I made the mistake of going to the one in Fitchburg when I was in Ashburnham for a weekend. oof

I could be misremembering or just making shit up, but didn't it seem like cutters in the 90s always started off with flakes a lot of time or like 30 minutes of wet snow before flipping. I feel like it's rarely the case now. This isn't even a cutter and it's starting off as straight rain here, though I understand why. It's likely just some anecdotal memory I have that might not hold any weight.

Low visibility snow showers occurring between patches of blue sky in E Sandwich. kinda cool despite not accumulating..but that's par for the course this year.

Peaking through the shuttered blinds at a snow shower right now. could be the last flakes for a while here. C/NNE looks like a good spot to be though

Remember the last snowstorm that lasted 30 hours and 90% of it melted on contact?

Radar depiction has shown snow over my area for the past two hours, but yet it's still raining. You got me again Winter of 22/23!

George already cancelled this winter and next - he gon I personally closed the shades til late month, and this would be a nice storm to open them with.

I guess it's more 1/26. Nice ridge in the west, and hints of buildilng blocking (maybe transient) in NAO region

1/26-1/27 has some potential

That is true - I wanted to emphasize the here as me being within 2 miles of the ocean. interior Upper Cape did a bit better like you said. I think the SST's did have a big part of it - so hopefully by February that issue is somewhat neutralized. Also, I shouldn't complain too much because it did have a nice wintry appeal for over 30 hours..and just enough to enjoy some outdoor time. But deep down, I want a biggie.

Note on this past storm: Without a real source of polar/arctic cold that isn't rotting, and during a time of above average SSTS - I"m tossing all snow maps to Jupiter, for here. Plenty of flags were raised by mets, and I mostly agreed with them but not to the extent that it panned out. 1.8" total but max depth maybe got over an inch due to the constant melting. I thereby am not getting too excited until I see arctic air in place or nearby. Just give me a storm that starts out in the teens, and maybe maxes out to 30° with a solid H to the north of us.

Shutting the shades here until late month. Pattern doesn't look that interesting to me this far south

It's going Annular. jk There's been consistent OES in between these pinwheeling bands..but it's only dusting the existing .3 of sleet/snow we got earlier today. Looks like another one might clip EMA again.

Divide by 6 or 7 and the euro nailed it. (edited because my math was wrong) 2-3 degrees colder and we likely have 10"+ of paste.

Not surprised about a couple of those Cape totals, which occurred a few miles inland from the water. My locale fought the ocean most of the storm, but I was lucky to get over an inch. If you drove a 1/2 mile/1mile closer to the shore from where I live..there was basically nothing on the ground.

so COVID. up to 2.5" on the season. Don't worry, late Feb will rock

same. actually accumulating better than yesterday's heavier snow, probably due to the sleet

Snow here at the moment. incoming radar looks good

Plenty of melting overnight with temps above freezing. just patchy areas left

Seems like straight ocean enhanced or OES at this point.

Managed to make these earlier with the kid. Had to settle for the vertically challenged snowmen with limited materials

The HRRR had snow regenerating here overnight. Then again it's a piece of shit so who knows

about 1.3". it has basically compacted as it fell

another band starting up. this should stick much better
