We did it!   25.4F  Visibility 6 miles.  -SN  

Regarding the snowfall amounts.  I think they are going to be all over the place with the amount of wind.

Just announced that the Mayor of Fall River has called in all plows because too many were getting stuck.

I feel you dude. I’m not nearly as invested as you or as I used to be but still this fucking blows. I’d give my left nut for spring at this point. 

I’m disappointed and hoping to break double digits but come on, I’m not ready for spring.

Hardly even snowing here lol. What a bust when I was forecasted for up to 2' lol. 

I think that band that hit here just missed you.. sucks

23F/23 Light to Moderate snow now, after a half hour hiatus. Seems to be getting heavier as I write this.. Lots of blowing. Went out to the birdfeeders to shake off the snow. Snow was up to the top of my boots yesterday and is mid thigh out there now. Possibly a foot new, maybe even 14"; it's hard to tell with the blowing and drifting. I'll put up some pictures later. Most of the windows are plastered from earlier in the storm when it was wetter. Extremely dense snow.

Snow is picking back up and radar is improving. As the death band in RI and SE MA weakens, we might stand a chance further up here.

[MuddyWx]

About 10" on the far NW side of the banding. All of the fun is SE, enjoy it

If you choose the Central Ave link, you can watch someone trying to dig their car out of the snow at the bottom of an exit ramp.

It’s good you’re not ready for spring because New England springs are brutal.  Nice weather the 2nd half of May if you’re lucky.

You’re like 25 miles from a raging blizzard.  Wild. 

That happened in 78, I woke up about 7 and it was partly cloudy with the sun poking through, half an hour later a heavy band came through, and it lasted the rest of the day.,

[butterfish55]

This band has not moved all day. Just got reinforced from my NE. Still white out conditions with strong gusts. We'll be in the 30s, if not there already

Pretty uneventful couple of hours here in Salem NH sitting between the mid-level fronto band to our west, and the CCB to the east. This is really just a guess, but I'm reporting an event total of 6.0" so far in Salem NH. Snow depth at the stake is up to 22 inches.

Yeah I’ve heard that springs are miserable up here with backdoor cold fronts and 45 + drizzle being common.

Come April I’ll be ready for 70s.

Yesterday I shoveled 2 locations on the side of my home that faces to the ssw. The side of the home is less prone to drifting....and considering the conditions the measurements are the best I could do..

Wait till the “ general public” gets word of more snow Wednesday and Friday . People aren’t even aware lol

[ORH_wxman]

Seems to be congealing into a moderate to borderline heavy snow over E MA as the uber intense stuff is sinking a touch SE…but the subsidence zones are disappearing NW of 495

No doubt!!! I've been just in and out of it most of the day. I can't imagine the totals you guys are getting. Plymouth just cancelled school tomorrow which was a given.

This is New England. They’ve been spoiled and softened by the last 4-5 lame winters.

I would say about 12" cleaned out at 7am and we had 5" tough to measure with temps at 21 and a lot of drifting/blowing snow.

I’m into some moderate stuff now after a couple hours of flurries. Let’s see if it sticks around for a few hours.

I'm 51 and I've never seen anything like this. It's just relentless.  I'm good if it shuts off now
