Final (assuming nothing more falls) is 21", on exactly 2.10" LE - can't make this stuff up.  Had 15.5" between 9 PM and about 4 AM when it ended.

Wow....amazing it was 10:1 there given the rates and how far north you are. QPF bomb. I'm majorly jealous. I haven't had one of these since moving here (last one I recall is March 2001) and even after waking up yesterday morning I thought it was still mine. Alas the models pulled the football from me when I was about to kick the crap out of it. Congrats to you Mainers though. Those are some wackadoo totals.

Must have had some snow showers come through overnight.  Looks like a fresh .25" or so on the cars. 

I was thinking it was from blowing, but it's snowing again now from the streamer creeping over the spine so I guess it was new.

My wife is reporting 2-3" from the casa in Maine.  They'll probably match that--maybe more--tomorrow night.

lol Jay.  Sh*t was funny to read.  Dude, you completely weenied out for that storm.  Awesome.

 

I would be interested to read/ hear from beginning to end the duration of the storm for the places that received the biggest totals up in Maine.  Wasn't the lifespan of this storm fairly short...12 hours or so, considering the totals I am reading?  There must have been some serious and quick accumulations happening per hour.

Its possible its real. In the northwest corner of town there are some houses near 900ft and its 5 miles nw of here. There is actually a spot that reaches over 1000ft but its in the woods lol. The lowest part of town is 380ft or so. The gradient in the 2008 ice storm was impressive as well. It was extremely bad at my location in that though due to being further east with some elevation. 

I forgot about the area up 140 where you go through the town line a couple times. Gets pretty high just east of there on justice hill Rd.  That's prob where the report would be most realistic since we already know some of the higher spots in Princeton had double digits...so 8.4 wouldn't be a shock on the northern side of sterling with several hundred feet of extra elevation.

Even in ORH there was some big differences. Close to 6" at the Holden line and prob half that on the east side near lake quinsig.

19.0" was the total, Absolute crush for a  hour period Mike.

As I look at the pics and the time of the event, it gives me flashbacks to the Feb. 2001 storm.  I think it was like 20+ inches in about 9 hours.  I hope I can see that again

Snowing pretty good here with nice fluffy lake effect flakes.

Measured around 7" this am. Probably lost an inch or so to compaction. I'd say storm total around here was probably 8". The Euro nailed it. That's a really impressive number considering we rained for 50% of the storm and the first 1"-1.5" before the change to rain was washed away.

 

Yes, Euro took back its throne, Over a 3 day period it never wavered, And was the first to latch over 5 days ago
