I'm thinking Paris to Norway got crushed the most along this stretch of 26. I haven't been out in about 2 hours. Based on crude measurements (1.5ish iPhone 5 depth) I figured 7 or so inches and we for another few after that. I bet the mountain reports 6-10 ish as it was definitely accumulating faster earlier at elevation.

Nice storm. No mix ever here but only the heaviest echoes produced the fluff. Everything else hurt at speed while skiing. I don't think the heavier snow extended even 10-15 miles nw of here based on radar.

Mountain really needed the snow. Was fairly dense too good base for them on the unopened trails. Epic Monday skiing incoming.

Beautiful fluff-bomb at my place, 11.0" in 8.5 hr, with about 8" from 7-11 last evening.  Interesting drive home from Farmington about 9 PM (after our once-postponed Christmas program finished), saw 3" in the church parking lot, and 5" at home.  That core was 0.33", for 15:1 ratio.  Snow was finished by 1:30, and at 5 AM I measured the after-9 accum at 6.0", with only 0.28", ratio 21:1.  Total LE of 0.61 for a surprisingly high ratio of 18:1.  Temps were near 20 throughout the hvy stuff, lovely dendrites and aggregates drifting in the light wind.  Now 22" at the stake, will probably be a couple inches settled by tonight.

Definitely one of those events where the winners were really winners and the losers were really losers. We had isothermal soundings at the office to around 3000 feet last night. We happened to be isothermal at 30ish, PWM was isothermal around 32, you would have been isothermal around 20 (-7 C). So basically those areas isothermal in the low 20s had a very deep snow growth zone, good for high ratios.

This time the Route 2 snowshield worked in reverse, with some towns along/near that road getting a foot or more.  The GYX lqiud forecast for the area was pretty much dead on; the ratios made for a happy bust.  Also noticed this AM that the BD didn't get all that far SW, as many NH points never got under 30.
