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. With the 4" I got today my total is close to 45. Climo per News 40 is 49" so we've got a shot at it if next week's rumor materializes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've eclipsed my 18'' ruler but estimating 19'' as of now. Just passed Jan '11. Kind of a really sneaky biggie here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on NWS reported 13.4" but that seemed low, looks like we'll make 20" here. I suppose sitting under this band for 5 hours didn't hurt.

Saw on the news 15" in Dracut but I got 9.5" here in Methuen right on the Dracut line. Been sitting barely outside that heavy band all day but really starting to rip now.

I can't believe you have 5, I have 3...perhaps 3.5 if i cleared a board etc...and downtown is even worse at 2....this is what I mean you are in a better spot than I am as you get more snow by 1-3 inches 9/10 times when ineedsnow was out in agawam some storms he had 3-6 more than what I had, maybe even a bit more in the real big ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if the gradient is that tight from here to Nashua. I was taking measurements this AM when I was about 2-2.5" behind Ray. Haven't taken a legit measurement since then, but I'd wager we're pretty close to Ray since the returns had been generally heavier this afternoon. He's also only 6 or 7 miles to my southeast. I'm guessing about 18". Ray, what are you at? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
