About 1 foot, tough to measure due to late drifting.  Just a pasting for the first 3/4 of the storm, snowed hard with temp at 32.2 most of that time.  Power went out at 10:30pm and still out.

33.4  mod snow wind NE 7.6mph

Flipped here, SN-  35.6/35.2  0.21 precip  NE 3.8mph

35.6/35.2  rain/mix  0.21 precip

35.8/35.4   still a mix.   0.13 precip so far

Light rain started about 7:30am, temp was 37.5  with dew at 35.6.  Now seeing mixing at 8:10am, precip a bit heavier.  Temp 36.0 dew 35.2

"April is the cruelest month."

That's beyond dispute in my book.  If I had $$ for every time I heard Barry Burbank reference a "Wheel of Misfortune" spinning endlessly in the western Atlantic during April, I could retire.  Cruel but unfortunately around here, not unusual... punishment.

Driving south was strange to go from sleet into light snow with decent flakes, then back to pouring sleet in Portsmouth at 9am.  Now light snow here in Portsmouth, with occasional pellets

closing in on 4in, now sleet/snow grains and 25 / 24

31.5 / 27  SN-

Fond memories of that one making the season bright

Only I didn't say fudge.

Same thing happened on my Ariens beginning of this season - easiest way to fix it is drill a hole to make winding the spring simple - found this video that shows how it's done plus a few good other tips, made the whole repair 15 a minute job (not counting the 11 mins to watch the vid)  Worked like a charm, Good luck!

Absolutely crushing to north and west of me. Really hopeful it'll drift to east with the storm.

2" - 3" per hour stuff here, lots of whiteouts & drifting with gusts picking up under that band

You are ground zero up here right now. When did you move from Auburn?

Moved May 2016.  Couldn't help noticing the Auburn wall of defeat in action on radar this morning - there was a continuous hole centered on them for about 2 hours, while things were ramping up here.  I don't miss that a bit.  Better convective stuff here in the summer too...  But it's wild outside right now - the treeline 60 yards away getting obscured and disappears in any gusts.  Interesting to see where this thing pivots later...

I’m not sure what the beam is hitting SW of the radar site. @OceanStWx would know.

Thanks, curious what creates it.  Up to 8 or 9" now, on a ridge with eastern exposure so drifting is an issue.  Band seems to reform overhead with good inflow from GOM still showing.  Hopefully it expands west to get you into the goods.

Getting closer

 

What creates that attenuation angle running thru Sanford down to Rochester-Dover?  Looks like the heart of the band extends Farmington to well off Kennebunk including under that attenuated wedge?

Perhaps radar presentation of the Auburn wall of drought (works equally well in winter as in summer)
