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

Stick looks half covered, you 18…but how do you get between your two locals so fast?

Just buried.  Man what a beast. Wind now drift city tomorrow 

My DPW guy just text he's at 24".  I'm too windy to get an truly accurate measurement, but I have drifting up to my windows and completely blocking my front entrance, I know we've gotten a big number!

[Dalfy]

Measured ~6-6.5'' in 2 places, there may be some compaction but overall this is less than I imagined it would be. Still snowing at a moderate pace, 4F. 

[powderfreak]

[sankaty]

6.5" in Rochester VT.

-1F (brrr)

Radar looks great to our west!

[DomNH]

~12.5’’ new. Rates have let up a bit. Looks like we get one more burst then maybe the stuff in W MA then the dryslot races in. 
 

Great region-wide storm but somewhat disappointing up this way if we end with like 13-14’’ tonight. Don’t think tomorrow is much more than 1-3’’. Had the rates but got killed by shitty snowgrowth.

Good call on the wind for this the other day.  Snow is really sailing out there.

you know it's deep when the cars front is under snow...

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

 

I have 16 but some of that might be from the snow blowing around.. going to be hard to measure.. we should easily be 20 plus by this time tomorrow night and wouldn't surprise me to be over 2ft... going to really depend on what we get tomorrow.. probably 3 or 4 more just tonight

[HIPPYVALLEY]

This might be as hard as it has snowed all day in Greenfield.  
Choking arctic snow.  

Roads are a mess, not a good night to break down. 

[powderfreak]

Mid-level banding may save us up here.

The lift seems to be at 700-600mb.

Dom, haven't had a chance to measure, just pulled into to the shop lot, drifting, blowing off the roof. 11F/ chill @ 4

[40/70 Benchmark]

Doesn't look like CF is getting any further inland....stalled from about Lexington-Wilmington-Groveland-Salisbury

[tavwtby]

just did a 5 measurement average for 18.2" and cleared the board and walk again, we'll see what falls between now and tomorrow morning and add em up, impressive in only about 12 hours of legit rates, maybe even less because around 9/930 is when it really started dumping, first flakes at 0645. will take a 24 hr measure at 0645 tomorrow morning. and I guess I'm solo cleaning because everyone is sick in this house but me... outstanding!

[ineedsnow]

is this reverse lake effect snow? I've never seen  a band go east to west over the great lakes

Are you just up for the weekend?  I’ve seen you post before but not from Rochester. Anyway, I just cleared 7” off my snowboard but I hadn’t cleaned up from Friday’s 2” so about 5” from this so far.

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 

I’m curious how the snowgrowth will be tomorrow… best lift looks lower than today, like 925-850 or 700

Interesting with all the discussion of 12-15:1 SLRs and good crosshair progged the initial few hours, the snowgrowth struggled…

[ORH_wxman]

Snow growth has improved considerably closer to the dryslot. Absolutely choking flakes right now 

 

[Mason]

16”- difficult to measure. Caught this on my snowshoe walk

[PowderBeard]

Over 10" down, 5" since 8pm. Should have no problem breaking that 16" Christmas Eve surprise.

This is one of the biggest snows I've seen in my life. Includes a lot of big ones In Boston. I can't wait to see what day light brings.

I think the dry slot is what produced the totals here. 

[Typhoon Tip]

One way or another, the fast atmosphere wins, and claims some hours off this thing

[tavwtby]

gotta say this is impressive, considering most of this fell with very low temps... not sure I've ever seen such a large swath of 8+"under 10°...

[CoastalWx]

16”. Near blizzard conditions 

[CoastalWx]

15 new OTG

[Ginx snewx]

They say you have to smell the taint to get the goods. Getting crushed with great snow growth and wind

New Measure

Back to moderate snow.  26.
