of I-81.

I don’t think KBOS has officially had any storms of 2 feet this winter but yeah, Eastern New England again has had 3 blockbusters with 16-24”. Logan is tough to get huge totals being right on the water. Not really rep of eastern Mass IMO. Worcester has had two 16” storms though. Look to be a lock for #3 here.

00Z GFS sas hold the phone on outrageous amounts...even in New England. GFS usually stingier than NAM but this looks more reasonable overall. Perhaps a GFS / NAM blend verifies.

Just measured 1” down now at 2330

Someone should do a dissection of the nor’easters this season. It would make a novella in and of itself. This will be at least the 4th major one. It started with the so-called “Bomb Storm” back in January that rivaled alltime records for 24 hr pressure drops as I recall. Or was it late December? Seems like ancient history now. Amazing stuff.
