At 7 AM it was 20F here and windy, moderate snow, 1.5" (anywhere from almost none to 3-4" - accuracy will be a challenge), and 0.18" LE for a ratio of 8.3-to-1. Tiny flakes, 0.1" or smaller. 06z gfs qpf about 1.25", down 20-30% from last night but still enough for double-digits if it verifies (and for 15-18" if we get some decent dendrites.)

Total slopfest here. A couple of quick inches of snow last night, then moderate to heavy rain. My rain gauge is measuring 1.42" of liquid, temp 38F. Snowblower is useless on his crap. With a 200 yard long gravel driveway here's hoping it all melts before a big freeze.

Eyeballing 5-6" so far @ 27.6. After a bit of a lull we're getting better snow growth now. I'm always skeptical of forecasts like today's, which call for snow followed by a period of mixing and then back to snow for a few more inches of accumulation; as others have pointed out, it just seems like the back-end stuff never quite comes through in a meaningful way. We'll see though.

Sounds like a lot of folks down south are disappointed, but considering that this looked like a slam-dunk cutter rainstorm for everyone but the mountains a few days ago I'd say the region made out pretty well overall -- with the exception of the beleaugured immediate coast of SNE. Hopefully the weekend system will come through for everyone who missed out on this one.

Thanks Ginx...

light to occassionally moderate this last hour, but when it comes down heavier the flakes look better. I think we are about to enter a period of moderate to occassionally heavy snow. The wcb failed us up here but perhaps the cab will bring the joy. Pics and Vid later once I have something decent to show you.

When I got up at 630 to let the dogs out it seemed like it was changing over to rain but we are back to all snow in Pepperell (moderate and accumulating). Pepperell is in NW Middlesex county in Mass for those who might not know. I haven't measured by eyeball says 6 inches.

congrats sounds great, a thick layer of snow envelops a great portion of Mass now. good news.

Stayed all snow here but the mixing line must have been close. The signature change over aggregates started to mix in around six. Visibility has been between 1/4-1/3 mile most of the morning. Accumulations are dissapointing, ratios suck despite it being a dry snow. It feels like you are shoveling sugar. ~5" but it was hard to measure with all of the drifting. 28/28
