6 new pound me town in waves. Wind slacks snow slacks then big gust then big snows. Snow blower did 3/4 drive way then "you picked a fine time to leave me Lucille " Too dark and cold to figure it out. Save for first light. 

Beautiful radar 

Nice, you'll be over a foot

Which model was best? Or any?

Come to Big Papa 

[HIPPYVALLEY]

The minute to minute snow growth change is amazing.  Goes from Arctic sand to medium size pounding dendies and then back to sand again.  
I need to sleep soon.  Lol. 
Stormy out, wouldn’t want to be out driving.

8 inches. Not as heavy as early but still coming down at a good clip. Should be a lock for 12 plus.

Thinking 18 ratios have come up first 3 was cake.

Still light snow at best just outside Boston, barely a coating... ground truth has not matched radar so far

Philly thread is a great read... the H7 / H85 fronto off of Delaware is amazing

4z HRRR cut back even more here

Man just look at IR and the cloud tops cooling to our SE and rotate into the state. Impressive stuff.

This was tonights 00z rgem from 8pm onward snowfall lol. To your question, not sure yet gotta see what happens through the night.

[JJBASHB]

Getting some better snow growth/rates.  Radar looks pretty good too.  Some melting going on as only half the road has a coating.  Moon angle is strong this time of year.

I’m thinking I shouldn’t have come.  But here I am hoping for the best.  If it’s not an all timer it’s not worth the wear and tear on the body and bank account.

Total dud so far. Cannot shake the dry air and it appears to be continuing to eat upstream echos 

[OrangeCTWX]

Some good stuff forming south of Nantucket

Gives hope we can at least salvage 12-20 BOS-PVD and southeast

[metagraphica]

Had a lull down to just light snow for a couple hours but really picking back in the past 30 minutes.  Great snow growth and drier than earlier. 

7.8"  Board cleared. Measure again around 7am.
