I feel like this is underrated. Nearly 2' of snow in 6-8 hrs from near TAN to EWB. TSSN up the azz in PYM. Some of the heaviest snow I've ever driven in on my way to work...to the point I had to follow the guardrail on the expressway to know where I was going.
I feel like the early Dec 96 event had winds more out of the NE and just a smidge cooler aloft. Also dynamics were insane as Will said. I wish this would just bomb and consolidate vs elongate into LI.
