I was told 3-4” at home. 

Yeah south shore cleaned up on those squalls. BOS kind of got shafted being a little too far north but just south of them got crushed.

Last night you seemed doubtful that 3-4” amounts would happen.   Any ideas on what bumped them up a bit?   Around here I am thinking ratios were super high.

Squalls were way more prolific than I would have thought. I’d expected maybe another half inch or something in the squalls, and instead it was like widespread 1-2” additional.
 

To be fair though, 3-4” was still definitely in the minority of reports. But there were def a few more of them than I would’ve forecasted.

The hrrr hinted at it but nonsense I think the squalls would be the main show. Thought 1-2 max near me. 
 

It  was enough to plow and looked like a solid 3” or so on the camera even after blowing around and settling.

0.75" in a couple squalls

It's possible.

I'll say February. That's when we got that Blockbuster 4-in storm last year.

Hmmm

He’s either always high or low. Crackhead measuring on a deck when it’s still snowing.
