Agree.  But you can’t really delete it since it’s kind of a legacy site right?  Official records going pretty far back

Just shows how rare storms with ideal snow growth across the region are.

I like seeing those echoes expanding over dendrite land.

Some districts even out this way are cancelled.  To be fair. The roads are a mess.  Huge piles of snow at intersections too.

Springfield DPW reported 18" on Facebook.  My mother says looks close to 18" near the Longmeadow line.  

Ok...Im right on the Springfield/Longmeadow line, the kid measured 14 out in the open in an unplowed section of road. There was three already otg before the storm started on many grassy  surfaces...just seems a little high but Springfield is huge. We also had terrible snowgrowth and there's some serious meat in this arctic sand so I have no doubt believing we got 1.4 inches qpf.

[Lava Rock]

Not sure about there but the stuff we got here will not pack well if at all.  It's about as dry a snow as I've seen.  We've gotten about another 3" since I finished snowblowing around 9:30 and it is almost like every single flake is adding the most it possibly can to the accumulation total.

Practically zero moisture. Probably wont groom real well. Id like to ride local this wknd but not sure how well trails will be.

that's nothing, a guy I work with just said on his property in wilbraham @900', was 36"...i legit laughed, I said a drift maybe, or total snow otg, but nobody in that area got over 20" as far as I saw anyway.

yea a lot of reports are several hours old, you can hover each one and see the reporting time and source. 

[The 4 Seasons]

I made a thread specifically for everyone to submit their final storm totals for this event w/ all the resources to find reports for the northeast. I'll also post the maps their when finished.

Snow picking up here, just like HRRR showed.

[Dalfy]

Big aggregated dendrites, moderate snow in lebanon. As usual, the radar is not picking this up lol.

I must have missed it, How did you do down there on the overnight for accumulations?

Just hit 20 with the snow today, hoping to add a couple more.

I think it will take a pass, sleds, and another pass but by the weekend with the cold temps I think this should pack in alright. Smaller drags behind snowmobiles will struggle but with our 8x16 it will process and heat up some hopefully. Real thin spots before the snow aren't going to be stellar that's for sure.

The snow growth is amazing right now. I’m pretty sure by now. I’m at least at 13 inches maybe more than 14. I’m going to be very interested in what Brian’s ratio from today’s snow shows.

I'm at 15.5" but that stuff over Lake's Region in NH is making its way into our area.

Beautiful scene today
