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 

Fair enough, with the constant back and forth reaction to every run and a sick kid at home I sort of checked out over last few days. Pleasant winter morning nonetheless.

He was no different. Wavering and flayling with each IPA but some of us knew and held steady. Enjoy it.

NAM is a toaster bath here. Don't love that.

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

Mb class of 02 over here still on the east side

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Light snow has commenced in Greenfield. 28°

Radar to my West looks decent for this morning round.  I’m not really expecting a lot from the system out here, but everything is gravy after yesterday.

That's the 6z. The 12z cut back big time outside of SEMA. 

[NeonPeon]

Lovely little brief band. Big cat paws had the kids tongues out.

[weatherwiz]

Coating down so far 

[tavwtby]

about 1/4" of light snow, but watching this batch that is slowly shifting SE towards NW CT

Could be a SE MA special. The trend since last night has been to reduce the vort curl. That will limit how far west the good stuff makes it.

1.5 here in Branford. Caught the edge of that band earlier. 

[PowderBeard]

Little surprised this morning. As of Friday, we were looking at 1-3" over the weekend but got about 3-4" yesterday and now a similar forecast for today. Pack is getting deep. 

[Kitz Craver]

HRRR does look a bit more east in the first few frames

It didn’t initialize correct at all with the first batch or upstream radar

[ORH_wxman]

That band in SE MA is crushing

 

 

[Kitz Craver]

FV3 looks solid FWIW

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

12z NAM looks fine here 

[Bryan63]

PD has call into dpw to get trucks out due to accidents and road conditions. They're usually pretty on top of it in Middleboro, have to imagine this morning caught them off guard.

[Damage In Tolland]

Radar and hi res time 

[SouthCoastMA]

[Sey-Mour Snow]

Hi Res stuff has def jogged east a bit this morning, but oddly enough, that sees to have upped totals SE of Boston, in this area. Cant find much that argues for less than 4-5” here 

[LSC97wxnut]

Light snow, 33.4*

[WalpoleJoe]

Beautiful snow falling here.  Ground covered quickly, I am about 5 miles from Gilette
