This is frustrating being words. Barely a trace on the ground while old digs, hpn, gets smoked as well as the southern ct counties. So near but so far. This must be what it feels like to be just off the edge of a lake effect band.

 

This is how it feels on the shoreline when the northern part of the state picks up several inches while we rot with rain at 33. It feels pretty nice in these events that go against the norm. And this is the second time in the last week.

 

We're borderline heavy snow now...hang onto this for an hour and we get 5" easy.

Except instead of missing out on 4" you miss out on 4'. Just a wee bit different.

Running through Boston, there were a few stray flakes on the ground on icy surfaces. Yet every so often a car would come by which was covered with a couple inches of snow. I assume that these were people who'd made the trek north from TAN and points south. 

 

The dew point spread is particularly impressive:

 

BOS: 6      MQE: 10      PYM: 23

BED: 3      OWD: 8        TAN: 24

ORH: 0      SFZ: 18       PVD: 23

 

I particularly like the trip down 91 from HFD (4) to MMK (11) to HVN (18). It's like a coastal front of dew points.

 

Too bad, since the echoes, if they were real, would have had BOS pounding all morning. Now we have ugly brown snow/crust.

Needed that 30 mile cushion in this one for the good snows.

 

You never want to be on the northern edge of decent QPF on these...unlike a coastal with good Atlantic inflow where the QPF often extends further NW than modeled....this was the opposite.
