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....

Pretty similar here. That heavier band should work into here now/ It will probably be with us to about around the noon hour. Crazy out there!

[w1pf]

Holyoke is not really in it, but still snowing and blowing..

 

 

[ineedsnow]

holy shit just had a wild gust.. easily over 50

[Sey-Mour Snow]

68gust in Groton 

[WxWatcher007]

Will easily top those numbers in much of CT. Closer call here in the CTRV.

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

True Blizzard going on here right now. I went to bed at 1:00AM with about 3 inches on the ground. Has to be about 15 now and close to 3 inch an hour now. Had a brief let up. Estimating 25 to 30 sustained wind with gusts to 50. No power for the first time in the 30+ years I've been here. Estimating wind because obviously no power no weather station!

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

It won't however the band to the west will likely collapse down to us.

Eyeballing 12 to 15 in Easton CT.

I am really glad for SE CT and especially the southern half of Rhode Island. I really hope to here are some three foot totals there. That's another zone that until recently has been boned.

[ORH_wxman]

RI is epic right now 

[CoastalWx]

54kts Logan 

[ineedsnow]

no way any measurement will be accurate.. just went out and every spot is different.. even in sheltered spots your getting snow just adding up from all the blowing going on

ctrv shadow? its rocking here

It’s been snowing here for like 10 hours, just pixie dust is the problem. 
Maybe we pick up a few inches this morning, but this will be an all time shadow job here.  Forecasts were for 8”-12”  hoping to break 4”.  
I haven’t seen any reports yet from south of me in the CRV.  Wind is howling but has let up the past 15 minutes or so. Maybe we can get some better flakeage.

What is your total there so far? 

[wx_observer]

I have a traffic light .3 miles from me that isn't visible anymore.  Visibility is waaaay down...maybe approaching blizzard conditions here.

Yeah I’d say maybe 3 inches here in Sunderland right now. We kind of knew this would happen lol

[jbenedet]

Man I thought nws lost these county line defined warning areas. Southeastern Strafford county NH should be in a blizzard warning area.

Feel like this storm was taken too lightly around here.

[Baroclinic Zone]

4

must be some 3-4” rates in RI.

Feel good about it except here. But need to head back out and measure. 

[Damage In Tolland]

I’m not sure where my snow is blowing in from but it’s moderate to heavy now 

[NeonPeon]

Power flickering now....

Still concerned. I think the subsidence is getting worse
