The one I’m thinking of was in like 2003 at my first house in town here. It was like pixie dust and just below zero . I don’t recall any biggies like this 

Prob Jan 2004 you are thinking of. We had a couple small clippers with temps near zero.

Steady light snow

Full out snowing, roads and driveway covered.

I swear ISU had an autoplot for frequency of a wx variable at a given temperature, but I can’t find it.

Ok that had to have been the year . It dropped like an inch or two and was just below zero mainly early morning

For us coasties the NAM was the quickest to turn DC to sleet and was correct. So probably more reliable than the HRRR or RAP.

moistening up in Holyoke

First wispy flakes here @ border of northern and southern Worcester County.

[Sey-Mour Snow]

1.5" here at 9:30am holding strong at 6 degrees , a lot of 3-5" reports NYC metro

For us coasties DC and Baltimore have busted low on totals due to a much quicker turnover.

Everything was earlier (start and sleet), I'm more looking at totals when it changes to sleet, still not sure what to believe yet.  I really want to see Baltimore and Philly totals before changeover than compare to EURO/NAM/HRRR etc.

Think DC had 3.4 as of 7am and has been sleet for a while. NAM was correct so far with the warm punch.

[WeatherX]

2” new, moderate snow 9f. This is deep deep winter

Impressive subby zone crossing NYC area now.  We may have a period of light sawdust.

[EastonSN+]

2 inch and hour band starting here now.

The big surprise will be the -NAO look that this thing develops late tomorrow morning as it moves inside the benchmark, slowing down and throwing CCB back from north central Jersey to throughout New England.

We will all be waking up to a storm in its 6th/7th inning.

[HoarfrostHubb]

Light flakes starting here.  9:30AM. 4F

I don't think it's that easy though.. Nam had a general 2-4" across a large area that already has 4-8" down there.. 

[ForestHillWx]

Happy for you guys up north. I’m west of MMU; 3.5” down with temp holding at 6 degrees, noticeable increase in rates over the last 10 minutes.

After years and years of being in a shed, brutally beaten in solitary confinement, it finally feels great that they granted my parole.

It’s going to be difficult to overestimate the totals around Boston. It snows most of the day tomorrow. 24” is a floor.

Look what’s behind it though. Heavy heavy

Interesting that Fredericksburg still reporting mod snow.  But you're right, this isn't good for us.

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Stray flakes have started falling.

Those numbers still seem low by you guys given the duration of this.
