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

We just had a flake too!  1150am!

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

Enjoy it! I've missed this the past four years or so.

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

We’ll see how long this lasts

Can’t submit any pictures it won’t let me but have multiple of cars buried

if  you have an iphone, start a post in here and go to "add file"  It will prompt you with an option to take a photo or video. choose video and zoom it a little and make it less than 10 seconds.

I’m in awe of the dumpage feet on feet

[Roger Smith]

Tracking center by obs at 44008 (54SE Nantucket) low appears to have passed about 50 miles southeast of that location, in past hour, as pressure has levelled off at 972 mbs and wind backed to NNE (not very strong as it's close to the core). Would therefore estimate center in low 968 at around 40.0N 68.7W and headed for landfall in eastern Nova Scotia late today.

There is a 24.6 from trained spotter from 9am.

almost 3hrs of same band.

theyre likely over 30”

I see a 24.6 here, but it's not one of the ones listed as a trained spotter in the "provider" column: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=BOX&product=PNS&issuedby=BOX

It's been snowing 2-4" per hour in Taunton for 12 hours with the band still overhead - that's all timer potential , will see what the final numbers show

[Masswx]

Wish I was 10 miles se they are doing great! But I will take what I’m getting !

Got caught in the subby zone, but still an incredible storm 

Yup…impressive storm, but it could have been even better for us. Oh well…you win some, you lose some. 

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Sim radar has this band pivoting around and west of Boston and slowerly tapering off. Boston points south could still be snowing at 8pm

I put in a 2 sec video and a picture and it said files was too big

Might snow through 8-9 pm, at lesser intensity of course 

[FRWEATHA]

I would think there’s at least 2 feet here. But in some places I can see bare ground and in other places 4 foot drifts so who knows. I don’t know how Cumberland, RI has so little.

Tell your dad to take off parental controls.  We love pics (of buried cars, before that gets edited out of context).

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.  

This guy has a message for you...

40” Charlestown! 

A good friend of mine sent me a few pictures from Green Hill. He said 27 but I think he's low but if he has a depth near 30 inches that truly is sick! Despite wind fractured flakes,settling and just compacting under its own weight that's really astonishing.

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"

It’s hard to have any idea with windows snow caked but it looks like around 15” so far.  I went to bed as it was ramping up and got up to pee around 7:30.  Was amazed but went back to sleep for a couple of hours.  The heaviest band appears to be sinking SE but nevertheless we should get another 4-6 I think.

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

Unless things improve greatly this afternoon BOX, every local TV met and anyone else who called for 18-24+ is in line for a MAJOR BUSTORAMA!!

Somewhere in the 8-inch range here, no way to measure accurately. Not the huge totals like down south but a great storm anyway.

Nothing near that here........visbility about 1 miles across the water.  I think if there's nothing to blow into the air (like over the water), the visibility would a a constant.....but maybe i'm wrong.

We were under 1/2 vis for about 90 minutes.
