Looks like a foot of snow here again. Wow.

Haven't seen you post all winter. Glad to see you posting and hope all is well.

Can finally say just light snow here now . I don’t know what to think about the rest of the day . I don’t think that band out east comes west. I guess the hope is the one to the NW pivots and sits this afternoon like some guidance shows 

Yeah, hard to imagine that MA action coming too far west at this point, but the stuff in western CT still looks solid to me. Hopefully that can migrate east later and give us a few more inches of backside fluff. 

I'm in a minimum, but as I thought it's not as bad as it could be. Did a couple mile walk around the neighborhood in the last hour or so. I'm at 11" here as of 9:15. Drifts between 18-24".

Good gusts, low viz, great storm.

Boy really got holed here the last hour . I sure hope this can fill in . I’m not used to this

Finally a steadier -SN. Let’s see if we can pull an inch.

24.1°

It is definitely picked up here, though not quite heavy. It would probably be moderate if it wasn’t blowing so hard.

If you can get to 16” that’d be awesome. The winds here now are strongest we’ve had

This consolation band has been fun.

Seeing 24” reports now outta downtown PVD

It'd be wild if they break 30".

It never happened in the city.

16 will be tough. I'm just glad I should be able to go over 12". HFD has been gusting good. Might fall just short of blizzard criteria with that 9:50am report.

Returns are going more vertical now... hoping to get into the heavies

Really bad luck there, but at least you pounded for the first half.

My sister in Plymouth, MA sent this to me. Parents live in Plymouth, as well. I should have taken PTO and hone home.

ridiculous still here 

[tavwtby]

flake size increase but not as low vis, about 1/2sm now but still piling up, wonder if that NE banding just comes down this way or starts to rotate on east as this moves away.

That showed up on some of the Mesos last night. 

[Typhoon Tip]

That weather tap rad product seems to bias "looking good"  ...

I see those in here, than go look at this, and it doesn't appeal like a west thrust.  It appeals like this negation gap is once again pulsing the situation down, and the primary max band is stuck

I keep thinking it’s gonna fill in and it doesn’t . Hope not f’d

[Hoth]

Better snow now for sure. Perhaps that WCT band trying to reorient a bit?

[Mj-pvd]

[Bryan63]

Definitely can sense the snow is getting a little drier in the last hour or so.

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  

Doesn't look like the center moved much in that interval either

I highly doubt the toys are still intact...

Looks like it’s trying to make a push to Worcester but it’s struggling.

[WxWatcher007]

Someone posted about the pressure earlier?

I think PVD has a serious shot at breaking that record from 78.

yup perfect spot this band has been parked over my area.. never ever happens 

[jculligan]

Maybe another 0.8" in the last hour for an event total of 5.8" in Salem NH. Frustrating to see that mid-level fronto band really intensifying from New Ipswich to Mont Vernon to MHT while we continue to choke on exhaust here relative to surrounding areas. But at least we're getting some scraps as opposed to a total shutout, so we continue to build a pretty impressive snowpack for this area.

[butterfish55]

Band refusing to move from me, Brett and Bob.  

Also, where is Corey???  He's going to be pushing 30" there

[DavisStraight]

Heaviest snow and winds right now up here, total whiteout.

[Ginx snewx]

20 burger white out just had  50 pius gust.
