6.1"

Thick and heavy band coming in off the Gulf. Good times straight ahead.

Just about where you are down near the coast as well. Was at just north of 5" at 9. PWM has been at 1/4SM for 3 hours now, but winds only about 20 sustained. Who knows, I think we might actually end up verifying with marginal blizzard conditions later today as the h7 low pulls just off the coast.

Did you see your cam from earlier this morning? I couldn't even see the red boathouses across the channel.

This snow right now is awesome. Just dumping.

Yeah, it was pretty good when I woke up around 7:30am. Not quite as heavy now.

That >30dbz stuff seems to be struggling moving inland more than 30 miles. I'm tired of settling for mostly 25dbz stuff. :gun_bandana:

Dude...we're getting crushed right now. I can't see your boathouses again.

This whole Advisory vs. Warning business sure has me a little confused. It seems like it should not just be tied to quantity over long periods of time but also to time frames of heavy snow/hour. Like right now we have an Advisory here, but it is snowing so hard that it could well be warning time. So is this all about what you finish up with for totals in the end? Or also about warning people that the roads could be a mess and even with plows out they will be covered 1/2 hour later. Just not sure if I get it.

As Maine Jayhawk pointed out - this is going to be a bust for GYX crew

7" on the ground here in Yarmouth, ME at 945 AM

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION

339 AM EST WED JAN 12 2011

...NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/...

LOW PRESSURE MOVING NORTHWARD TOWARD CAPE COD AT THIS TIME. LARGE

SHIELD OF SNOW IS PUSHING NORTHWARD THROUGH SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND

AND INTO SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE. EXPECT SNOW TO INCREASE IN

INTENSITY THROUGH THE MORNING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AS LOW PRESSURE

OCCLUDES NEAR CAPE COD...THEN BEGINS MOVING EAST. AS DRY SLOT

WRAPS AROUND THE LOW...THERE IS SOME CONCERN THAT THIS MAY HAVE A

NEGATIVE EFFECT ON TOTAL SNOWFALL AMOUNTS AND MAY SHIFT THE AXIS

OF HEAVIEST SNOW AWAY FROM THE COAST THIS AFTERNOON. BUT AT THIS

TIME...STILL EXPECT HEAVIEST TOTAL SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS TO FALL

FROM SOUTHEAST NEW HAMPSHIRE THROUGH THE COAST OF MAINE WHERE 6 TO

12 INCHES IS EXPECTED TO FALL. FURTHER NORTH AND

WEST...ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE LIGHTER WITH GENERALLY 3 TO 6 INCHES

EXPECTED IN THE NORTH AND MOUNTAINS. THE WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY

HAS BEEN EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL NORTHERN AREAS THOUGH AREAS NORTH

OF THE MOUNTAIN RIDGES MAY ONLY SEE A FEW INCHES TODAY BEFORE

UPSLOPE SNOWS BEGIN TONIGHT.

Yep... should have looked out the window before posting. Nice flare up on radar.

I would have preferred this to fall at night.... snow at night always seems heavier.

Keep in mind the further you get away from the radar the more the echoes drop off. Just because there are yellows to your east it doesn't necessarily mean you're getting lighter snow. Your cam is redonkulous right now...just like it was here.

GYX updated their WSW with heavier totals.

SNOW WILL ACCUMULATE AN INCH AN HOUR THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AND

INTO THIS EVENING...WITH ACCUMULATIONS OF 2 OR 3 INCHES AN HOUR

LIKELY AT TIMES ACROSS COASTAL...SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL AREAS OF

MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE. THIS WILL LEAVER ANYWHERE FROM 6 TO 18

INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS THE REGION...WITH THE LOWEST AMOUNTS IN THE

MOUNTAINS AND THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS ACROSS SOUTHEAST NEW HAMPSHIRE

AND SOUTHWEST MAINE. A FEW LOCATIONS MAY EVEN TOP 20 INCHES OF

SNOW FOR THIS EVENT.

We've quickly dropped to very low visibility... its under a 1/4 mile on the mountain without a doubt. Can barely see across the parking lot.

ASOS at Stowe-Morrisville MVL is down to 1/4 mile after only a half hour of snow... so it hits hard.

MPV is getting crushed... 0.17" liquid at 15F in one hour with the rare ASOS <1/4 visibility.. easily 2"/hr there.

MPV = Montpelier?

Howdy, fellow Yarmouth, Maine neighbor. Love watching the +SN pile up in our town. Hope it stays this way for hours!

Wow on that shot from Weirs...must be sliding over this way because the heavyheavy is back with a venegance after a 20 minute pause. I'm think us here in Merrimakc cty might experience the trifecta: heavy waa advection snows followed by ccb/deformation and capped off by a pivot point. I think GYX is conservative still...8-18? everyone is already over 8 and looking at the radar it should be 12-20 with isolated to 24
