Wind? Everyone of the photos I keep seeing look crazy to measure. I bet you could send 12 people outside to the same area to measure and get 12 different amounts varying by 4-8”. I mean just looking at the pics DIT posted, good luck. It’s probably 8-18”.

All we got up here was an arctic sand dusting and a bunch of twigs, pine boughs and debris on the snow surface from last night's wind.

Ah nice to wake up and read a couple pages of everyone trying to steal each other's snow. Should be a fun week .

Vacation land. Winter vibes.

Only a dusting this evening in Stowe. Just arctic air moving through the ski town. Great winter sunset as earlier mentioned.

Still some CCB signs in that along with mid-level deformation banding? Strong lift, dynamic. There are a couple things going on there it seems... what a fascinating radar between ORH and BOS. Moving ENE very slowly.

I won't lie, I text that to a few folks in the ski industry. Taunton, MA. January 29, 2022. That pic verifies accumulations. Best one of the storm.

Measuring snow in the photos everyone has shown looks extremely tough... the drifting, wind lips everywhere. Stuff blown off roofs, cars, decks... basically the snow fills all low lying areas. What a look. Once it goes over 16-24" it becomes hard to tell what's what IMO. That's a lot of snow moving around. A lot of long time posters on the various forums got absolutely smoked today. It read like an old thread and why folks tune in to this type of coverage for an event. Someone needs to go for a Jeb walk in the snow with Jebman posting.

This band down I-95 in Maine seems truly stalled. It's weakening but also constricting. It's narrow but there has to be 4"/hr falling out of that given the thermal profiles in the DGZ and resulting fluff factor. That interstate has to be brutal navigating right now.

And you said over-performer… trust your gut instinct original call, haha.

Thanks for the pics from windy VT. Glad to see the NH crowd got into this one. The 6-10” expectations seemed about right.

Wow, that pic is super impressive. Like stuff you see out of a lake effect event south of Buffalo. What’s your seasonal normal snowfall? Did you get it in one day? .

How much you up to? Not sure I remember seeing a report. Hopefully the boys are loving it.

It was true arctic haze sunset! Felt like some Nat Geo documentary in the arctic.

I was just coming here to post, radar really blew up over your area.

This is the content we are lurking in this thread for... thank you and nice score!

More pics!

Stoked for the RI crowd. You guys seem to be in screw zones more often than not.

That's a disgusting radar lol. Wow. Just crush job in BOS proper. Hopefully it pushes ashore up north for our Mainahs.

It's cold with arctic small flake stuff blowing around but it's essentially virga. Expecting 0.0" here. But looks like our Mainers are about to get wrecked by this band coming ashore.

My sister’s house in Islip along the canals.

The largest band will form where the QPF gradient is in my opinion. That seems to be the trend. Depends on what model you look at though. The 3km NAM seems plausible.

The 00z HRR has a large area of 1.0"+ QPF... with good ratios, that's a big time event.

I like you to Alex when digging into the soundings. There’s an upslope component to the larger scale synoptic moisture… you can see how the meso-models fluidly wrap QPF from northeast to northwest/west aspects of the larger White Mtn zones. Final 5,000ft to the surface and below, they see winds move back on the dial to go from NE to NW throughout the event. It should add low level lift/condensing of moisture compared to the southern side.

Meh .
