Snowing good now, radar looks great for this area. Pats moving on.....great night

[Sey-Mour Snow]

Congrats EMASS radar looks great 

[Boston Bulldog]

ALY radar is quite surprising. That burst of moderate to heavy over the capital district into SVT was poorly modeled

Just noticed that Weathertap has South Weymouth marked on their maps.  Are you responsible for that Scooter?

That’s not S Wey lol. ThevTDWR is just over the county line in Plymouth county.

Between now and about 1am is poundtown for eastern areas. Might get some good high ratio fluff after that but the real meat is the next 6-7 hours.

32.8 and snow starting to coat.

Really though you look at radar w/ all that yellow mesh, It should be giant dendrites S+.  But looking at 700 temps, it is only about -7 C at 700 mb over SE MA.  No -12 to -16 C for ideal DGZ!

Does not look that impressive at Foxboro.  Barely accumulating. 

[Spanks45]

Still very crappy snow growth here, despite somewhat decent radar....we should limp ourselves to an inch or 2

Snow growth def isn’t that good yet. It’s snowing easily moderate and sticking but it’s more like something slightly better than baking powder. But the best progs on soundings were more like 8pm through midnight or so over eastern areas. That’s when the lift got deeper into DGZ, so hopefully we start seeing that.

AFC championship game against a backup quarterback. Fire pit and snow. Cold beer. Tough to beat.

Isn’t that the same across the region?

Steady light snow in Greenfield now. 29° medium sized flakes.

Based on radar maybe an inch or two. Hope I’m wrong.

[CoastalWx]

Jack is far SE MA. But I’m enjoying this 

[Baroclinic Zone]

We puke. Everything snow covered. Hadn’t looked outside in a couple hours but watching the game progress I knew it was coming down.
