Nice, you should crack 6". 4.3" here, just catching the edge of it here. Pounds the lights up, back and forth

BOS getting crushed now. Scooter will get that stuff too

Absolutely nuking in South End

[CoastalWx]

Pounding aggies

[Bryan63]

While we're only getting heavier stuff in waves as they come through, when those bands do hit it is impressive as hell. Roads are a mess and accumulates quick.

Yeah it’s getting breezy here. Still spitting flakes with some peeks of sun, but it’s essentially ovah. Now we drop. At least the chickens got another sneaky good afternoon in the run. 

my poor ladies haven't come out of the coop since I fed em this morning, they want no part of this wind and cold

[CarverWX]

3" so far. As the bands come thru it really pounds.

[ScituateMA]

About 3 inches in scituate. Just went out and shoveled. 

Beautiful flakes 1.5"+ per hour. 

Deep winter out there. Enjoy everyone.

The difference is likely because I measured earlier after a good fluff band had rolled through

The rest of those island did not get 6+ inches. None of the East Bay will have, I certainly didn't.

I really don't get it. I thought you were into sledding or something. I would have thought being able to do that, for a month straight, due to snow cover would mean you aren't aggrieved.

My daughter is in Bristol. She says a few inches so far and still snowing.

This is the 4th Storm this winter where I got absolutely Waxed by Southern RI; which has NEVER happened before.  

It is also the 3rd Storm where I was Beaten by people South of me West of me and North of me and East of me.  That…. THAT should be Impossible once.  Let alone 3 times in a Winter.  

Welcome to the life of a snow enthusiast on the coastal plain. For anyone living on the ocean they know this feeling all too well.

 

I have had storms where it snows from Inland all the way to the ocean down in Plymouth and up in Boston but not in marshfield/scituate/cohasset. Its part of the game. You win some, you lose some. Just enjoy the fact its frigid and snowing.

@The 4 Seasons looks like 7” will do it in Brooklyn for this storm. 16.0 for the last storm

Probably got another 1/4-1/2” since I write that.  Still dumping at the market basket

[wxsniss]

I’m in Brookline just west of city, finally heavy snow gotta be 1-2”/hr at least

Hoping we can benefit from the N-S orientation of this band whipping through city

Yeah.  My daughter says it’s coming down good still in. Bristol.  She didn’t go out and measure.  Did the ole’ window guesstimate at a “few inches”

[HimoorWx]

Finally dumping in Randolph. About 2 inches now and piling up quickly. Visibility probably down under 200 yards. 

[Baroclinic Zone]

Been dumping here. 

[CoastalWx]

This is nuts.

[SouthCoastMA]

A couple bursts here but never modeled to be anything more than an inch

5.25 here. I meant to steal the extra .75 from Cumberland but I lost some in transit. Wind is significant on the Pell bridge. Should have accounted for wastage.

Simply amazing band. Visibility is maybe a few hundred feet. 

[ORH_wxman]

Scooter gonna get 5-6” in 90 minutes out of that. Lol

Nice band ramping back up for 495. Snowing really good back at home here

Nice Ocean enhancement with the front

[SouthCoastMA]

I drove through one of those smallish 30+dbz blobs on rt6 Cape. Near whiteout for about 5 minutes so can't imagine what the south shore looks like now. gotta be full whiteout

[CoastalWx]

This is some of the heaviest I’ve ever seen. Just absolutely choking flakes. My God.

2/15/15 look on the radar there. Kind of convective like that system.
