Snowing nicely this evening, started an hour ago, light dusting on colder surfaces

At 3" now

What happened to your other name?
Wonder if you’re close to flipping. A lot of people mistake wet aggregates (from surface warming or aloft) as good dendritic growth when usually it’s a case of the flakes starting to melt at some level. CQX is up to 33°.

Best snow flakes of the storm are happening right now, dendrite production good,

It's almost 32F here but I would say steady
Moderate snow with radar filling in to the west

Yeah what a ****ing bust for me, I thought at least best storm of the season we only
Best the previous high by .5"

A lot of people are surprised. Had a meeting with a wedding planner this morning who came up from Portland and was shocked - she wanted to see the yard, firepit etc lol. 
I like having a deep pack, for sure, although I'm more into watching it fall than the pack itself. Of course, the combination of the 2 is the holy grail. Hopefully we rebuild fast after this cutter, we've had a deep snowpack for quite a while

Just flurries the camera doesn't even pick them up

Albany getting blitzed

so...do you live on the Cape?

Yes I do, I live out in Harwich, MA.

One that's not in my top five in terms of snowstorms is the December 9th 2005 bomb, that delivered 100-120mph gusts to the Cape Cod, MA area.

The snowstorm of December 20-21 2010 was probably the most surprising snowstorm we have had in a long time out here on the Cape.  It was so surprising because there wasn't even one weather headline posted that morning of the 20th before a Winter Weather Advisory was posted around 3pm EDT that afternoon, then around 6pm EDT a Winter Storm Warning was issued for 6-10", then the updated warning issued was for 6-12" across the Cape and Islands.  We ended with 11.0" for storm total out here in Harwich, MA.  Then the great Boxing Day Blizzard struck New York City, NY no less than 6 days afterwards, we ended up with 1.0" of snow from that storm.  The 20th of December was amazing, it snowed the whole day, but not nearly hard enough to accumulate given the rather warm surface temperatures, but once nighttime rolled in so did the heavy band of white roll on through the region.  It was an amazing sight.  Throughout the morning hours it looked like the ultimate screw job was taking place, until the ocean storm sent the band westward after 12pm EDT.  It was like a complete whiteout for several hours at least and accumulated quickly once sun set.  It was truly a winter wonderland.

Sorry number 5 was January 27-28th 2008
