good storm yes, for some. Locally and even regionally (ene, se ne) 12/9/05 was far more memorable honestly, though snowed a few inches less (or more..)
now it is onto scrap clipper/anafront season
I forgot how late it was, it seemed to be just before sunset in SE MA. I think what helped at the time was the sun was setting, not sure it would have snowed a few hours earlier.
