Finally ripping those nickel sized flakes. Stacking nicely. Closing on 4".

Look on the bright side, dense snow has good staying power.

Damn, glad the CT peeps are getting smoked! Glad @WinterWolf and @RUNNAWAYICEBERG are getting their storm they have been waiting for!

There are more than a few subby zones with this one. The radar has been awesome over my head but I have had confectionery sugar falling 70% of the time. It pours good dendrites for a few minutes, then I hear a good wind gust 1000' up and I go right back to arctic fog snow. At 25F this type of snow also makes the roads super slick.

I'll learn to read the fine print someday.

So they are expecting that much more going forward from the map's time stamp? I always just assumed those maps were storm totals.

I'm sitting in that chocking arctic fog type snow with intermittent bursts of good growth. It's a little annoying because if it continues this way all night my accumulation will be relatively low but it will heavy to shovel/blow. 2.5" of baking powder in the driveway currently. Life in the Pioneer Valley. Damn sure better than rain tho'

This is my point and click: This Afternoon Snow showers. High near 27. North wind around 15 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible. Tonight Snow showers, mainly before 4am. Low around 25. North wind around 16 mph, with gusts as high as 33 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Little or no snow accumulation expected. I'm not sure what's going on there. The radar would need to completely dry up soon if that forecast is going to verify. They have me at 4" total and I'm already over 2".

Moderate snow with decent growth here, radar looks good.

See, sometimes whining works, just flipped to moderate with much better growth. Ground truth catching up to radar.

I'm lowering my expectations to 3-4" of arctic sand here. Even under the better returns it is -SN micro flakes. It's been snowing since 1pm and I have .25" on the driveway.

Steady, light, shattered dendrites the past hour with basically a coating. 24/18 Frustrating waiting for some heavier returns to make it in.

Is it windy there? Could be the dendrites are getting shattered 1000' above you. I experience that often out here during coastal storms.

Snow haters gon' be cryin' for their mama's!

Take it to the Feb thread.

Nah’ you should do better than 3-4”

Every time.

Finally some flakes in the air in Greenfield. 24/14. I don’t imagine it will be a wet snow here...

Better odds the further north you go. The upper CRV might never get into the heavy banding so definitely some sucker hole potential.

Mining stocks FTW!

Interesting, no snow in Greenfield yet but I got down to Northampton and it looks like fresh 2 inches but nothing falling and bright cloud deck. They must’ve had some little thump in the early morning hours?

You should know better than to taunt the weenies. Yeah, that map certainly doesn’t seem unreasonable.

Whoa. Not a flake here. Cold. 18/8. RH 62%

You have the right approach, keep expectations low in that Hartford CT to Brattleboro VT corridor. I'll be happy with anything over 4"

Cold here, down to 9/1 I thought for sure we would start going up by now.
