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  

I'm right at the edge of the western edge of the death band, and the winds are really howling.  Maybe the strongest so far.

[mostman]

I’m officially in the middle of that dry slot now. Flurries.

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

I was in the middle of that subsidence, but at least it's trying to push west. I just think another band of subsidence will form to my northeast.

Band refusing to move from me, Brett and Bob.  

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

lol he was bitching this morning how he should have stayed in NYC and how the storm was a bust.. maybe he tried to go back and got stuck 

[CarverWX]

I highly doubt the toys are still intact...

This could be the #1 all time MRV porkjob. You just have to tip your cap to mother nature. 

[ineedsnow]

even if the snow stopped right now I would be happy.. but I'll gladly take more! 

[EastonSN+]

Snow picking up again in intensity Easton.

[Damage In Tolland]

Picking back up again currently . The whole thing seems to be filling in over that whole slot area but not as heavy as it was in western areas

I’d better not hear any complaints from him for the next 5 years this is literally his dream storm and he’s home for it

Maybe feeling sheepish about his ridiculous early morning meltdown?

[karmac]

I’m getting smoked.  24ish

If he got stuck in the snow hole, we'll never hear the end of it.

ridiculous still here 

You must be right in a deform band. Definitely lesser amounts falling to your West and East right now.
Orange, only has about 5”-6” so far. 

[mattm4242]

Very, very heavy snow and wind in Cape Ann.

Yeah that hole is starting to fill a bit. Nothing too heavy, but perhaps that band is starting to reorient our direction.

that would be hilarious though 

[CT Valley Snowman]

Mesos were showing this last night.  Western deform. southeastern firehouse, and some subsidence in between.  I had my concerns. Still a good storm here, but nothing earth shattering.  

[Nikoss427]

This has been torturous to watch, we're in the "eye" of the radar. I hope we can get a few more as it moves out.

And that's all we need. Keep piling up whatever we can with the time we have left.

I'm just a few miles from you and it has been pretty meh.   I must be outside the edge of tht good stuff.  Winds have died a bit as well

Down the road in Middleboro, this has been an unreal stretch, just relentless.

[Modfan2]

Any possibility of a 35-40” amount somewhere in SE Mass or RI? I mean that band is just rotting there…

Pfff, only a top 3 porking here.   
 

The wind and drifting is pretty impressive here though. Not used to seeing that in the Pioneer Valley. 

[ct-vt-trekker]

a town plow just came down the road pushing a 5+ foot wall of snow. It took 6 passes to clear the street. Wall of snow at the end of my driveway at least 4 feet high. Going be fun to run the snow blower through that. My front picket fence is 3 feet tall and the snow drift is a foot over that! 

Not as deep as the 30" 2013 storm where the town had to use a payloader on our road because the plow couldn't push it.

What do you consider average around here? Something like 45"-50"?

Yes....news swears its slightly over 50 at cef but I have kept records the 21 years I have lived here and I don't average 50 across those years with all the "big" winters in the 2010s. I am 3 mi from CT border. Most I measured was 71 inches 10-11, worst was kind of tied for a bunch in the very low 20s.

21 year average 43 inches, I keep thinking were due for a couple good storms or seasons to get us back towards 50.
