6” is 6” whether it’s man snow or not. I could care less who I lose out to. Why is it so triggering? And in Boxing Day you had almost a foot. It’s not like you had 3” of sand and lost out to Boston.
They may be similar because latitude mattered with the initial band. So it might be drier there, but in actuality less snow may have fallen.
I saw 7” downtown Hingham? That seems awfully low, though it is at the water.
This was a rare storm with little wind. Stacked up nicely as you said. Probably first time in 3 years I could measure on the car roof and be confident lol.
