A nice snowy day at the mountain... snowed all day and only amounted to 2" but this had to have been some of the highest ratio snow we've seen yet this year. Basically air.

These cars had about 1.5" of snow as we did have some snow before folks arrived today.

Now this is what we call "good snow growth." This is pure dendrite fluff. The snow growth is so good these flakes are almost 1" in diameter some of them, so the actual snow you measure varies considerably based on where the stuff has clumped up. You could measure one spot with 1.5" then another with over 2" as it just depends on how the flakes stacked up in that one little area.

Jerry, how much do you have? Hoping to crack 4" but may be just shy.

Not sure Scott. Just out of the shower and will be out for an hour walking the dog as our daughter has a performance in Wellesley tonight and then to Waltham for dinner at the. Tuscan Grill. Four looks close but I rarely take the time to measure...lol.

DOT obs only 2.3" for Union. Ugh.

Impressive band... a bunch of 8-11" amounts from the superband from Salem/East Haddam CT back through Fairfield County. Multiple places broke double digits.

Definitely didn't see this kind of band forming. We knew we'd have some frontogenesis but I'm surprised that the mesoscale band became so intense and stalled. Imagine if there was good snow growth in that band what the totals would have been!!!!!
