Snow overspreads Southern New England this evening, becoming heavy at times overnight into early Sunday morning, with perhaps some mix of sleet and freezing rain before ending. A widespread 5 to 9 inches is expected regionwide, with a low probability (10-20% chance) of 10- 12 inches possible across northern MA, including the city of Boston. Drying out Sunday afternoon through Tuesday, with a period of below normal temperatures and limited if any snowmelt from tonight`s storm. Our weather pattern then becomes more active again with a coastal low pressure passing to our south Tuesday night into Wednesday, that may bring light snow, then monitoring a stronger storm around late next week.

Definitely heavy snow here now. Looks great.

Started snowing at 9:35 PM in Wilmington, MA and already the driveway is coated. We'll see what the final results have in store for us here.

It's delayed. Taint will still work in.

Not wrong just delayed with the taint.

Actually, for some this could be one of the biggest of the season. that's not too good if one misses out.

Actually, relatively higher.

Actually, the highest quantity is a little southeast of that.

I just posted those.

I gave myself a "C" for my forecast. I ended up with about 5.0" here but that was a struggle to get to. My 4-7" worked out for the most part but the 7-10" I had in the Berks and Northshore did not materialize quite like I was predicting. Two things took that away, Temp and speed of the storm. This storm was fast moving. If the temps in the beginning were a little colder and the storm moved slightly slower, my predictions would have been much better. So again, C at best for my earlier forecast. Looks really pretty this morning with a crystal-clear blue sky over a pristine white landscape.

30 Degrees steady snow here.

I see that dark green band coming in-between 128 and 495. That is what I need to happen up to just about 12:00 AM tonight. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I see what you're saying. That is setting up just in and around 128. I'm on the very edge of it but also getting some of it. I feel you will fill in but would need to pound for a while to get the good stuff.

You'll pound for a little bit now. Let's see we're you end up in the early morning hours.

Right on time.

I had a bit of light snizzle (light rain and snow graupels) but at 5:45 PM was straight snow.

Maybe you should instead.

Keep being a wise ass.

Not western CT just central and eastern areas will get that. I'm talking about the one down the coastline in New Jersey not the one. It's not going to come up straight north. Not the trajectory.

That down there is headed northeast not north/northeast. That will go to mostly central and eastern areas based on the trajectory.

It started snowing here about 5:45 PM. Well ahead of schedule. The mid-levels are colder than progged. This is a good sign for my neck of the woods. 36 degrees Wet steady snow.

That is a mesoscale feature.
