This is why we don't need the big winds in snowstorms. .I wonder if the big winds actually kept the snowfall tallies down somewhat as it shredded the dendrites?

 

Compaction as well, The winds did not have much effect on snow growth here, We had lagre dendrites thru out

Finally saw +SN this morning, with 2.5" from 7-9:30. Passed the 10" mark about 10A, though measuring (and especially water content) is an adventure. -SN now, hope that band just east of AUG makes it here before sliding south. That would get the total to over a foot, quite modest compared to amounts not far to the south but still a fine storm, especially since it's all come with temps between 5 and 9.

At 7A, CAR had measured 0.2". I don't know if FVE even saw a flake.

You can get a 200 frame loop which right now goes back to 2-3 pm yesterday. Wish there was a way to save it. I took a video on my iPhone.

Wow, its amazing we didn't get more snow down here considering the storm went to our southeast by 100+ miles.  Normally we would get it, but I bet the 700-850mb centers tracked pretty close to the South Coast of MA.  One other note is that we were all snow yesterday despite easterly flow, but it never accumulated until later once the sun set.
