You know where Rt. 30 and 31 meet and there's those two gas stations? I live near there.

So near Twin Hills Golf course?

Can’t believe this was modeled to be way south just a few days ago.

I mean, the models are bringing in some pretty heavy totals at go time. Maybe we can see up to 24" here around Hartford. It's already crazy out there. Shoveled about an hour ago with about 2"-2.5".  Get a quick run through the driveway with the shovel for now... Super light and powdery. 

Just measured now and we're just about 4"

Right now it appears heaviest is N of the Ma/CT line north and east

1/14/99 vibes except less ice

I remember starting as snow in that one around -4F. Hard  to believe it flipped later on. Kind of like the Tip storm from Jan ‘94. 
 

Shouldn’t have to worry about it this time.

I agree there. But they're showing 24" to 28" now around Northeast Mass. Even a couple of 30 burgers. 

I was talking about our area where the model runs have been bringing our totals up too. I'll be very happy if I get 18" .... But even happier if we can hit the 24" Mark. We'll see what happens

Approaching 1” in Belchertown. Heavy band moving in shortly

I hope this is just a weathertap radar glitch and not the BOX radar going down

This is a one of a kind storm. We haven’t seen one quite like this . Will be one we will always remember. I might even be able to recall the date

Our daughter is still supposed to work there at 3 (won’t be going…I will puke on her before I let her drive there.) Morning shift tomorrow.  Not sure how that will happen. 

[dendrite]

Scope is fine

[VivaManchVegas]

It started over an hour ago while I was out running around for last pre storm/patriot game items.  Definitely early, about 2 hours when compared to NOAA guidance.  Not sure what it means, but probably a good sign for 20 plus.  I was thinking 16 to 18 here.  5.5 degrees will help  as well. 

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Moderate snow now in Greenfield.  First inch is down, many more to come,
