Looks like the heaviest stuff is moving into Boston metro just in time for the PM commute  

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Dumping now!  Moderate snow nice flakes.  Drying to the W pretty quickly though.

[weatherMA]

Precipitation ending as a few sleet pellets. It looks like about 1.5" to 2" of new snow here. Fast mover.

Hey Mitch did Plymouth close for 3" of snow when you went here? lol

[Damage In Tolland]

This winter sucks.

[kevin1927]

One of our best storms of the year here. haha. Sad.

[Snow Bow]

Best snow of the day right now, looks real nice out there. Just over 1.5" new

[Clinch Leatherwood]

I just used the infrared thingy...reason the snow is melting on the roads is the road temperature is around 33 or so degrees.  Weird, everything else is colder.

[weathafella]

That was a nice burst with great snow growth. Next one should be even better. As Scott N speculated, BOS is quite cold now down toe 26/20 with another day AOB freezing destined to hit the books. I doublt it can hold all 24 hours of tomorrow though.

The closing for everything BS started in the early 2000's from what I hear. Though it was usually nice to get a little break from classes, its gotten way over the top. People are so damn dependent these days that they cant be considered responsible enough to drive through more than a dusting of snow even in the damn white mtn foothills. Its pretty sad. It should take 10"+ and dumping to close in a place like Plymouth.

[ineedsnow]

switched over to zr now goodluck on the roads tonight

[MaineJayhawk]

0.4" on the ground in Limington, light snow continues and the roads are getting slick for the afternoon commute. Glad I am already at the hacienda.

[Mr Torchey]

Pouring rain

34

As I suspected my driveway is a skating rink due to the arctic blast, the ground is still frozen making for some slipper walking, roads are just fine, snow and ip just about washed away, flooding issues wed with the frozen ground?

Yeah seriously. If they close for storms like this I could theoretically get like 10-15 cancellations a year lol. Anyway we got the texts in climatology and the professor complained too. Terrible. We have a little under 2" at this point.

[NorEastermass128]

About 0.5" here.  Hoping to tickle an inch. 

[ineedsnow]

[Sugarloaf1989]

Light freezing drizzle falling here, 27F.

ORH has had 3 warning criteria snowfalls and an additional advisory snowfall. The 3 warning criteria events were:

Nov 6-7: 6.4"

Dec 26-27: 6.7"

Dec 29-30: 9.4"

Advisory:

Jan 16: 4.2"

The rest has been nickle and dime garbage under 2".

Hey Mitch did Plymouth close for 3" of snow when you went here? lol

 

Yes, they'd close for 2" of snow and stay open for 12+". It was all about timing and nothing else.

 

I remember we had a 15" SWFE redeveloper on 1/28-29/09 and they stayed open. It was supposed to start around 10 AM, which it did, except they decided to hold classes anyway since it was dry at 6 AM. Once it started to snow, it began dumping 1-2" per hour by 1 PM. I think they finally called it around 2-3 PM after 4-5" of snow and the roads were a disaster. Everyone was in a panic. I remember several other occasions where things like this happened, but can't recall specifics.

 

Meanwhile, if we had 2-3" of snow that was actively falling around 5-6 AM, they'd often close for the day. Go figure...

 

Anyway, were getting a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain here. It's waffling back and forth, depending on intensity. 1.5" of new snow measured.

To answer Phil snow picked up when I left work

How much did Kevin get on 12/26?

 

I was trying to do the math of his 37 or whatever inches. I didn't doubt him, just trying to remember the dates.

 

About a half inch now here.

See Coventrys wx sig . He has them listed

[CoastalWx]

9.9" here if I did the math right?

 

I assume 0.5" fell here Friday night, but I might be off by a tenth or so. There was still a little snow left not sublimated when I came home last night.
