This evening underachieved a bit down here, but tomorrow I will wake up and it will look like real winter outside!

AFD update from BOX

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...

Despite marginal boundary layer temperatures, bands of moderate
to heavy snow have developed across much of SE Massachusetts
and the Cape. Snowfall reports in these areas indicate that
around 1-3 inches of snow has already fallen with an additional
2-4 inches possible. Heaviest snow will continue through 06z
before gradually tapering tomorrow morning. As a result, have
opted to adjust snow totals to 4-6" with localized amounts up
to 7 inches possible.

I know it’s been tough being wrong about winter being over in the northeast since December, but keep your head up.

You’ll eventually nail it sometime in March or April.

Forecasted event totals--so subtract whatever you might have received this morning to get your round two totals.

Evening snow stroll...1" of new snow, still crappy growth, we had way better rates this morning. Snow is still pasty, trees are sagging a ton, 31.6⁰

Was thinking the same. Snow growth was way better this morning . Just pixie dust out there right now.

@qg_omegahas the easiest job on planet earth in predicting warm East coast winters and has been wrong 2 years running. After predicting record warmth last winter and being off by 5+ degrees I’d have hopped over to the basket weaving forum if I was him. At least there’s less of a chance of being wrong over there.

These became mostly automated at some point in the recent past, correct? Feel like they’ve been far too volatile / unreliable vs. the previous iteration.

3.75" so far

I don't really know   I do like that they now have these "event total" ones so you don't start adding amounts to what's already come down.
