Hard to argue with the Euro handling of this system, at least up this way. Never really backed off the QPF even when the surface low idea fizzled. Stayed the course.

 

Now we've got a good 3" of paste stuck to every twig out there. Just eyeballing it looks like I'm pretty close to the Jetport measurement of 6".

re: Boston metro: been non-accumulating snow for past 4 hours... if HRRR/RAP were correct on qpf, gotta knock off at least 2-3" due to sh*tty boundary layer... literally not accumulating on anything except blizzard banks... i think 1-2" if that in mby

 

Congrats to those up north, awesome reports!

Nice.  Love those big ol' flake snows.  Plus caking snows are the best looking.  Congrats.  Looks like ORH was once again just far enough north/south/east/west to get into the good stuff ;)

 

 

I love the nickel szed flakes that just accumulate rapidly and stick to everything. My favorite type of snow for sure. It always "looks" more impressve too than the very dry powdery stuff when they plow it and make piles. Roads have become bad since the sun lowered....classic for late season event.

jzinckgra - I know, the number of times I lose power per year must require two hands to count. I'm hoping to buy a house by summer and the first thing I'll buy other than toilet paper will be a generator.

Here's a few pics I took when I got home of the field across my lil country road as nighttime approached.

Hehe yeah... the 3" of wet snow we got up this way from this event has plowed into piles similar to the warning criteria upslope event we had last Wednesday/Thursday lol.
