Two of the storms last March hurt way worse for me. I expected solid 15"+ in both cases and wound up with 2.5" and 0" respectively. In the latter case, I could watch Long Island pick up 20" while snowing 5"/hr while sucking exhaust here. Still, this event is rather irksome. Can't believe my kbest snow of the season by a wide margin came a solid week before Thanksgiving. That's effed up. 

I am close to you but had only one bust, the one where LI and south got hammered and I got 2.5

Others were 10, 9.5, 6.

I honestly feel like LI and NYC robs our snow more than Mass. Boston.

Wife is skiing at Wachusett. She was reporting freezing drizzle but it switched back over to snow

Light snow here

Lol. That write-up doesn't say snow to ice.  I read that as a small burst of snow with another sh*try low track  to brief sleet to rain.

This won't be like last week.  It gonna rain.

Yeah you avoided most of the subby hole in the big system that clocked eastern CT and MA. 4 Seasons and I were not so fortunate.

Not the greatest forecast, but deep winter week. Snowing lightly

Holy hell guys, first time all winter I can look out my window and all the trees are covered in snow, and there is enough on the ground you can't see the grass! It sure is beautiful. Looks like pixie dust still falling. I slept through the main show. I actually have no idea how much is out there. My initial guess is going to be 3 or 4. Im going to enjoy for the short amount of time it will be here...the next storms are warm and rain. This may be the only day this winter season where I have this.

[STILL N OF PIKE]

Enjoy SE Coasters!

Ah you mean this one. I see the hole.

I am actually fascinated by this winter w/r/t how unlucky we are, as well as the human component where some are in a state of euphoria with 3 to 5.

That’s Not terribly egregious. They were north of banding for a time, but I thought I saw 3+ in the area.

Agree

[CoastalWx]

5” Light fluffies right now.

[TalcottWx]

Seeing hints that ivt is coming together on radar and snow is picking up in Dorchester. It's just a matter of whether it's widespread or sort of localized and probably will be the latter. Should be mood flakes for everyone in the east though.

Energy coming down from Albany should provide a little moisture to our fanniez. 

[dendrite]

A thrilling 0.7"/0.05" so far. Starting to pick back up with the hangback midlevel RH/sfc trough.

It is certainly a study in human psychology; perhaps bordering on abnormal psychology at that lol.

[TalcottWx]

Looks like Scooter to the South Shore will 'jack' 

[powderfreak]

1.7" and vis a mile or less.  

This is pure fluff.  Wonder if we can grab 3".
