I think most of Maine does well, maybe 3-4 where I am and the coast north of Portland up to 8 inches.

Rap increased QPF a lot on 21z run compared to previous several runs. Mostly due to the convective stuff performing better.

Is timing on the stuff like 9-12?

Seems like we're battling quite a bit of virga in Leb, humidity is at 50%. Flurries to very light snow despite ~25 dbz. 

 

[Roger Smith]

The low pulled in some quite mild air that will now be forced up and over as the support vanishes. It was up to near 50F in w PA and parts of w NY. I think 2 to 4 inches may be fairly widespread except in s.w. CT where 0.5 to 1.0 inch would be my call. Local 4 to 6 inch bands in VT, NH and ME still seem possible.

Just to put some background on the cancellation issue.  Almost always, once an advisory or a warning is put into effect, most districts will cancel evening activities.  Secondly, the decisions have to be made early in the afternoon; often by 1 pm.  They don't have the luxury of waiting until 4 or 5 pm to see how the precipitation shield is trending.  If there is even a 50/50 shot roads could develop a light coating prior to the end of the evening period, also including the time it takes for any visiting team buses to get back to their district, it's always going to be a cancellation.  As it looks right now, it might have worked out, but they always will err on the side of safety, especially in the Litchfield County hilly districts.  Just the nature of what the thinking is these days.

At Wachusett.  Picked up a quick 0.25” or so.  

[ORH_wxman]

Actually ripping here pretty good right now. Very good snow growth. Everything coated. This little band won’t last long though.

I can understand the cancellation for the kids practice or games, but they cancelled my league game, grown men, and we play at the Y open court, everyone was barking at the guy who runs the league... but yeah I get it, my son's practice was also cancelled tonight because of the WWA well ahead of time.

Snowing pretty good in this first line.
