On that map, I'm mid-way on a line between Acushnet and Wareham.......if that's snow, I'll say FTW.

Yep. I’ve been down to Mattapoisett. Beautiful part of the south coast.

Dumping at Killington. This initial batch got a bit farther north than modeled

Really nice band down in SE areas. PYM county over to upper cape.

Performance.  (electric) guitar.  He's a metalhead.  Everything he plays and writes is very heavy.  He loves it there, surrounded by his people.  We'll see what happens.  Tabor is beautiful.  I went to Moses Brown in PVD from 6th grade thru HS and we played against Tabor in a few different sports.  Very fancy.

Steady snow continues.  Grass getting covered.  Brutal cut off just south of S. Wey......yikes

Cool.  Moses Brown is a great school.  Much nicer area of PVD than our apartment.    I got to know their college counseling team from many years ago through my work.

It was because of Tabor (or "Boat School" as my daughter calls it) that we discovered the town we just bought our new pit (Mattapoisett).

Steady snow 30F and a decent coating

Surprised to see the snow starting to break out this far up. I don’t think that was in any forecast, but it hasn’t started here yet though it looks like it’s going too soon. I wonder if what we get is just a broader area of 2 to 4 inches and then some areas get six or eight maybe

[amarshall]

Wow surprise coating thought this was a tonight deal

Will---are you getting that radar rendering from your phone or from their regular site?  I've been trying on my laptop go get that version......and I'm not able to locate it.  Can you post the link to it or what settings you're using?

 

Thanks!

This snow was actually shown on a decent amount of guidance. But it’s not expected to be much. If you grab anything more than an inch or so, consider it pure gravy. 
 

Someone down in SE MA might get a lucky few inches from that band before the main show later. 

[Fozz]

BOX’s latest map (issued 20 mins ago) has the jackpot (6”+) squarely around Attleboro but really most spots between PVD and BOS.

[SouthCoastMA]

Snowing but 33° so melting on non grassy surfaces

[Kitz Craver]

Still going nicely, I’m riding the gravy train

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Nice appetizer to whiten things up before the main show this evening

We'll be heading down there within the hour, so you know I'll be sharing an update.

Given modeled, qpf, they must be thinking crappy ratios/rain mix for southeast areas.

This morning has been lovely, was not really expecting anything until later today.

This actually was well modeled and one of main reasons I went 4-8” if it snows like this thru noon it’s 1-3 for many

Cool.  Is he performance or industry?  What instrument does he play?

We had also sent our daughter to Tabor for high school, so we've had 8 consecutive years.  At the pre-graduation parent dinner at Tabor, I told my wife "enjoy that shrimp--it cost us $250k".   

My wife’s uncle (RIP) was an art teacher and hockey coach at Tabor for decades.  Great school.

And speaking of Rise of the Machines...this was on the NYC forum...(where our police officer friend just posted a day 7 Icon map):
