Chris I call bullshit, shop @ exit 5 still measured 4" in spots and 4.5"

Once again Eastern Mass Weather tops! I hope I get a free key chain or Yeti tumbler

Will take a few picks, measurements 

There's a decent gradient around here. 2.5-4" in my yard, but I see 6-7" reports a few miles away in East Derry/Chester. Northern part of Windham probably has 1-2" more than me. 300-350' or so seems to make the difference too in these, I'm only at 250'. 

3.3". Exit 3 north did better, especially with little elevation. My non slant sticking cousin said 6" in MHT. 

~1"... I'd imagine the elevated parts of Derry/Chester are doing pretty well, more in the center of the banding

Getting into the slot now...best goods will be north of me IMO.

Probably...I'm still sneaking into the banding, its ripping here...but the best is NW. Hopefully back builds south some. Might also fill in a bit from the south in a bit.

has anyone in NH seen over 1 inch so far 

Maybe New Ispwish area? 

HRRR is probably overdone, but the 22z run goes wild with qpf in SNH this evening. Drops 3/4" around MHT 

Finally picking up a bit with the heavier echoes moving into NH. Coating on everything, but qpf in general has been anemic. 0.14" through the Davis

We melting here. 

It's almost like a coating of sleet here. Flakes have been really rimed. I think its largely meh here until 5-6pm, and then it's make or break if we're gonna grab a few inches.

This system is what it is, It just never gets going in time until it’s well east of the region, Never like seeing a showery nature to the radar back to the west where the primary is.

700mb dry slot never makes it north of route 2, but 500mb blows into CNE for a few hours. I think precip will regenerate north or route 2 into CNE, but the dgz is pretty high. Probably crappy sleety flakes until it resaturates this evening/overnight. It's why the HRRR ptype maps are showing sleet into NH later this afternoon. Warm layer aloft is gone on the soundings, but the dgz is drying out from above. 

Had some mix early, but over the wet snow now

Nam going wild on qpf with the initial band

I was conflicted.....the NARCAN maps are are so paltry....part of me wishes I had incorporated them and positive snow depth change more, but sometimes NARCAN  is too conservative. But this is the type of marginal situation where they may just sniff the terd out.

For you and me, Im most concerned with getting good forcing and enough qpf.  Soundings are good enough if we get decent lift, but if were scrapping out like  0.3" qpf over 12 hours like the 18z euro, it's not gonna cut it.

I'm not far off your thoughts though around here, been thinking 3-6".

I’m talking about today.
 

In regards to yesterday, 

Most of rockingham county, chief.

Even DAW hit  37/36 in heart of Strafford.
 

We are definitely running above today, so I could see spots tickling it. I'll give you that. I live in Rockingham and hit 37 yesterday

40’s today. Feels, sounds and looks like very late march.

Short term guidance, again, lost.

Outside of fake midnight highs,  nobody in NH came close to 40 yesterday but PSM

Nam is kind of a mess. These weird QPF blobs. 

3hr qpf looks so weird. 3k looks more solid again

He's a school teacher

And he's probably getting more than 6"

3k looks good, pike north into SNH 

Euro is definitely more juiced than 06z on the low res graphics 

Gonna be a weenie clown map worth hanging on the wall on that run

Snowing on cranmore mtn. Cam

Looks like the alot of the whites are flipping over now on CC

Steady rains 34F. I remember when the euro had 55F to MHT today

And now 37 wtf?

Had some clearing here earlier and radiated down quickly too. Bounced back up some now that it's clouded back up

Well if we can manage to grab a pack, the euro op would be a good way too keep it into Feb

Looking for this?

Yeah in theory those should be better. They can still be too heavily with light precip but there's alot more logic in there to reduce accretion rates

Just now, dendrite said:

Elevation enhancement on the qpf and sfc cold…it usually overdoes the high terrain QPF a bit. But it could be nasty down there 1k-2kft…especially with a drier CAA feed.

That map may just be 1:1 ratio too. Not 100% sure. I wish the FRAM maps were more readily available 

Gfs is definitely warmer aloft than the nam/hrrr, but still cold at the surface. Pretty icy look for central NH maybe down into the monads, even gets borderline down to near MHT at times around 32-33F.
