BDR 14.5” very impressive for them I wonder if that’s top 10

Thumping big fat flakes here again. Should be able to tack on a few more inches.

1:30 PM measurement: 4.8"

4:30 PM measurement: 8.8"

Are you clearing every 3hrs?

[Snowcrazed71]

Looking like the back edge in Pennsylvania is going to be heading into Southern New England in the next hour or two. Unless the precip redevelopment and back fills to keep it going until later on tonight. Just not sure

[UnitedWx]

14.75 in Simsbury. Wind has increased quite a bit. Visibility BLOWS! it's awesome 

[Prismshine Productions]

Snow growth was poor for many, still a good storm for you. 

See that is why I went initially 8-12... The airmass causing poor growth rates

That heavy stuff coming quickly Northeast out of SW CT. Is it ripping down there ?

Yes, solid stuff here. All snow.

Yes. Better snow growth than we had earlier too. 

[bristolri_wx]

I like how that little snow just southwest of RI tracked all the way from PA, over LI...

[Damage In Tolland]

Wow!

Almost 12 here 

[40/70 Benchmark]

Wondering if CF is starting to lock into place a bit, as I've ticked back from 9.9 to 9.7...

Agree... had a couple folks send me pics to prove that it was sleet.  The pics proved it was actually NOT sleet!

Honestly, the general public doesn't know the difference between hail and sleet, so im not surprised. 

[weathafella]

I measured 9.5 around 6pm.  Lots of wind and drifting once the cf came through.

slowest tree fall in history?

5" here as of 7pm

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Still coming down at a good clip 

[Dalfy]

I was wondering if someone with more knowledge could help me understand the soundings and non-optimal snow growth we're seeing. Looking at the observed 0z Monday sounding for GYX that just came out, it looks like the most saturated parts of the column are in the DGZ, but the saturation is incomplete. I'm wondering we have the right temps here but the reason we're seeing finer powder / plates instead of large dendrites is the lack of saturation. Am I understanding this correctly?

It would have given me time to run out under it

Haven't look at all posts, so sorry if this has been already mentioned

WTH is this thing that crosses SNE around late this evening on the RRFS?  You can trace it back to WV.

Gravity wave?  Notice it flips the S to IP over CoastalWx's area.

A strong gravity wave occurred from the Mid-Atlantic ti SNE on 1/4/1994.
Here is my summary I made long ago when I worked at WSI.

A major coastal storm was in progress across the Mid-Atlantic
 states and northeastern U.S.  Elkins, West Virginia recorded
 6 inches of snow in one hour and Syracuse, New York had 5
 inches of snow in a hour for two consecutive hours.  Syracuse
 measured 18 inches for the storm.  Other big snowfall totals
 included 20 inches at Renovo, Pennsylvania and 18.5 inches at
 Tully, New York.  As the storm passed off the New Jersey coast,
 a gravity wave was induced near Allentown, Pennsylvania.  The
 barometric pressure plunged 22.4 millibars from 997.7 to 975.3
 in just 45 minutes at Allentown, and then rebounded almost as
 much in only 15 minutes.  The gravity wave propagated
 northeastward and produced similar pressure fluctuations in New
 England.  Boston, Massachusetts recorded a wind gust to 66 mph.

9.5'' new. Puking arctic sand 2''/hr.

Trees are exploding. I knew it was true!

That I didn't do. I was going to do 6 (which is now). 

[moneypitmike]

It's ripping here......wish it weren't so windy.

I can't even remember the guidelines anymore...I feel like this is the first snow event in forever where it's accumulated for something longer than 4 hours lol

[LSC97wxnut]

Obligatory back deck photo.  Maybe a foot on the table?

Still 1/2S and the temp has gone up to 25*.

[EastonSN+]

Report of Baltimore over 11 inches of snow sleet mix..

 

[wx_observer]

Walkway was shoveled less than two hours ago, and filling in again nicely.  Part new accumulation, part drifting.  Wind is picking up a bit, and the snow blowing off the roof sounds like granulated sugar.  You can even see sparkles in the pic...
