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. :weep:

Don’t they have the heating elements under the field?

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.

Isn’t that the same across the region?
