I’m not sure what the beam is hitting SW of the radar site. @OceanStWx would know.

Thanks, curious what creates it.  Up to 8 or 9" now, on a ridge with eastern exposure so drifting is an issue.  Band seems to reform overhead with good inflow from GOM still showing.  Hopefully it expands west to get you into the goods.

Good stuff dying right on my doorstep..  Still a decent storm so far.

There’s a high density of flakes out there which is keeping the vis way down despite the meh growth. I’m only pulling 9-10:1 ratios up here, but it adds up. When you get that extra lift in the banding the deposition goes off the charts in the DGZ and you start turning a similar amount of liquid into triple the snow rates.

You are ground zero up here right now. When did you move from Auburn?

Just a horrible combination of in between banding features, low elevation, and time of day.  Areas to both my west and east have done better than here.  Even most of the Berks and Litchfield Hills is 6-12.  Only positive is faster melting and less cleanup but really a big time disappointment overall.  

yeah... For a winter storm enthusiast that's a tough pill to swallow.   I had something similar to that take place during that "Boxing Day" storm up my way in northern Middlesex County up along Rt 2 a few years ago.  That storm was a big presence in a few runs at deep mid range that got lost and almost flattened down to nothing, only to come come back to prominence as a major major threat inside of 36 hours!  Went from nothing to blizzard in real short order... by the time we finally getting our heads wrapped around the idea that a life-threatening big time monster cryo bomb was about to unleash the end scene of The Shining on all of SNE ... we were getting royally shafted by weird dry air entrainment/evaporation notch in surface verification that seemed to collocate by horrible luck alone, with some sort of DVM node associated with a standing g-wave.  That nifty little atmospheric collaboration gave us 3 or 4" of chalk dust when many areas literally only 10 to 15 miles SE were nearing 20... 

I mean it happens. These storms that are major but less than top dogs come along with idiosyncratic butt bangs that seem almost personal - haha...for lack of better emotive commiseration. The big dogs?  They tend to homogenize the huge impact more evenly... It's just that you can't bother trying to rationalize that reality with someone under the prolific bands because they'll honk like a donkey to defined the storm as something out of the bible.  That's why we have climate and historian specialist that come in during post-mortem to rank these things - 

You know... that deal next week on the Euro may have legs... It could actually big deal for you and rain for us back here and that's life.

Snowing steadily and heavily the past few hours. 

Visibility has been 1/2sm or lower for the past two hours here with 0.16" in the ASOS bucket. 

Everything on track for a good synoptic snowfall followed by upslope crushing.

That ORH to windham county band has been pounding for over 90 minutes now. There's def another one trying to form again in metrowest now though....we'll see if it blossoms up to previous heights.

 

 

Crushing it 14 now, imagine Garth is the big winner down here
