Went to bed about 10:30, and at that time it was close to 18”.  Don’t know exactly what the total is, but I’ll measure when I get out there.  Radar looks pretty empty…so not expecting anything more, unless it fills in? 

It'll fill in today. Should tack on a couple more if this regeneration is robust enough.

Just so widespread in terms of 12"+ except maybe extreme NNE ?

It appears the western ME mountains are cleaning up.

Not sure how much felt last night, but I think there was a band that was pretty intense for a little while although that might’ve been a little south of me  towards Concord.  Going to be hard to measure but just walking around this morning in the dark I would guess 11 or 12 inches was more blowing and drifting than I expected.
 

Still light snow falling pretty steadily but no radar returns

I'm glad you can measure.....it's impossible here.

The wind has been marginal here so far, Generally, 5-10mph wit an occasional G20

Just such a massive area, well into NY/NJ/PA. Imagine if we could get one or two of these every winter  

[Chrisrotary12]

Based on reports here and on NWS reports, if you were north of rte 2 and away from coastal front this storm underwhelmed. Oh well. On to next weekend’s disappointment .

Ohh ok. Usually these back end ideas don’t happen here..fraud 5 type of thing.  That would be cool if it did.

Dendrite nailed this. It was at least up here about the ratios, not the QPF. He had the caution flags about ratios all along and he was right. If this was 15 to 1, we could add 15% to all the totals or maybe 20%.

[Sey-Mour Snow]

The snow last night didn't materialize into much more than flurries, although it flurried all night. .3" overnight for a total of 16.0" in 24 hours . Cleared twice yesterday 

[mahk_webstah]

On the other hand, maybe the ratio is benefit us today. There is light snow falling here with no radar returns at all, even very light ones. That could be a sign that when we get some lift, we accumulate very efficiently. I’m guessing the light snow now is from easterly flow?

[Kitz Craver]

Bout 17.5” in Meriden. What a storm… we done or do we get a reach around?

[CoastalWx]

Today doesn’t look as good as it did yesterday.

Definitely not as good.  Models have dried up as has the atmosphere.  Some stuff coming in off the ocean might give you a couple though

Yeah still some -SN. Did not expect CF already through. That came at like 3a. 16 now. High was 28.9. Not bad for screaming 080 winds at 50mph.

[wx_observer]

A bit breezy with light, yet steady flurries here.  Eyeballing around 18-20", but may be a little higher.  There's a LOT of drifting.  Glad it's supposed to get into the 20s today to clear out.  Great storm, aside from some mild frustration about inefficient growth.  

[wx2fish]

Another 2.5" since I went to bed. 17" total. 16" settled on the deck. 

[dendrite]

I don’t think I have double digits yet, but we were always QPF challenged on models. 

At least it finally went above 10°

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Today looks like dung. Headed out to clean now. Somewhere around 19-20” will be the total 

[HoarfrostHubb]

I’ll go with 18” here but super hard to measure.  Could be more. Could be less. 
 

we just don’t know

[HoarfrostHubb]

Some nice pics of drifts near Plymouth MA

[Baroclinic Zone]

17-18” here. Shit is blown all over the place.

[TheMainer]

5.5 inches in southern Piscataquis county, lower ratio stuff then forecasted so I think will pack fairly well. Still -Sn currently, maybe pick up another inch or two today, but missing the nice Lewiston to Skowhegan band to our South and just getting the fringe. 

[EastonSN+]

Measured again this morning.

14.6 Easton CT (last night was 14.3)

[CT Valley Dryslot]

I'm estimating between 18-20 right now. That pushes my snow depth to 21-25 (leftovers from last week)

[Ginx snewx]

Can see density changes as snow fell on my truck 

[jculligan]

Took my final measurement of the evening at midnight last night, and it looks like we've only had 1.0" since then for a storm total of 16.3 inches. Total depth in the yard is now 19" which is the deepest since I moved here in March 2022.

[NW_of_GYX]

13” super easy cleanup. Let’s see if we can’t grab another couple today. 

[Dalfy]

Light to moderate snow Lebanon, ~8-9'' on the ground in 3 places. Looks like near a 10:1 ratio assuming we got modeled level of precipitation - 0.8-0.9. I imagine possibly another inch or two over the course of the day to bring our total close to 10''. 

 

 

[CoastalWx]

2.5 now. 18.5

[CoastalWx]

18.6 logan
