I don't think there's a lot of leaves out there in the areas that have best chance, say 1000ft and higher but still wet snow is wet snow.

A rare Dryslot sighting in the NNE thread! Holy crap that is a lot more widespread than any other run to date.

12z EURO has MVL at 34F with snow early Tuesday morning.

Yeah, it's crazy what a short term dump of water coupled with continued ski area melt will do to area waterways. Nothing will flood but everything went from low water to raging really fast. 1.76" at the base of the ski area station now and I live a half mile SW from the 1.4" station in town. The river that follows RT 108 from mountain to town is really moving.

Some impressive rain this morning. Already 1.20" rain since midnight at home and 1.61" up at the office. With the snow melt there is an eye-opening amount of water coming down off the hills. Whitewater in every little creek. 0.85" in 3 hours at MVL.

From yesterday in the main thread... pulling this thing out of the woods means it's probably going to snow again. ----- No new snow at 3,000ft Stake...I ended up pulling it out and bringing it down this evening for the season. Still 20-30" on the ground in that 3,000ft elevation band. 

Crisp clear lakes, rivers, mountains to escape the heat and some might argue the mountains do thunderstorms pretty well comparatively. Lines of storms go nuts once they hit the terrain usually.

Cinco de Mayo was a beautiful one. With some buds showing on trees in town, maybe we are starting to turn the corner! Upper 60s at MVL and beautiful 50s up on the mountain. Got quite the sunburn today, probably means its time for a new NNE thread.

There can be a 12" difference in town up here, lol. Hell you can do 1" per mile or even more. A couple inch difference in towns is nothing at all.

The GYX coastal plain (or at least outside the mountains) has seen the 7-10 split now... BTV's area has had several double digit events and now down south in the I-95 corridor. That's the SNE climate though. They may wait for it, but it's usually less events but bigger ones, vs. NNE is more frequency but average snowfalls lower.

So looking at this storm though, in the grander context of this winter, this storm system to me seems like it wasn't the result of any one weather pattern but more "luck" of the draw (ha). Fast flow, no real over-whelming signal for a low to track where it did but earlier in the winter several of these did about the same thing as this one, but those tracked from like HFD to BOS or PWM. The storms we had up here this winter were very similar to that one down there, fast moving omega QPF bombs...maybe without the 850mb fronto....but widespread 8-16" NNE snows in 18 hours or so. But this same storm has occurred at least 2 or 3 times so far this winter, just like 50-100 miles north AND also down in D.C. They aren't "big dogs" from a mid-level look but they are just juiced fast movers. Maybe that's the luck part...fast flow energy ejecting out of the southern Plains and ripping along in the flow...unmanned firehose just spraying the energy up near New England. This time SNE got the track needed.

You do owe some photos though, I'll hold you to that. I love a good snowstorm photo as most of you know.

Hold up. They take snow measurements out where that red dot is? That's not even Boston. That's the Atlantic.

Congrat's man.... really mean that. Been a tough winter down there of dark days and winter rain. When I think of your Dec/Jan/Feb, yeah don't wish that shit on anyone. Really nice to win one I'm sure. Need some pics later! Weymouth 1, Stake 0 in March .

That looks like spring, it's almost like you brightened the photo up for affect. Windows down and arms hanging out the truck?

From what I've seen (not all that much on this system) I'd say 3-6" seems plausible for you and eastern CT up to ORH. 6"+ in SE MA. Its possible a weenie ribbon of 6" is back your way with a mid-level band but I agree with the guys if it doesn't close and stays open wave, it'll be Advisory level for an arc from like you to Ray.

You should enlighten him on what he should be looking at... what maps are you looking at DIT? SFC or mid-levels?

This is crazy. Just keeps amping up into SNE.

2004 Red Sox vs. Yankees ALCS...losing the series 3-0...Just need to win one. The rest will follow.

This is awesome. The model is showing SE NE's geography benefit. It's like that is where the model thinks the coast-line should be but Mass just juts out into the marine.

Hope you get a foot dude. Build a fort with the kid and watch it snow like it's 2015. You may legit have a shot at like 18" between the two systems.

Coastalwx melts and then gets biggest event of season... get Bryce in that snowsuit!

lol what a crush job for you southern areas.

84 hours of snowfall now... gonna be hard to top this one for duration. What a freakin' storm.

Ha we'll just move into the next named storm. Its definitely picked up again this morning, snowing 1/4sm to 1/2sm at times. With the drop in temperatures the flakes are over to that high ratio upslope that you'll find with summit temps near 10F. GFS actually keeps precip going into tomorrow morning possibly. Hard to believe it started around dawn on Tuesday.
