Radar wasn't even great over us when it happened.. I went out thinking a gutter broke and water was pouring on the side of the house lol nope just a crap ton of sleet hitting the house  I was out a couple minutes before that it was warmer and calm.. then hell broke loose 

Earlier today we had a big chunk of ice let loose in one of our downspouts.  Those always are fun to hear.

Front is wild as it comes through your about to get it

[ineedsnow]

Light snow fat wet flakes falling

We’re doing the Christmas by Candlelight thing at Old Sturbridge Village tomorrow.  That will be fun with 50mph winds and temps in the low 20s dropping into the teens. 

[VivaManchVegas]

Well the heat wave finally hit.   Bounced to 35.1.  Maybe we get in on the back end snow flurry action here.

Pack took a brutal beating down at WXW1 but some of it held on.

Between 6" and 7" left in the pack on the flat part of the south lawn. Will try to get a SWE tomorrow at some point. Propane tank is thoroughly encased.

Wear your wool knickers.

Models have a hell of a LLJ going rulight down rt 2 into BOS. Kind of a weird weenie look with another in wrn CT. Top of the boundary layer at ORH is over 60kts.

I don’t know, it’s a weird narrow LLJ. But I think most spots still rip. But 3K NAM and HRRR have a similar look if you plot the 850 winds.

[TheMainer]

Looks like we haven't lost much pack here at all, but currently sitting stopped 10 mins from the house for a log truck rollover cleanup, hoping things will clear shortly since it's 30 mins around...33 and rain still, hoping we Dryslot or flip here soon

[Sey-Mour Snow]

Managed to keep about a third of the pack! 100% cover of about 2.5”

[ineedsnow]

Roads are a disaster already. Just went to cumberland farms and was sliding in a few spots.. driveway is pure black ice

That looks like fun up here.. winds were ripping as the front came through but pretty calm now.. black ice is a major issue now

[Damage In Tolland]

In the sun exposed spots grass is def showing especially under trees . while other areas of lawn have 2” or so . About 90% full coverage . Sheet of ice now on driveway and street 

[klw]

Fresh coating of snow on top of the ice.

[Randy4Confluence]

Black ice tonight? 38 here in Burlington with streets paved with lots of puddles. The 6 news in Boston didn't mention ice at all.

About 45 I think.

[CoastalWx]

Just some piles left of a 3.5” fluff pack. 

[klw]

mandatory bent birch photo and another pretty night shot

 

[CT Valley Snowman]

Lost some pack but held onto pretty much full cover here.  

[UnitedWx]

Didn't loose much in Westfield. Temp down to 31 and it's snowing. A dusting in the last 15 minutes
