Rhode Island is getting smoked!!  

My daughter is down in the Narragansett Pier, and based on radar returns, they've been under some heavy echoes for many, many hours, just pounding snow. I asked her how much, but she said I can't see out of any of the windows, lol. I asked if she coudl hear the wind, she said the house is shaking. It's a little one story ranch. They lost power a little over an hour ago. At least she charged her phone/laptop last night and cranked the heat up. They're most likely getting over 24" before all is done.

I've only gotten maybe 6-8" and it's looking like subsidence in my future. Lots of drifts here though, decent wind. Temp in the mid 20's but dropping to 23 now.

Looks like those rates have been in east central Rhode Island for 6-7 hours 

Yes, it's been snowing more or less as it is now for 5 hrs. I can't get out my back door. The only thing that hasnt really shown up here is the wind. There is lots of straight line wind and it's powerful but not the house shaking gusts you sometimes get. The power is on, which I find remarkable. 

I'm not complaining by the way, my white pine shed a couple limbs, but I'm fine with it not coming down.

13” here now or so (very tough to measure but it’s def close to that. Might be more but staying relatively conservative) 
 
Epic over SE MA. 
 
Im on the northwest edge of the good stuff but nothing like RI and further SE

Can confirm it's epic here. Just relentless

There are two observations in Foxboro of 19.3" (~9am) and 16" (8am). That checks out.

Not directed to you, but the Taunton/Norton/Mansfield observations (circled below) need to be updated. They must be approaching 16+" by now.

E. Providence w/a 20" observation now too. Good for them!

saw a few 24" reports from s.kingstown, New Bedford and PVD (looks like a city ob) but lots of 18-24 coming out of there.

WOW, I bet we see 30+ somewhere.

I always thought it would be interesting as a result, albeit tediously torturous as a study journey, to see if there is a predictable 'storm geometric' pattern that does this. One perhaps based upon how far a region is radially situated from the cyclone fixes.  It just more than merely seems in a-priori history that this happens.  I don't believe it can be completely caused by topographical difference, particularly considering that this ongoing band (which appears to be degenerative in pulses) actually should be up-slope assisted.  I'm inclined to think that if this storm's axis of motion were 70 mi closer, this gap would have filled more and/or repositioned elsewhere.  It would be cool to be able to suggest ( more formally) that the climatology for a storm moving passed like this one today means that this zone of relative min is likelier.

looks like that far west band I've been under is reinforcing, not sure if it'll make it here but that would be epic and push towards 18, I'm about 15/16 very hard to measure average with snow pelting my face, it's glorious!

Making another little push west with the good stuff….almost back to pure whiteout here. We had briefly gone to perhaps borderline moderate snow but now can’t see 3 houses away…just puking snow  

 

The meat of that band has to be like 4” per hour

Can it push further into Worcester or will the subsidence doom the area?
