Just catching up (ironically we lost power before the storm courtesy of Eversource, now back)...

Friends in Tyngsboro reported 100% snow at 11:30am

No question we are ahead of changeover schedule in many places

How accurate is dual-pol here? That seems too good to be true / maybe it pivots further northwest before it collapses eastward?

Keep in mind that bright banding melting layer is between 1500-2000ft.

No need to do that ... :)

...go to you car.  Enter said vehicle.  Observe particle impact behavior upon windows/windshield... If the 'blatting' pattern ends up in 'star' structures - your transition level is probably not that high up and you are close...  Rain drops in that phase of early transition will catch your attention as they zip by ...sort of 'glowing' a little bit but ... they may also not be falling quite at the same terminal velocity of straight liquid particulates...

 

In the past few minutes, I've had a few weak sauce versions of what you recalled with such crystalline lucidity  yesterday. A sudden roar of wind, a momentary darkening of the sky and a whipped bombardment of super wet flakes. Not of the same ilk as your changeover in '92, not by a country mile; these williwaws did not herald a permanent phase change--in fact it's back to mostly rain now--but there seemed a faint kinship with or echo of your memory in the proceedings that made me smile.

Looks like the English countryside  right there. 

Before we built our house up here we weren’t sure we were going to do it so we found this old stonemason, crusty old Yankee, who can’t even barely bend his knees but does amazing stonework. It’s basically a riding and drinking cottage now; We leave a nice bottle of whiskey in thereWe leave a nice bottle of whiskey in there
