All the stuff in W PA is heading east and will help with back building 

I would be wary of ending the snow across western & central CT too soon.  While the rates will certainly decrease, there is ample low-level fronto & advection in the 925 and 850, even almost to the 700 level to promote more steady light / moderate snow across much of CT; while the back edge of it appears to be heading into western CT, I think it will expand and fill out; appearing to back-build.  It will certainly not be anywhere near as heavy as earlier, but I think there will be ongoing light snow continuing well after midnight.

About 16.5 here. Even if we get another 1" or 2" before it's over tonight, that'll bring that's over 18 tonight. Whatever we get tomorrow is gravy. Very curious to see what happens tomorrow.

Yeah, shows a total of 14" more for this area, subtracting 2-3 inches for the last 2 hours, leaves an additional foot from this time forward.

[DomNH]

Yes agree. We see too many times people look at the backedge and assume that’s it. New England almost always hangs back

You nailed this man. Kudos 

[Vinny Findley]

Still putting down an inch an hour. Sitting at 13.5. don't have a yard stick. There's a 12 inch buried in the snow.

[78Blizzard]

Visibility now is the lowest its been so far.

[weatherwiz]

forgot to clear my table off...got side tracked  

Oh well. Have to head to bed soon but probably do one final measurement. It's gotten pretty breezy here so snow is definitely drifting. I am actually wondering if I cleared, would I even get an accurate accumulation with the way the snow is blowing.

Oh well...it is what it is

[CoastalWx]

Snows until midnight tomorrow night here. 

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

Looks like another 3” after my last clear so we’ve hit 18” in Southburied CT.

[ScituateMA]

11 years to the day. Happy anniversary to one of the best streches of winter boston has ever seen.

Fingers crossed for a mini 2015 this year.

[powderfreak]

Enjoying the images... well documented guys.

3" up here so far, hoping for 7-12".

1 degree outside.

What a storm man. 20+ for many 

[Roger Smith]

Offshore low still deepening, Nantucket 54SE was gusting to ESE 46 knots for a while, backed off a bit last hour, temp there is low 40s. Looks to me like 10-12" more could easily fall in many parts of MA and ne CT, 5-10" more further west. I was surprised at the low ratios in early snowfall reports from airports, contrasting with very high ratios in NY and NJ early reports. Is that something to do with ocean effect atmospheric chemistry?

Really doesn’t get any better regardless of amounts. So cold, the duration, and in daylight…a special one for weenies statewide.

Yup . We will always remember this one 

[WxWatcher007]

Nobody is going to shed tears for me (nor do I expect them to) but it has been a struggle here. 2.5" as of 9:15. 

Even in the best band of the storm by far, just not producing. 

We had rates before but it was pixie dust. Now we have better flake size but it's barely snowing. Still hopeful that things can turn around tonight with this plume over me, but it's a struggle. 

[amarshall]

See people in Plymouth saying sleet. Still hard snow a few miles north .

Yeah you can kind of extrapolate where the pellet line is based on the cape and RI. Looks right through plymouth.
