2” hmmm

Lotta ground showing there for 2"....

[dryslot]

Looks like 3” or so at the house.

[CoastalWx]

CF is on Cape Ann to just NW of me. 

[Damage In Tolland]

Over to plain rain at 32. Waving the white flag . Hopes came up earlier . Down and out now Enjoy the snow and ice guys . Post lots of pics 

[LSC97wxnut]

A mix of sleet and rain.

33.6*

[tavwtby]

27/26...just hit 3" and pounding, about 1/4 mi vis, hopefully stay on the white side of things, hate clearing slop but it's a nice fluff right now 

[CoastalWx]

SE winds and 41 now. CF slowly creeping NW.

[WinterWolf]

Was just out to grab a sandwich for lunch…had to put truck into 4 auto…slippery for sure with slush covered roads here. Snow/skeet /freezing rain mix…temp in truck said 29, and didn’t budge. And That’s usually a degree or two warm more often than not. Cold is hanging tough. Wintry appeal for sure.

Called this yesterday . Congrats man

Getting a good glaze going right now...temp at 29F. Some sleet mixed in. Would be nice to latently cool that little warm layer around 900-925 enough to pound some aggregates for a bit...I noticed some of the CC on radar trying to wash out on the northern side.... but not getting hopes up. Best bet here is the Kraft ending tonight....

Crossed the 2" mark here in Charlotte 10 minutes ago.  25ºF.

 

Edit to add, seeing that pic reminded me to sync the time on that camera.  D'oh!

It’s too bad you slotted while cold enough. I was banking on that for your 1-2. 

[Henry's Weather]

Flakes are surprisingly healthy in Concord

Well Let’s see what transpires later though?  One of the rare times where your elevation is hurting you perhaps.  Definitely playing out colder so far than was modeled.

ASH 25F coating, nothing now, just a 6-Alarm fire going in the city...

Taking forever to accumulate. When does the heavy stuff move in?

If we can keep that CF pinned further SE I think it will help with that. Although need to wash out the fugly layer from 850-950

It’s longitude. But it’s all coming NW slowly. 

[HoarfrostHubb]

This was on our way out. Prob an inch or snow then.

For whatever reason this area just furnaces in these setups. I’ve seen it so many times I knew exactly what was gonna happen. The valley will never hit freezing and will get an icestorm and west of there will be all snow . Meanwhile I get 32-33 rain. And then the wrap around will hit areas just NE and east tonight

29/27 with steady -SN in Salem NH. 0.7" accumulation so far.
