Blew my mind yesterday when GYX increased our forecast.

[Cyclone-68]

Our power went out for 90 minutes but it came back on a few minutes ago thank Christ 

[Brewbeer]

About 6 in here so far, 27/26.  Blowing like it rarely does here in the valley, this winter just went up a grade.

[dendrite]

Coating here…just spitting some flakes. 

[ORH_wxman]

No idea what we have trying to estimate from inside but eyeballing about 10? 

[jculligan]

3.5" Salem NH as of 7am. Mean depth in the yard back up to 19 inches. I'm guessing 1/2SM SN right now and 25/23.

[WxWatcher007]

There it is. First light.

We’ll see if the 3k NAM is right in sending us a pity death band in a couple hours.

Absolutely nuking outside

Don’t even want to know how much it’s snowing southeast where it’s even heavier

 

 

Save this radar loop it’s a thing of beauty

RI is getting annihilated. Holy crap. 3k ftw there

As you  know, I've been with you there before.  

I don't think we'll get much more than that at Pit2.  I so wish I could have stayed in  PVD for this.

It’s epic.  Only bad part is I can’t see out of my windows just caked with snow

Can confirm. Truly bonkers. 

[JDinCT]

Best guess here in Ledyard is about 18 inches so far. That's measured on my rear deck that's on the south side of the house, mostly sheltered from the wind.

[wxsniss]

Incredible blizzard conditions

Located in Brookline just outside Boston

Windows caked, can barely see a few hundred yards, must be at least 2/hr, occasional wind roar

@weathafella hope you’re loving this and don’t lose power

> 100,000 in Eastern Mass lost power and rapidly rising 

[metagraphica]

Holeeee FUK.  Getting suited up to go out and measure.

[shawnmov]

Hard to measure, but maybe 6-7" here right now.  Seems like every time the radars shows the band getting closer, it just retreats back about 5-10 miles.  So close, yet....

This is like the reverse standing wave dryslot there in March 2013. They were perpetually under 35-40dbz

 

[wilton_wx]

Is that band in ECT going to make its way west? Starting to get concerned here...

[VivaManchVegas]

Woke up to 1". According to forecast last night, should have been 3 to 4.  Can hear the wind in the tops of the pines but not really making it to ground.

[WxWatcher007]

Worst conditions of the storm ironically despite the radar. HFD also reporting under 1/4 viz. Frequent strong gusts. 

[FlashFreeze]

25° wind gusting over 50mph, heavy sideways snow at the moment, getting an exact measurement is going to be futile but it appears that at least 3 to 4 inches has fallen since the last measurement and storm total is about 1 foot, opening the door should be interesting

[codfishsnowman]

Four to perhaps five inches but half of that came in an intense burst late last night.

Its windy and stormy and all that, the only thing missing is the heavy snow. What we have is thick so I am sure we already got our .4-.5 qpf

Currently light snow blowing and drifting snow here three miles north of the CT border. Snow was practically just flurries an hour ago so I guess its gotten a bit steadier.

Congrats to those getting a real snowstorm. Those who were able to enjoy the strong WAA snows. Thing is so foooking far to the southeast. Maybe we will get some kind of miracle.

It's insanity here.  Greatful I still have power at the moment.  3K seems to have been with projecting heavy band locations - agreed.

[Mj-pvd]

RI just filling in the snow holes from years prior

[wx_observer]

Man, I hope the outage tracker website is wrong--it has almost 40% on the cape without power.
