light snow/fllurries for the past two hours...but we are up to around 7 inches including the .2 from yesterday...that heavy stuff is only a few miles away and its never gonna get here...thats just beyond cruel

 

i dont feel bad for ri between the blizzard and the three or four esne specials...they are doing just fine this year

 

looks to me like some of those places in ct that are a bit low are gonna rip too now...

My yard has 5", Storm Total of 7.5".  Finally SNOWING vs. Snow Showering like it has the past 39 Hours (I should be happy it has been snowing for 39 hours.... but...... ya know..... RI Screw storm.....)    

 

Can you guys just PROMISE me you will call this the Rhode Island Screw Firehose Storm of 3/7, 8/2013??  I will feel Much better.  

 

North Providence keeps reporting 2" from my family.  

I am living on the edge in Seekonk, Just 3-4 miles west is a joke of a sto

Yeah wasn't elevation (Manchester is going to have 12+) but it was somewhat disjointed. E CT was able to cash in on the fire hose off the Atlantic while there was a large area of deformation/frontogenesis that produced snow in W CT. In between the Hartford area was without a forcing mechanism to deliver the goods. 

 

We barely had an inch when Glastonbury picked up 6" last night just a few miles away. 

 

I don't think that is strictly the case given my observations around here.  Given the same QPF, elevated areas have more snow than lower areas.  Staffordville is running a couple of inches more than me and he is a couple of hundred feet higher.  I saw places around 1000' yesterday afternoon that had more snow as well.

yes I am big difference from earlier.. I'm tickling the middle of the band of 25-30dbz.. looks to be intensifying right overhead.. 

it looks great on the radar, giant band of heavy snow heading right this way! now just in the light stuff between bands, but it shouldn't be too long, probably an hour or so until it arrives. upton just removed rain for today from my point and click and issued a WSW, new upton map which I think still will bust low here(i'm in the 8-10 near downtown stamford, think we see a foot when alls said and done).

Question is do we break 20" reports.  The area most likely to do it near Foxboro may be in the ligther stuff now plus daylight...not sure.

 

But yikes, this is high water content stuff.

By my math, assuming somebody does the 6hr measurements correctly, a few spots should crack 20".  I think ratios reached around 10 or 12:1 overnight in high spots so we'd be looking at 2-day totals of around 2.5" liquid or more... which is/was supported.  So yes, I think we will as this thing is still cranking.  General jackpot area of 14" - 18"

Upton must be reading my posts, just got upgraded to a WSW a second ago. It's not in the point and click yet, but CT is pink to the shoreline.

2nd time this year they've gone to a warning mid event--the Nov event was another one.

coming down harder here, roads just wet since they've been plowed and solar radiation melting through...

It's deep here in southern Wilmington, but I can't tell how much by eye-balling it Just read from Mark O in Lowell that about 14" and still snowing and he was more in the poor dendrite growth for a while before the heavy bands hit. My latest guess when all is said and done should be maybe 16-17". We'll see. Looks like the 12-24" that models called for much earlier in the game might end up verifying. Stay tuned!! One hell of a bust!
