Noon news had pics like that from harborside in PWM, also at Marginal Way where I-295 runs between it and Back Bay.  8-11:30 AM had 3/4" of tiny flakes.  Then it learned to snow, under that 30-35 dbz band, probably about 4" now and we're between bands.  Winds are moderate, temp about 20.  P'n'C upped to 12-18", from 9-15" at 7 AM.  Seems high, but verifying would be nice.

I wonder why the water is so high in Boston with the wind from due North?  I could see Cape Cod Bay for sure being high. Perhaps it is (low) pressure related?

Large pressure falls, highest tides of the year, NE fetch offshore..rising sea levels. We flood.

Just incredible out there... seems the ratios have come up as it seems the two and a half inches since clearing are very fluffy, compared to the mansnow from earlier... also still under this awesome band, as it looks to pivot through, but hasn't budged in over an hour...at 11.5" now and still puking flakes!!

Good point about the offshore fetch, the easterly flow far off shore (I note PVC is NNE) must be sloshing the water into the harbor.  Incredible that there wasn't a ripple in the water yesterday off Winthrop.
