Nice! I'm surprised they're active already.  Sweet. 

I've tried trout fishing 3 times in the local area....nada.  Gotta hit 'em on the right day.  I'll be going up this weekend to the camp....might try Upper Baker in Orford again....we'll see.  

Yea if the air is much warmer than the water, largemouth will get very shallow, but we were watching reeds and sticks move almost on the bank with fish moving around them.

I'm so done with trout right about now. Cannot keep the stockies away from a 5" jerkbait when bass fishing. That plus the 3 treble hooks on each, the boat looks like a crime scene of scales and blood. No point in putting them back after they get hooked on one of those since they won't make it. I keep making "trout cakes" out of them for my wife and the toddler. They love them.

I hiked up to Mt Lincoln in Pelham (1200') and there was like 6.5"-7" at 915 this morning.  It was dumping then and has been dumping since then so they might well be pushing 10 by now.

Don't boot pack the skin track lol

7.5" on the deck.

How high up are you?

We are at about 650'.

Heaviest snow of the storm now. Might see double digits.

Measured multiple spots in the front, average was 6.3". Still going around 1"+ per hour. Neighbors just lost a good size pine. 

Edit: that band keeps pivoting west another ~15 miles and this will be our biggest storm of the year. 

Just won't quit. Been ripping at 1" per hour since 6:30. Over 5" now. 

Just over 4" now. 

A firehose of 1-2" parachutes. Will be pushing 4.5" by 7:30 at this rate. 

Hit Quaboag the other day and it was a fun surprise. Water was around 50, air around 70, bass were in less than a foot of water on any cover they could find warming up. Made for an excellent day of pitching the jig around. Grabbed 3 largies between 2.5-4 lbs off a single long on a sand flat in 5 casts, doubt I will ever do that again in my life time. Finished with over a dozen largemouth. Quabbin opens this weekend, will be a different story. Probably yo-yoing blade baits in 30-40' for smallies. 

Going to stack up now, 2" per hour rate of cotton balls coming down.  

Street finally covered. Over 2" down and really pounding now. Gonna have to plow the boat ramps at the Quabbin for opening day tomorrow.  

Woke up at 2:45 to a covering. 1.5" now and really starting to rip. 

Able to get out Berkie finally later today and this evening with some friends. Feel like bringing out the 80s neon ski attire.

Good rates and flakes around 7am. Grabbed .5" before it quit. 

Got about 30 minutes of awesome rates and flakes before it switched over. 

This is wild. Raining less than a mile from our house at 500'. Snow line seems to be around 650'.

2" per hour stuff cranking now. A nice surprise. >1" down on paved surfaces so far. 

S+ and roads are covered. Going to be a rough commute home for some.

Moderate snow with some good wind. Just starting to stick here.

Breeze has kicked up here in the past 15-20 minutes, 35/26.
