This is incredible. 

Pretty consistent whiteout.

Don’t think I’ve seen radar like this over my house/area in any recent storm.

[ineedsnow]

despite radar not looking as good as out east it is dumping here and vis is very low

[QuietCorner]

We've gotta have a solid 10" so far here and the wind is whipping! Can't see much more than 100 feet out currently. 

[Kitz Craver]

Looks like it’s tugging east a bit 

[mahk_webstah]

No biggie but still a nice scene. With all the stone on the ground, it looks like we’re near the end of a heavy snow.

[wx2fish]

~4" so far. Well see how many more scraps we can pick up nesr the MA/NH border.

These we some of the worst conditions I’ve seen. 

I can’t recall the snow with this strong of wind over such a large area in a long time. You have the CRV stations ripping over 50.

It just comes in gusts. Not sustained yet. Power went out again but came back.

HFD putting up a 51 is insane to me.

Its still going to be good. As dendrite mentioned the east band will start stealing the show but the western band should still hold decent rates and I would not be surprised seeing some fill in a bit, especially as that western fronto also collapses some. Think coastalwx said it but that should rot basically through noon and even the newer HRRR runs are hinting at it

Deeply skeptical of HRRR but that would be good for much of CT.

The band over AFN is probably what’s reaching the ground there lol

You and me both. The wind is really ripping here now. Very low visibility. 

[ct-vt-trekker]

Still snowing hard here in Essex CT. I'm about 4 miles north of LI sound , winds aren't too bad probably 25mph or so. We just lost power. Estimated 16-18 inches of snow so far. 

[40/70 Benchmark]

About 5" is best I could gather from a few measurements. 

Jan 22ed.

Back to bed. 

[Kitz Craver]

Looks like some subsidence setting up in east HVN county

16-18”?! Nice!!!

[bristolri_wx]

Not sure what the hell is wrong with the HRRR, but it's been wrong since 10PM last night with the placement of the heaviest bands.  Total failure in terms of short term prediction of wtf is going on outside.  In this case 40-50 miles is making a huge difference.

[ScituateMA]

Absolute massacre here in scituate. Can't even see across the street and its literally snowing sideways. Actually sideways. Gusts over 65

 

Most of the town has no power. I just gave the generator a break after cranking the house to 75f.
