Powers back it's dumping tree snow and ice and it friggin hurts lol. Never thought I would be chopping ice for the first time all winter

That's weird because I spent more time chopping ice this year than any other year since I bought my first home (2011).  It seemed like after the big January storm every other storm for me was a kitchen sink / rain-ice-snow-ice-rain storm.

The last few weeks have been great though!  Big windy rain storm followed immediately by two huge snowstorms have been fun for me.

I was on the western edge of the death band in Groton, MA.  The snow was cresting over the top of my snowblower last night - something that has only happened to me 3 other times before and not since the crazy time that was January-February of 2015.  NWS BOX has North Chelmsford at 23.7" which is the closest area to me with reliable reports.

Yeah - never seen a modeled SLP do that before.  Its like fujiwhara-ing about an invisible secondary low.

Stay the course.  0z will deliver the goods.  Trust me I stayed at a holiday in once.

What the heck just happened? It's got a foot of snow up here and all other models have 2-3".

 

There is no way you only end up with 2-3".  You guys squeeze 2-3 inches out of a moist moose fart in the wind.

And sometimes it's off...it has Montpelier with an 8 and 8, implying 16-20" in north-central VT with this system lol.

You guys are in a weird spot for this one. I do think you get at least 6 inches in the hills along the spine. I'm not buying the guidance that has you at .25 QPF or less. East facing slopes will have moisture

left over to wring out of the atmosphere.
