My wife works in Andover ...right off of 93...she told me at her location there is around 1.5 inches of snow/sleet.. 

I'd love to know which part of Andover that measurement took place..

Yeah those numbers look like total BS

it's the same cocorahs station that reported 21" in the blizzard that i tossed violently away. All the surrounding totals were far less. So that seems like its possibly a slanter/over measurer. Of course thats the highest report so far in that area. So i woulnd't trust it personally...

....only way 4 is an accurate measurement for andover is if  it includes spillage from a kilo of coke..

i can see being a few tenths off or a few inches during the blizzard but how they came up with 21 when surrounding areas had like 10-15 still baffles me. 

Also in this event, if there was say 1.5-2, how do you even get close to 4?

I have someone like that in my town that'll report nearly 1.5X to double me sometimes.

Naah, it was mostly pingers. That's 90% crack.

Perhaps someone who still thinks the US converted to metric system??...4cm is more accurate lol

yea i wont be using that station, i knew after the blizzard it was terrible. 

Most of these other ones seem reasonable so far.

[512high]

1.5" total , last hour or so gave me the boost. 26F/ 3mph light breezy

[Sey-Mour Snow]

NBM never bit on big snow amounts 

[VivaManchVegas]

What a bust.  Not even an inch.  29 degrees.

I’d argue the tuck over performed considering it’s dropped below 30 here. Did not expect that. 

Noticed this too...  most home sites up here crashed 5 or 6 F in 20 min just after 3am...  dove down.  32 ... 33's were 26 by 4 am. 

All and all a minoring gunk event.   1/2 to 1" of sleet here.  It's white though so there's probably a fair amount of low level needles and poor dendrites mixed in but calling it a sleeter

[Layman]

Those inch to inch and a half measurements around this area look spot on to me.  Definitely makes for an easier morning.

[MarkO]

It's actually closer to 0.75" here in Lowell, but there's probably 0.5" of sleet in there, so it's still going to have to get shovelled. I can't believe another crappy, cold, cloudy day. My forecast high is 32F.

[Damage In Tolland]

That cold  tuck even made it this far west. Temp has been dropping all morning from 31.7 to 30 now 

[rimetree]

Bit of a bust here. Flipped to sleet for a while before going back to snow. 2.25"

[HoarfrostHubb]

About an inch of crusty icy mixed stuff here.  Roads are a mess.  All of the local school districts that had delays shifted to closures.   My district waited until the last minute to close.  
Those HRRR and GFS snows never came close.

Nam knew.

NARCAN was coating to 2" last night....should have known, but + depth change maps were still like 2-5".

Oh well....1.5" of mostly sleet......heavy as fu(k.

Of course it nailed this stool-softener of an event, but whiffed on the blizzard getting up here.

[dryslot]

Coating.

[DomNH]

Well that was a dud. When I woke up and heard pinging at 3 am I knew it was over. 

On to sping.

We got a bit more over by the Bedford line, around 1.75” total.  Sleet with a layer of snow on top.  

[VivaManchVegas]

It was a heavy 1".  Crazy amount of ice at the bottom.

latest hrrr looks pretty good imby.. so tough. could see 1", could see 6"

it was 1"

Yeah  HRRR was on crack for this... but so was the GFS

[Great Snow 1717]

1.7 in methuen but it was a difficult measure because of the 3/4 of an inch of rain/ sleet that had frozen below the layer of sleet/snow. Easily the most difficult cleanup of the season.

[wxeyeNH]

29.8F  Snow final was  3.5".   It was an over achiever.  I don't believe we were ever under a winter advisory and my point and click said 1".    Okay,  I'm ready for spring weather.
