I would post the obligatory tape measure in snow picture but it came out very Ginxish lol. Maybe we grab another inch or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackymann Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Chelmsford and Lowell have been ripping the past couple of hours. It's really piling up fast. I haven't gotten be out to measure recently, but it looks like a few inches already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWMan Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 And just like that, it's dumping here. Everything covered quickly. Wife says it's still pouring in the Old Port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not the kind of scientist who knows how to characterize snowflakes but it was cotton balls for a while, just huge clumps.

dendrite Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 ~0.20" at IZG and 0.15" at DAW in the can over the last hour. Plop a conservative 20:1 on those and there's 3-4"/hr right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoe456 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Was raining until 5 minutes ago. Looked outside again and is all snow - looks like it's getting heavier. Been sitting under this orange-red blob for the past few hours. Hoping it remains snow for the duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
