Just went out and shoveled a bit so we could let the pup out. Didn't take any measurements but I'm guessing about 7 or 8" so far down here. A mix of sleet and snow right now.
2" here in Salem, CT. It really came down under that heaving banding from 12-3pm but changed back to rain by 4:30pm and never got below 34 until after midnight.
Small tree down across the road just up the street. Lucky it missed the overhead lines. Helped the state trooper pull it off to the side.
Tropical storm like outside now - heavy heavy sideways rain.
Nice constant background roar going now, with some pretty heavy gusts. Whenever the heavier batches of rain come the wind definitely mixes down really well.

16" here, might squeak out another tenth. Parents in Niantic said about 18" around 6pm. They might have gotten a bit more after that as this final batch has been moving through.
Snowing lightly now that I'm in between the 2 heavy CT bands. Just took 3 measurements. 12.5", 13.5" and 15" on flat areas of the driveway away from the house. So I'll call it 13.75" so far. Might be able to squeak out another inch if that west most band moves overhead before the end.
