Measured (or tried to - lots of drifting) 9.0" at 9 PM, making 6.0" since I got home from work at 4:50.  Porch stairs had closer to 15 as it was blowing off the roof.  LE was 1.27" (core was 1.25" and pail was 1.29" so I averaged.)  My wife said it rained for a couple hours late morning after starting as light snow, was back to light snow by noon.  Temp fell from 30 to the day's low (and tomorrow's cheap high) of 22 between 7:45 and 9 PM, as winds got stronger, with gusts into the 30s.  Had to shake off the lilac branches, and toss one that broke, in order to access the thermometer.  Upstream radar would seem to indicate that the heavy stuff has only a few hours left, though the back edge isn't advancing all that quickly.

 

Congrats man, This one was yours up there

Finally getting into some good dendrites the last 2 hours or so. Ripping out there for quite awhile now. Hard to measure with the wind, but 4 measurements average 12.5" as of 9:30pm. We'd have 18" by now if it were not for the poor show growth all afternoon.

Yea that sucks,geezus

Thanks.  I'm no longer at the bottom of the Maineiacs posting on the snow table - might even jump into 2nd of the 5, pending what Eric measures.  However, 18-24 is out of play here, IMO.  12-15 is probably a better guess unless we get all of the 2-4" after sunrise that GYX discussed.  Great storm, though, with all the wind, about 5 hr of SN+, now the temp plunge - nothing to complain about!

 

Lights have blinked a few times, so it's probably about time to sign off and get some rest for tomorrow's cleanup.

lol it was just an observation. Plenty of folks comment in all winter storms on flake size and snow growth.

Hopefully we can get up to double digits here, we should in this wrap around tonight.

The Champlain Valley and western slopes are going to get crushed.

Where are you now?  I'm sitting around 9-11" with lots of drifting.  Wondering when J. Spin will chime in with his definitive reporting.  Went around the yard a bit, leaning toward the 9" end for an average about 45 mins ago- who knows now as snow growth has been improving and it's cranking.  My car has almost zero snow on it now- where there was 5" around 7pm.  Wind blasted.

 

The total depth in the yard here, sheltered, is a healthy 24" all around.
