I have no idea how much snow we've gotten.  I have drifts on the north side of the house that are about 2' deep.  I've shoveled the back deck a half dozen times and every time I go out there's another 6" that's blown off the roof.  Clean up is going to be a bear, my driveway is 200 yards long through heavy woods and it looks drifted for the entire length.

2-3” of sand here. Horrible snow growth. Alb NWS mentioned 15-20:1. Looks like about 7-8:1. Steady light snow all day. Visibility was 1/4 mile for a while but it seemed like it was more from blowing snow and wind. Meh. Hoping for HVMV convergence to save the day this evening.

Just did a core of 3.8" with .43" liquid. So yea 8-9:1 verified here. Just horrendous snow growth all day. Even Woodford VT only had 3.5" a few hours ago and Landgrove VT at 1800ft near me only 2" at 12pm. 

8:1 with temps in the mid teens just proves the fact(that most know in here) that cold temps does not equal ratios. I didn't look, but I know PF was mentioning a day or so ago about some big time issues in the DGZ that pointed to these types of ratios out the far western areas. No Kuchie ratios here.

I'm surprised surge wasn't talked about here. I know everyone was preoccupied with the snow but this seemed primed for Boston Harbour. I fear that's what Halifax's waterfront is going to look like. Winds gusting to 72mph at the airport and that's well inland.

I mentioned it 3 times but nobody cares about surge Boomer

Over a foot. 12"+ here on the deck. but very windy.  Depths from drifting range from a low point of 12" to as high as 20".  I'm dead serious here.  I have no choice but to call it over a foot (12"+)  How do you measure such powdery snow.  Little wind goes a long way.  Don't know what I'll personally end up with but looking at the radar and future cast, I think mid tees in inches may not be out of the question.

There is no chance that we don't have a foot or more in Andover at this point, and it's blowing and snowing as hard right now as it has all day.  I go out with the dog every hour, and make deep impressions in the snow to clear a path for him (he's a little guy) and every hour, it's filled back in.  Some of that is drifting, but it's dumping out there.  Plow came for the driveway a couple hours ago, and we were at 8-10 inches at that point, and we've had at least 4 since then.
