and it was brave with all the hullabalo about the deep tropical moisture connection and all of that but all the players were definitely not on the field despite what most of the models spit out.

I was surprised too that we didn't get a lot of sleet, the snow amounts were depressing but with all the talk of moisture laden system I figured we get the other half of qpf in ip...

kudos to the nam/rgm too....but they were too wet in some places

the potential was certainly there but not everything was coming together.  That was the difference this and early February when things actually aligned.  I went pretty beefy in that one for totals across much of CT and if anything may have been just a tick too high with that event.

Could be, but visibility is way up. Temp holding at 32.

There is an area of much lighter echoes moving through there, so I'll bet that is what it is...snow growht got worse and of course much less intense as those move through. I would think you will resume much better snow when the heavier echoes move back in:

So what happens from here on out for SNE? Ping back to snow as deform moves across..or just ends?

There might be a brief period of snow later this evening as things lift back NE...but I wouldn't expect a whole lot of accumulation. An inch or two wouldn't shock me but neither would just flurries.

About 8in in North Andover now. Winds still howling. KLWM has been reporting Blizzard conditions for 2 hours now (assuming the next METAR verifies which it def should). Strongest winds will prob be over the next 3-4 hours over NE MA.

Damn, that was fast. We're still holding out here but I doubt it'll be much longer if you're pinging.

I think he's getting some crappy snow growth with a lot of rimed flakes...dual pol shows the real sleet line still well south in the Scituate/Brockton corridor.

They're gonna think I'm cheating LOL.  I swear I'm not cheating and my ruler is slanted less than 5 degrees.  Delmar is very close to me and reported 5" less than me!  WTF!
