Exactly I think I was sitting on the eastern fringe of the metrowest band for hours... but probably not too far behind you, my guess is around 7-8" now but I'll measure in a bit. It seemed Boston proper was flanked by the better returns for a while today, so wouldn't be surprised to see KBOS come in around 7-8" (a few inches lower than metrowest and obviously the south shore) when all is said and done.

 

And to echo others: really wishing you the best with the hand. Nothing like an injury out of the blue. Agree with ice / nsaids / imaging if it doesn't get better early this week, but hopefully it's just a bruise! We wouldn't be true weenies without battle scars to show for it.

Thanks man!   I poked around all the bones and I don't think anything is broken but a bruise for sure.  Still snowing here-fun event.

Should be over a foot. Just some light stuff. I think my mention of the jack between here and Plymouth down to Bridgewater area will work out. Yesterday I was thinking 5-8 for Boston. I did think central CT, central MA, to ray and adjacent NH would do better. I didn't have numbers out there but I probably would have been too high with the end ranges for sure. I think those issues with the soundings I pointed out this morning (weird sub zones, sinking air near 700 at times, some backing of winds with height instead of veering) maybe have played a role. In the end, the lift also didn't happen  like Ithought. I found it interesting that if you ripped and read the VVs in the mid levels, it would have screamed an ACK band. But the 700 deformation and frontogenesis IMO looked better where those bands ended setting up and that's what we had. Once again the QPF sucked in the bullseye zone and lower level WAA was given too much weight by models. It also seems like 12z GFS puked on itself in CT with half inch QPF+.

Any numbers from James?

BOX def dropped the ball in this area.  They flinched overnight and ramped up numbers...I see amounts of 5" in Leominster and FIT, as well as Westminster, but I have my doubts.

He definitely got dry slotted for a while down there.... I don't know if anyone east of the canal saw a foot

Yeah, by this morning I started calling for reduced #'s in RT 2 corridor from KFIT and West. 

 It may not be sound meterology but experience told me that when it was 8/3 at 7am here the dry air would win and the precip cuttoff would be drastic.

.5"-75" here, I imagine MPM might have gotten 1-2" max?   I'm sure he will let us know. 

Cold too, 16/12 currently with flurries.  I knew I was cooked but I thought Codfish and Ctvalleysnow, Radarman, Sugarloaf etc would have done better.
