Decent radar over your hood. Grab a quick half inch?

I thought GEFS definitely had some wiggle room for another overunning event between Christmas and NYE.

Winna' winna' jackpot dinner. You beat me by .25" give or take.

You want to throw out a 4 digit O/U on those w/o power by morning?

I'm interested to see what the wind brings to the National Grid outage map. But yes, nothing like sunrise upon glazed landscape. It's awesome and rare!

This band has been right over Greenfield for the past hour.

4.5" now w/ snow globe snow.

Been there, not my favorite sound, especially at night.

Steady -SN/SN with a few pellets mixed in. That band form the SW Berkshires is running right over C of Franklin Co.

Rare for Greenfield to be one of the JP zones but these are the events to do it in. I almost feel like the higher hills to my WSW help enhance snow here when the precipitation is coming in at this trajectory.

Steady snow/graupel mix has started up. I was kind of ready to be done since I've already cleared the driveway. Twice. Whatever falls stays put at this point.

24" here in December, not bad. Grinch stole the pack earlier but hasn't stolen a white Christmas, yet.

Looks like a decent little slug of moisture into C CT on radar. Maybe somebody breaks .5" of ice?

The back edge is hauling ass now, glad we got this last good band. I think @ORH_wxman called it earlier when I was hand wringing. Close to 1" past hour, might finish around 4.5"

Flip phone.

That sucks. I was surprised at how high some of the CT ice totals are.

4" can we do more?

How's the ice there? Roads?

As bad as modeling seemed they did kind of get this area right as did BOX forecast.

Heaviest snow since 8am but maybe of the whole storm. Weird because radar shows me in almost a dead spot NE of the bright echos.

Well here comes my 4" spot, absolute poundage right now!

I've gone from baking powder flakes to ice pellets to moderate snow, big flakes in the past 15 minutes. Hoping this can lay down that .25" or so I need to hit 4".

Schizophrenia storm. Rates change every 10 minutes. Tiny ice pellets now, that will not be great on the roads. 27F
