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

Yeah the drifting makes it tough. I tried measuring in different spots, got 15, 17, 11, 12, and 13 inches.

Downer post aside, we’re so back.

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

still snow here. maybe an occasional pellet

[tiger_deF]

Snow has been coming down hard for the past 6 hours. Hard to tell with the drifting but in Arlington MA I'd say we have 15-17" so far. If the storm continues to print in the remaining 4-5 hours of heavier snow, and if Monday pans out, wouldn't be surprised to see 24-30"

Very similar to what I have.  7" and 7.5" were my two measurements with a 14" depth at 8:30. Been full on sleet since 9pm.

[weatherwiz]

Definitely drifting going on out there. Anywhere from about 12-12.5" 

Went 10-15" so well within that range. Maybe even tack on another inch or two. Headed to bed...curious to see what it compacts down to when I check around 5:30

[Baroclinic Zone]

It just won’t let up here. Gotta be 16”+ just looking at the vehicles outside.

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

16-17”. Continues to pound

[Thunderblizzard]

Coming down pretty hard on the back edge of the main show. And still only 12 degrees out.

[FlashFreeze]

9° and heavy snow with almost whiteout conditions at times. NE wind stronger than it’s been all day. 15 to 16 inches of snow so far.

[HoarfrostHubb]

14” total so far in Hubbardston MA.  9F.  Continued cold but slowly creeping up

 

[WxWatcher007]

Just crazy. Still ripping at WXW1. 11 degrees. Probably at least 15 judging by the yardstick. Biggest event since moving back to CT.

Some snowfall totals across the state so far. Reports are ending at 8PM and some are a few hours old. Just to give you an idea at a glance...

 

18" Simsbury. I'm going to bed. Snowing hard af. 

[EastonSN+]

14.3 Easton CT.

Largest snowfall since moving here from Norwalk in 2014. Beats Feb 2021 which was 14.

[Damage In Tolland]

16.5” and about sleepy time. Another few tonight and another few tomorrow.

00z HRRR has another 8-12” in eastern ma past 7pm. We definitely could hit 20 here

Wow. Everyone literally said this to you? Shocking. 

[GuitarFreak]

Here's a timelapse I shot from the storm start til about 8:30pm. 

I'm still shooting and have another camera going as well. I'll post those tomorrow.

[ROOSTA]

3 Foot amounts?

No more ipas tuck me in 

[HoarfrostHubb]

That HRRR has a tasty look.   There will be a dry slot.  But then it gets going again

[FRWEATHA]

Patriots vs. Seahawks in Superbowl. Just like in February 1, 2015. And we know what followed.

[Boston Bulldog]

Higher end totals in EMass will depend on how efficient the ocean enhanced stuff is once this WAA period ends in a couple hours. Given how persistent the fetch has been over the Boston area, I’d say it should produce just fine. I’ve always been a sucker for a good easterly firehose, Mar 2013 remains my all time favorite storm 

[Go Kart Mozart]

I shoveled 4, 6, 3 and 2.  Very unofficial 15".  Sleet held off to the very end when it was meaningless.

[jculligan]

1.1" last hour for a storm total of 13.0" so far.

[Baroclinic Zone]

This snow is blowing all around now. Drifting.

looks like a few hours left of this and we’re on to tomorrows snows.

[tavwtby]

I've got to say before I sign off until the morning, I'm at least 18" here and it's absolutely ripping snow, some of the best of the storm, every time I go out to have a smoke I shovel another inch or more on the same path, and it's dumping, looks like back edge approach tho, maybe some light stuff tomorrow but this has been one of the biggest storms since I've moved here, and depending on how much more piles on maybe top 5 total wise...wow, and 95% fell under 10°, quite impressive.

[bristolri_wx]

14" here in Bristol after measuring a few spots.  A mix of snow and sleet.  27.  Windy and snow is blowing and drifting.  Nicest storm here in a while.  Did a first pass with the snow blower but will need to do a round 2 tomorrow.
