First hour or 90 min here was pure baking powder. Had to get into the 20-25 dbz stuff before seeing good snow growth. 

I'll take powder, grains, anything at this point.

Interesting in Brookline just still mostly arctic sand

@weathafella @Henry's Weather and others in Boston metro curious what your snowgrowth has been

We probably have about 2.5-3 otg. Snow growth is inconsistent but tremendous in bands. This photo is from the first of the heavy stuff. Just near white-out conditions circa 12:45

Growth has been piss poor here so far…probably too cold in the column to start.

I've only started getting better growth in the past 5 minutes or so.

Started out well but mostly sand now up here. At least it’s coming down at a decent clip. 

[WeatherX]

8.5” new. 11f with very heavy snow. Eyes on radar looks like CC has sleet washing out as it approaches for now

There we go. That’s 2008 style right there. That’s gonna really suck too since it’s cold behind this storm. Lot of people without heat. 

[DomNH]

Growth is meh in between bands. Not surprising and I assume it will become more consistent after about 21z or so. 

[Sugarloaf1989]

Still 6F temperature staying the same.  NYC currently 15F. Temperature similar to the Blizzard of 1996. But it looks like a change to sleet. 96 was pure snow in NYC.

[tavwtby]

just passed 6" absolutely choking flakes, SN+FZFG vis is a few hundred feet at this moment.

Same here ...  it's 'almost' S+ during a couple different intervals over the last two hours, but it quickly recedes back to a pedestrian S fall rate. 

Vis est 1/2 mi ... flirting with 1/4 mi when they occurred. 

Be that as it may, just under 4" here, so as expected ...accumulation is quite efficient in this cold air.

My sister in Brooklyn said it was sleeting since around 1:30.

[Hoth]

Just savage out there right now. I can barely descry three telephone poles away. Awesome snow growth. If we can shrug off the sleet for a few more hours, we will stack.

My daughter who lives in NW MD reported a switch to zr at 11:00 after having 8" of snow.

She has a generator.

If it hasn’t gotten to you yet, it’s about too All of a sudden, larger flakes started mixing in, and within three minutes complexion of the snow changed. The earlier flakes were not sand, but very small, and now some larger and medium sized flakes mixed in and visibility dropped even more.

[UnitedWx]

7 inches in Granby and absolutely dumping.  Getting ready to hit the road and start opening driveways

[Henry's Weather]

Tiny flakes again (West Concord)

[Patfan1987]

Puking snow in Dorchester, still [emoji238][emoji238] degrees
