How is your snow growth.  It is pouring baking powder here right now.  If growth was better I can see why NWS had such high totals.

I think it's still good for 14 - 18" from you to MPM. 

10-11" ' here so far.  Need a few more hours of +SN

Wind is blasting it to bits.  I have gotten 1.5" per hour for a few hours and it looks similar.

This is why many would still prefer the benchmark storm or just inside for a  track here in SNE.  These huggers tend to thump and slot after the WCB rips through if you are too close to the center. Should have been more leary of model qpf output. Maybe convective feedback? Deform action looks beautiful in Upstate/ CNY. I would take huge dendrites ripping with a light wind in deform heaven over this type of scenario today. I never usually materialize huge wind gusts or lose power here in the valley anyways.

Wonder if it's your height? Getting nothing but sleet and a few flakes up here in Allston. 

You'll see it shortly I think.   I don't think elevation has anything to do with it since the sleet is from a much higher warm layer,
