11" at my house. 14" at mountain. Models showing up to another inch of QPF for the mountains in next 24-30 hours.

A dime a dozen these events are . A new generation of weenies has to be born now. If I was in middle or high school as a budding snow lover in Eastern Mass...I'd be hooked and think this is how it's always been. Getting pissed if you go 4 years without a 24-36" event.

I think that's too low in the Berkshires west slopes, but I'm sure they really spent a lot of time hashing that out compared to the population centers in E.Ma .

Didn't you have snow on the ground before the storm? Or is that just storm depth? Some of you must have some solid snowpacks between the last two systems.

5" today at a steady 0.5-1.0"/hr rate most of the afternoon. We'll just tick away for the next 48 hours lol. Snow rates in the mountains should get up there on the NW flow. I think the ski resorts end with 24-36". It's not death band snow but it is truly "days and days"...

There is a disappointing amount of photos from today from the folks under that band!

I would think the northern end of that should push west while the southern end works east a bit?

Sounds fun ha.

We are now in the northern part of that band that is reaching down into central CT. It's coming down hard and flake size increased notably. Crazy this band goes all the way down to HFD area. 12z EURO still has a long ways to go. Snows up here through 18z Thursday.

I can't believe its been sustained 1/4sm snow way out here from a low that far away. Definitely bucks the trend. The mountains are going to get feet from a storm that went what east of the Benchmark? We still have days to go up here.

That looks perfect for Ginxy... stoked for him. As usual ORH is just far enough in the right direction to get the pivot point, lol.

The simulated rad products do show sort of rare west flow upslope in your area up through the western side of the ORH hills. Obviously the best and heaviest stuff tonight into tomorrow morning will be west slopes of Litchfield county north through the Berks and Greens, but interesting to see the radar projections keeping snow going western side in your area north to Hubby. Don't see that too often.

Nice man! What are you up to in the past two storms combined now?

Snowing steadily and heavily the past few hours. Visibility has been 1/2sm or lower for the past two hours here with 0.16" in the ASOS bucket. Everything on track for a good synoptic snowfall followed by upslope crushing.

You are going to make Hay. Looks really good for significant west slope upslope all up and down the Greens. You'll probably do better than up here later tonight and tomorrow morning as you have better low level jet dynamics and perpendicular westerly flow.

To keep the posterity coming... GFS 00z.

GFS just keeps going like the energizer bunny.

ICON would work too. A lot of stuff keeps ramping this up. GFS may break that streak.

I haven't seen a set up that looks this good in a while up here. There's been this trend towards almost like an inverted trough that pivots across New England and is able to throw a lot of moisture deep into the interior. The upslope and orographic potential is high end on top of whatever the synoptic storm does. The 3km WRF is still crushing heavy upslope snow into Thursday morning. The aerial coverage of significant snowfall is crazy.

NAM is finally tapering off the snows at 18z Thursday. That was a juicy run. Wow.

The next panels are even more impressive east of you. Just crushed. That is beast mode there and looks to rot over eastern areas.

Nice GFS run...

Has not been an impressive model lately.

The Berkshires and SVT are going to get a sick upslope event too... they'll get it before we do up here based on the cyclonic flow and position of the mid-level lows. They'll be getting crushed on Wednesday afternoon and evening while its much lighter up here due to relaxed wind flow. Then it should move north up the spine as the mid-level lows drift off to the northeast and the flow increases up here. Synoptics and meso-scale features are going to make this a fascinating storm for a lot of places.

The BTV4 is at the end of its range out by you. I think that's a function of it's grid not that it thinks Maine will only get a 0.25" near Augusta. But you're right its odd. I'm not sure I've seen that before.
