No need to wait, just watch there traffic cams.  Some are snow coated but others are great.

A couple of the South County ones are quite good-  State Line and Exit 14B in particular

How reliable are these? I'm near Pawtuxet Village (Cranston) and not sure we're in that 23.5" territory.

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

Thing has been parked, it’s not gonna move. Rot city

[DomNH]

And down to flurries. Congrats western Hillsborough.

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

Solid moderate snow.

As of 7 am Bridgeport was reporting 16 inches and Norwalk 14.

A true blizzard by all accounts here on the south shore. Can’t even walk without getting plastered with snow and wind. Pretty sure I heard a few trees come down in our neighborhood when I was shoveling. I think we’re at 16” now and those bands are still dumping!

[NeonPeon]

Just went out.

 

[ma blizzard]

subsidence city the past 2 hours .. hopefully can get into a decent band before this pulls away

Looks like Ray’s worst nightmare.

[Pennfisherman]

Even with relatively bad radar returns, its been heavy snow for hours here. 8" so far and coming down hard. I could only imagine what's going on down in RI.

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

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. 

Wow only a few miles south of me you have 11!!! Good for you man

[Sey-Mour Snow]

Woahh seeing twitter reports of 6" last hour around Providence 26-27" depth , Charlestown RI 6" last hour 35" new snow depth .. this was 10am! They may be at 40" now

Try the raindrop app. Seems to be fairly accurate.

[Damage In Tolland]

Ok back to moderate snow now with some big gusts. Still waiting to see what W CT up to N/ C MA band does as it  reorients

Its been snowing steady here but the intensities aren't anything great, I'm not even sure its efficiently accumulating, however, the wind makes it impossible to really know. 

[Ginx snewx]

26 in RI and still heavy

[FlashFreeze]

The trip from Hartland to Stratford down Route 8 was easy, no one is on the road, there is about 15” at the Statford Coast Guard station

Have about 2 feet here. Not quite the beatdown that parts of southern New England got, but close enough. 

[Bryan63]

What's the timing looking like for the wind? Every gust that comes through gives me more grey hairs.

[weatherwiz]

If these two bands converge across RI/SE MA someone for sure will get 35-40"

Still mod snow in Mason.

They might be already based on social media reports
