GYX 0.5° scan is becoming a mess. That whole ENE-WSW sector.

I remember being at GYX wth Eck and Jeffafafa he showed us the tree line and  I am sure they probably grew alot since 14

Same here just west of you. Went mostly sleet for a bit, but some flakes in there now. Maybe we can erode the warm layer with a little better lift. 

I'm just happy you didn't pull like 10" to my 1.5"..that is what I was horrified of

You guys up there may grab 2 or 3 inches this evening....the CCB actually looks kind of real up there. Down here I'm hoping for a couple inches but might be too far SW.

Greenfield definitely caught the edge of the frontogenesis past two hours. I’m not used to decent snow growth in these parts.  
Definitely going to grab 5-6”

Flipped to moderate rain now.  Power flickering

Getting crushed here now.. hoping for a couple hours of this before the backend gets here

Yeah, back edge is already approaching the Berkshires, not sure that will fill in at all…

Just can't win....I manage to pull out a victory over the ocean in early December, and the mid levels pork me.  How many ways to suck a d1ck...Mother Nature intends to have me find out.

I feel your pain, but it looks like winter out there. There's nothing really wet at all. I mean, yeah, it's light freezing rain, but it's freezing to everything, and I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon. There's still more qpf on the table.  

Holding steady at 31.5F

Heavy rates at Sugarloaf.

I need 2.5" to hit my 4-8" range.

HRRR has it backfilling a bit

[HoarfrostHubb]

5.75” here with sleet mixing in.

Yeah, that’s what I thought and NWS is saying snow until at least 8 PM.

[DomNH]

Was flipping back to SN from ZR/IP mix when I was outside 10 minutes ago.

I’m surprised you’re getting sleet.
All snow here with just over 5”

29°

if you’re to far SW…Kevin is toast for sure. Those back end snows/backlash are mostly all BS, except far eastern areas it seems. 

[codfishsnowman]

Better than I expected. 2.5 or so before the flip

Light drizzle, occasional light rain.... occasionally freezing. 32

[klw]

4.1 inches as of 5pm

I could see it a bit on radar.  It’s not a majority sleet but it’s in there.  I could feel it and hear it. 

[DomNH]

HRRR tries to drop another 0.6'' of liquid here. I'm glad they're putting that POS out to pasture. 

[Baroclinic Zone]

Congrats to those cashing in on the 1st winter storm of the season. Cold rain here, mid 30s. Did have a brief period of sleet this AM from that initial lead band.

A total shut out . Just taken into the woodshed and ram rodded with fishing poles and lures . Not used to that here . 

[dryslot]

Keeping an eye on the progression of those rates in the gulf of Maine to see if they make it inland as they have been progressing north over the last hour as the SLP is moving NE.

Looks like sleet you way on radar, just rain?

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Snow growth not quite as good now as the wind kicks up a little but no sleet, moderate snow.   Elevation obviously not a factor because I’m only at a few hundred feet. Up and in for the win, I guess. 

[moneypitmike]

4.5" here at Pit2.    I'm not doing any clearing, so take it for what it's worth.

[Lava Rock]

5.5"
