How much in Meriden? My first clearing around 5 PM or so yesterday was mostly fluff but the 4-5 inches afterwards was not pleasant... compacted a bit and it's quite a meaty pack now.
Still managing to hold on to a steady rate but definitely lighter now... about 0.9" new in the past 2 hours with the grainy snow for 15.4" storm total.
Now around 14.5" here as of 8:15 PM with another 1.5-2" or so since 6:45 PM... finish above 16" and it's the biggest since Feb 2013 here. Steady moderate snow.
Most likely just from the crappy flakes... I heard it too for a few minutes but pretty sure it wasn't sleet. Probably a few more inches than that down here.
