Finally looks like that band is going to break up somewhat soon. Constant ripping since 11:30...what a fail on the screwgie call. I should just start forecasting George Costanza style - whatever I think is going to happen just forecast the opposite.

Manchester did great.

Looks like it could be a top 10 type storm for ASH-MHT

5.5" - 6" here since midnight.  4.5" or so otg.  Heavy and wet.   32F -SN

A little disappointing relative to forecast but we probably wasted some qpf and never got into better rates despite them being overhead.  

Still looks pretty!  :snowman:

For every 10 storms around here it seems as though 6-7 underperform,  2-3 meet expectations, and 1 suprises and that might be generous.  I can't blame the western mass guys out of Springfield for being so conservative sometimes.  It's usually a zero sum game around here.  Either the CCB banding parks itself right overhead or we get a perfect deform for hours or things just crap out and it's arctic sand and when temps are marginal early and late season there is no margin for error. .  With most of the biggies it seems as though the beginning of the storm usually starts slow and you feel behind the 8 ball trying to catch up. Just about at climo for the year now so I guess I should be grateful for that.

In 130 Years of my data, only 19 Storms have dropped 20".  

3 20" in March.  

I'm probably right near 20" now with a New band behind the death band.  

 

I don't know if I've ever been so depressed in my life.  OH that's right..... 2 weeks ago when we lost 3 65 foot Spruce trees that made the property forever.  So #1 and #2 within weeks.  How fun.  I'm ready to drown myself.

Hardest snow of the day here right now despite the band slipping east. Hurts to miss 2ft by such a short distance, but lots of us were in the same boat today. You win some and you lose some.

I missed 2ft by like 10 miles, and 17".

Consolation prize, I lost power again.

I'm taking down 8 trees next week, just to spite you.

You nailed it.  Up here SWFE are more reliable.  I too am am just about climo fir the season.  3 NorEasters in 3 weeks but almost no SN+ to show for it.  There is always the next one!
