Same here except mixed http://

[CoastalWx]

It's snowing just off the deck here. You can see the bright banding and I have cat paws still at 36.1F. I can't see any low clouds and the ceilings have that smooth snow sky look.

Heading up to Stowe,VT tomorrow, how much of a snowpack u have up there in the lower elevations?

[mostman]

Still moderate to heavy snow in Westford. About an inch on the ground. 35F. 

[NHsleder]

snowing moderately 2.5 inches since 10:30.

[weathafella]

We had snow for a few minutes-shut off, then light rain, now nothing.

[Typhoon Tip]

it's getting pretty close by ... ptype products say its raining to the Pike or getting close!  ... Really need this secondary to trim the inflow aloft - it's going to happen but it appears a lead side race is on. 

what may end happening is this mix edge press to Rt 2 or so, then, ...collapse fast during a brief resurged appearance on rad for a couple hours before ending.  kind of thinking along those lines.  Or, the mix line halts soon prior to that fill in period... not sure.  But, was surprised actually to see virtually all of CT now over to silver -

[PineHillsWx]

Close to an inch, temp is steady at 29 degrees, no wind and mod snow.

Looks like there is a CF that runs roughly just east of Rt 3 down 495 to the south of Rt 3...it's not extremely defined, but enough to where you can see those 34-36F temps where the snow is struggling to the east vs 30-33F temps where it is ripping back to the west of the front:

Interesting to see some of the reporting stations in N. Central MA and southern NH (KORE, KEEN, KAFE) reporting "pressure falling rapidly" in their remarks.  

[OceanStWx]

We've had nice ocean effect for most of the morning, and now we're starting to transition into the meat. Euro definitely gives me some concern for tonight.

Yarmouth, Maine (Coastal Cumberland County) - just got put into a Winter Weather Advisory until 8 AM Friday; prior to that, the only other non-marine headline was a Wind Advisory. The text does describe snow to rain, then flipping back to snow.

[CoastalWx]

Yeah interesting. Mixing with snow here still under heavier echoes.

try this ...if you want an orbital headache - if you go out there and study a single spot long enough you can almost just make out an impression of giant golf balls way up there.

[ma blizzard]

only .6" so far .. seems to be in a bit of a lull over the past 10 minutes with light snow currently falling 

[CoastalWx]

50/50 mix.

Done and done! They are there.

Most of Franklin Co has been in the snow hole thus far today.  I am ready to halve our forecast totals.  

30F around 1" new.  Terrible snow growth.  Baking powder which is making the roads treacherous.  On my way home an idiot in an F-150 came about 2' away from sliding into me sideways at a red light.  

[Sugarloaf1989]

Moderate rain with a few snowflakes mixed in.

[bobbutts]

1" so far.  Temp just nudged up to 31.  Small flakes, not the most efficient at accumulating so far.

I'm 100 yards to the westward side of that line on 495. All snow here. 

[mahk_webstah]

increasing again to probably moderate

[CoastalWx]

Back to mostly rain but it's definitely not torchy aloft yet.

nah ,not based on this lead side crap...

this shread schit's to be expected... "if" and when the consolidation of a ccb head begins to take form later in the afternoon, you could easily end up in 2 or 3" per hr thing for little while

Yeah I live just west of the red line/west of 93. 31.9F  It may very well reach me for a bit

I am a hair west of that line. Big flat flakes and coming down heavy. Up to 33.9

Drove through one of those bands this morning en route to Boston - instant white-out and gridlock on the Maine Pike near York with cars off the road. I'm heading back to Scarborough in a couple hours, and am hoping that things will at least be interesting tonight even if we don't end up with much accumulation. Still thinking thunder is possible later?
