So I have a question for NOAA and the Boston Mets. You were fooled by the Blizzard of 2005 on Cape Cod, and fell into the same trap for this Blizzard. If the 540 thickness, 850mb temps, 700mb temps all support snowfall, don't put so much emphasis on the models surface temperatures! Calling for a straight changeover to rain as late as 11PM and  1 AM last night when ALL the short range models (RPM, HRRR, NAM, RGEM) showing temps not getting above 31 is just wrong.

 

Wouldn't surprise me to see the Cape as a jackpot zone of 30+ inches.

God there is a little finger of snow in Merrimack Co while radar drying up to our immediate east and west.  Good snow growth, moderate snow here now and 7 inches or so.  Surprised to have more than you.

I think snowbow only had 4" an hour or two ago. When I measured the range was like 2-6" in non-drifted areas so I just took the average. There's drifts around the vicinity of the vehicles that are 10".

No. I measure on the deck. Staffordville was at 18.5 an hour ago. That's Jeff

 

Yeah, I know that.  I've actually met him.  He's probably adding what has fallen since he did his 6AM ob of 11.5".  We were in that good band for a while so 7" in 5.5 hours is plausible doing it that way.

 

Be careful measuring too closely to structures, particularly with the texture of the snow and the wind.  You can get contamination that way from snow blowing off the roof.  You should clear a path to the middle of your yard and take an average.
