Pretty nice outside, but the breeze and the occasional cloud reminds you it's only February 12th.

This showed up on my local news feed this morning. He must lurk here...

Weather Is Happening: The Boston weather service here to save us from our planet’s ‘death spiral’.

There is also a stand-alone mPing mobile app.

Quick burst coated everything as I drove to work in Needham. Big flakes too.

Nothing on radar yet here but light snow grains falling here the past 10-15 min. Must all be below the beam. 

Yeah, a few grains here in Newtonville too.

Low temp bust in Eastern MA this morning?

I think I was forecasted for low single digits, but I have 10.4 where I am in Newtonville. 

Out getting burritos. Ugly freezing rain and sleet mix. Side streets are a disaster...

Helmets required in Needham. 

Sleet city.

Coated things quickly here too.

Sleet at work in Needham. Not sure of temperature here.

A few pingers mixing in here in Newtonville. 33.6

Yeah it will be there in the next couple hours or so. It’s gonna get pretty icy. 

Guess I should have held off on my concerns.

Temp has dropped to 34.3 in the last 30 minutes. 

(I know, read more & post less... )

35.1 and rain in Newtonville. 

Will it get below freezing before the back edge of the precipitation comes through Boston?

If not, there are going to be many angry parents...

Newton just canceled schools tomorrow. 

Hopefully this doesn't end up being 32.5* and rain until the precipitation ends.

Really light snow shower. 

Weird direction to these cells, SE to NW?

Where are the US Virgin Islands? 

Did the GFS end up being mostly right this past weekend?

That’s all in newtonville? Wouldve thought at least 15 there by now. Must’ve been a local subby maybe just west of that band earlier. 

Where I am was just west of the best echoes earlier in the day. 

The park is also oriented NNE-SSW, so maybe some was lost off the top by the wind?

Rough estimate from just north and west of the band in Newtonville. Checked a number of spots in the park next to us and found about 10.5". It was around 4" at 10:30.

Near whiteout on the edge of the band in Newtonville. 

Must be nuts in the middle of it.

Couple of more drift pictures from playground. 

Daughter insisted on playing outside for a couple hours this morning. Just on the edge of the band in Newtonville. 

4-5" after measuring a number of spots? Blowing everywhere, so impossible to be sure.

Visibility under 600' when intensity pulsed up.

I'd say it's ripping under 1/4S+...

Yeah, 1/4S+ now. Temp still dropping  18.3
