Looks like my skylight flashing is about to disappear, so must be around 5-6" or so.

I think we're around 3.5ish

Can confirm. Heaviest yet. Incredible snow growth with this. Eyeballing 3”

Really deep DGZ down there right now. That should translate northward through the afternoon and evening.

[FlashFreeze]

6° and moderate to occasionally heavy snow, NE wind has picked up considerably in the last hour, 2.75” since 8am

[tiger_deF]

8 degrees and still snowing lightly in Arlington, ready for the band pushing north. Should be here in a half an hour or so. We have 0.5" on the ground

First inch on the board, 7F

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Transitioning to heavy snow now in Greenfield. Looks like some pretty killer bands coming up from the south too. 

[vortex95]

CoastalWx is about to say "WE (SN) PLUS!"
 

[DomNH]

Starting to mix in some dendrites now as the better lift moves in.

I-91 just N of Northampton:

 

[ORH_wxman]

Absolute poundage in this band. This is perfect snow growth and not much wind. Prob over 20 to 1 when you are in a band like this. 

[lurker]

Cory after every ob from RI:

[Fozz]

Heavy snow. In the middle of the first of many intense bands.

sooooo close now to here... Euro increased a bit more but doesn't matter at this point

 

[vortex95]

BOS at 9 F when the snow first starts for a MONSTA snowstorm is an exceptionally cold temp for this location.  And -30 F in NNE the day of the start as well.  Usually, that means "cold 'n dry, kiss'em goodbye!" w/ DC getting buried instead.  This was the case for PD1 in 1979.

Those bands that came thru CT look like they’ve amped up even more heading towards Boston

[dan11295]

0.7"/0.4" last hour. Only got into the good band in the last 10 minutes

Flake size increasing markedly in Boston as bands approach from both east and west 

Yea, that band coming through Boston now produced large dendrites in Wrentham. Enjoy it!

I think some of that is the lower beam height as it approaches the radar

I cannot recall an event like this where every model kept increasing qpf leading up to and during the storm. This is surreal

Pounding

[bristolri_wx]

Alternating between moderate and heavy snow here.  Couple of inches down by eye.  Up to 17.  Hoping to avoid the sleet after 8PM as much as possible, looks like I'm right on the battleground area/line.  Voting for the HRRR today. 

[ineedsnow]

band getting close flakes getting bigger

[tiger_deF]

What are we drinking? I'm incredibly partial to Sam Adam's Winter Ale - got a six pack and have cracked the first pregame beer

With any luck most of the big stuff will have fallen by then. The way this is going it's like the timeline got bumped up a bit.

[LSC97wxnut]

Temp has dropped to 9* as that band approches.

[weatherwiz]

Probably going to take first measurement around 1. Can't wait for it to rip even more. Any thunder reports yet?
