Still under this firehose

Crushed. Well over 24” now.

Awesome! Sounds like amounts may surpass 05' for Attleboro. 

That's my #1 all time.

There are going to be many inaccurate measurements. Can see it already.

I measured 19.9". I stuck my ruler all the way in the ground. Does that count??

[tamarack]

Nothing here except wind, and the 2 flakes that flew by at 10:30.  Grandkids in SNJ get to play in 15"+.

I've been angry that Providence stopped measuring snow in Feb of 1996 (Of course, the snowiest winter ever), and did it hit or miss till 2001, when it was picked up again. Is that what you mean by "Cleaned up the record with Will's info"? I was on a weather website talking about snow, and they mentioned that Providence had 105 inches in 95-96. I could not figure out where they got that info. They do asterisk saying it's not the official total. Or are you talking about other snow info about Providence? 

The data exists, it just hasn't been digitized in a lot of places. So searchable records usually have missing data for that ~decade. However the "Top 10" lists usually include the missing data.

Will you make us all a promise ? Never to Debbie any snow event or doubt any outcomes ever again?

I can tell you it won't be a all timer. Yo might get relatively close but I believe it will fall short.

bumping this question again...

Was Kevin's post aboujt PVD with 30" accurate?

There is a 24.6 from trained spotter from 9am.

almost 3hrs of same band.

theyre likely over 30”

[mikes65]

I CAN’T EVEN FIND AN 11” MEASUREMENT!!  Even The Drifts aren’t 20”!!
 
I was 10 Miles TOO FAR North for that band.  
 
What a Historic Bust.  RI is talking on the news like it’s the Biggest Storm some 1978, and I have 6”-10” in the driveway.  
 
Drifts are the Best since 2015.  Horizontal Snow is Best since 2013.  Other than that; All-Time Disappointment.  EVEN when everyone thinks RI got Destroyed.  All but Far North like me and NW like Foster.  

Lol.

My friend’s dad is taking his ATV around my neighborhood street, the streets are barely plowed so he’s drifting all around on the ATV looks so fun

Tell Scooter to get you one!

[Sugarloaf1989]

High wind gusts and drifting snow   2' drift outside my door. 26F and still snowing.

yep, you got wind so lots of drifting + old snow on the ground which a lot of public will be measuring through, i guarantee it. Prob where that 40" report came from + driftage. 

[WxWatcher007]

26.5" reported in N Stonington

In 4 hours (12-16z) they increased their depth from 21" to 30".

That is dumping snow.

[NeonPeon]

I'm saying 25 inches here but good lord is that impossible to be scientific.

Looks like just south of Boston is going to get smacked with that band coming in off the ocean.

Just noticed that.....It's literally taking aim at Taunton/Raynham.

There too busy planning vacations for the 2 of them because my mom is sick of winter i say waste of money 

[nianticct]

Anyone missing the snow come on down to the shore in SE CT over 2 feet in Waterford 

[Jenkins]

Every time I think that band is going to move out, it just redevelops. Crazy.

That far south they didn't have as widespread 20"+ amounts as were found around Boston area and the North Shore 3 weeks ago.

[Masswx]

Awe man I just missed the band

Similar conditions here. Just on the fringe of an all-timer, but still a fantastic storm 

Always appreciate your posts, nice to have some hyperlocal validation and analysis

Wonder how @weathafella's doing

I'm hoping we're in decent position for the pivot and can also benefit from farther west fronto

3k NAM keeps us in decent rates noon through 7pm, hopefully at least another 6-8"
