Maybe not the population centers but this storm has a pretty impressive aerial extent of verified warning criteria snows from upstate NY through W.MA, and up into VT/NH/ME away from coastal sections.  Big area of 7"+ snows.

I would agree and a nice hit even here with 7-8 from BTV to Milton in the CPV :)

In Maine only the mountains, and maybe the north, approached warning criteria.  Based on the P&C snowfall predictions (Farmington's were 2"/9"/11" for "at least"/"most likely"/"possible") it definitely underperformed here.  My place had 12 hours of tinyflakes for 3" of 8:1 powder, followed by 12 hours of IP/ZR and some albino poppyseeds to add another 0.2" of light crust from about 0.06" LE.  The p-type switch occurred about 5 PM yesterday with temps in the upper teens, so the midlevel warmth pushed a long way inland.  LE came to 0.42", considerably less than expected though Oceanstwx warned of that possibility prior to the storm's arrival, and 3.2" total accum.  It's very early in the game, but so far LEW and Raymond are leading the foothills, same as the past 2 good years.  (15-16 stunk for all.)

Full winter mode.

What a difference once I hit Greenfield.  Beautiful and wintry.  Beast had 7 or 8 at the top in protected spots, and a good amount of semi windblown powder on the slopes.  Once they groom everything out they should be pretty well set up.  I'd expect the next snowstorm to open up quite a bit of the mountain.

 Good effort!  That's how you earn your turns. 

 Yeah, I am in Amherst now and the difference in the snow amounts is astounding.

In Maine only the mountains, and maybe the north, approached warning criteria.  Based on the P&C snowfall predictions (Farmington's were 2"/9"/11" for "at least"/"most likely"/"possible") it definitely underperformed here.  My place had 12 hours of tinyflakes for 3" of 8:1 powder, followed by 12 hours of IP/ZR and some albino poppyseeds to add another 0.2" of light crust from about 0.06" LE.  The p-type switch occurred about 5 PM yesterday with temps in the upper teens, so the midlevel warmth pushed a long way inland.  LE came to 0.42", considerably less than expected though Oceanstwx warned of that possibility prior to the storm's arrival, and 3.2" total accum.  It's very early in the game, but so far LEW and Raymond are leading the foothills, same as the past 2 good years.  (15-16 stunk for all.)

The development of the secondary and its track thru Maine is certainly not one you see very often as you can tell by the storm totals here and then see how it played out to the west.

QPF fail, dendrite formation fail.  At least it didn't thaw.

That was the only good, CAD held strong at the surface, Mid levels got overtaken by some warmth, The snow growth was fair at best early on and the qpf was paltry, We wait until next week for our next chance unless saturday's changes.

What a difference once I hit Greenfield.  Beautiful and wintry.  Beast had 7 or 8 at the top in protected spots, and a good amount of semi windblown powder on the slopes.  Once they groom everything out they should be pretty well set up.  I'd expect the next snowstorm to open up quite a bit of the mountain.
