Everyone who wants to add snowfall rates to their observation should find something in the distance out thier window that is 1/4 mile away. Get in you car and drive .25 miles to the nearest telephone poll or something. If you can't see that telephone pole in the snow- you have heavy snow.

Funny how many still complain after getting nearly double their seasonal snowfall, much like a very spoiled rich kid.

i complain a lot up here bc im almost always getting shafted bit i dont see how anyone down that way , my aunt and uncle in rye have almost 70 inches so far and normal for a season is 30!!!

Yes which was supposed to happen. We have to wait until the coastal takes shape.

Coastal is rapidly taking shape. The primary low is transferring it's energy to the coastal low, and as a result the precipitation is starting to decay inland as the focus is now on the coastal.

I was gonna comment on that.. I don't see any radar soundings to support "heavy" snow lol

There was certainly intermittent heavy snow (<1/4 mile visibility) here, supported by radar, also, for short periods (5 min periods, but it was real).  I absolutely guarantee you we saw brief periods of heavy snow amidst an hour or so of mostly moderate snow. 

 

As tdp noted, it helps when you have a landmark that's 1/4 mile (440 yards) away and a side street across from my house dead ends at another house that is exactly 450 yards from my house - I play a lot of golf and can step off 450 yards within +/- 2 yards and I've stepped this off.  Trying to "eyeball" 440 yards is much harder without a landmark and I'm sure contributes to erroneous descriptions of snowfall rates by some.

Sorry but I think this is a miss for us. Brotha the south shore just isn't a snow spot. It's raining here rain rain rain rain an rain.

The snow should generate over us as time goes on. The short range models mostly have it from 4pm to maybe 8-9pm. And if it doesn't, oh well. I'm losing a good amount of snow depth today though with temps near 40 again.
