  1. Yeah, that’s what I experienced here the past hour or so. It’s one of the reasons I like SWFE here over coastal storms. At my mere few hundred feet of elevation. The winds aloft in coastal storms leave me often swimming in a sea of shattered dendrites, while somebody 5 miles west of me 500’ higher doubles my snow totals due to better snow growth.
  2. Wow, this is winding down fast in the western zones. Looks like I’ll end around 4.5”. It won’t beat the December storm here but still a nice treat in a stingy winter. It’s going to feel very wintry this week! I was lucky to get into that good banding earlier tonight, otherwise probably would’ve ended with 2 or 3 inches.
  3. Winds must be cranking aloft because +SN here now but it’s baking powder. The dendrites must be getting shattered 1000’ above my noggin.
  4. It’s a narrow band that stretches for me to you. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen an orientation like that which was so narrow. What causes that from a meteorological perspective?
  5. It may not last but beautiful snow growth right now, dendrites just stacking. Not used to seeing that in the valley.
  6. Yeah, I don’t really like seeing that “broken slate gray” look but it’s early still. Couple of flakes spitting here in Greenfield.
  7. I saw snowmobiles out on Barton Cove on the Connecticut River. The oxbow in Northampton also had snowmobiles and tons of ice fishermen.
