We get them fairly frequently. Sometimes with a dusting, sometimes with several inches. The inv trough was maybe an extra inch or two for ern areas. It may not come together as modeled, but we shall see later this morning.

A lot of areas to the north and west of NYC also was skunked last night where Upton has a few inches.

I'm sitting at 8.1 right now. I had 5.3 inches in November and only 2.8 during the winter months.

Sad

Yup very sad Ant!!  Holy crap 8.1 on the year to date...might end up worse than 11-12 there???  

If we get no more snow this season, I’m about where 11-12 finished off right now.  I’m ready for this crap to end too.  If there’s a big one in the pipeline somewhere over the next month..fine.  If not, no more 1 inch sh*t shows for me please.

Right now the Mid Atlantic might do better than us up here.

Maybe in NYC. But we don’t live there .

This one gets me up to 25.1 on the season . We’ll see if the IVT adds anymore today 

[Greg]

2.8" here in Wilmington, MA as of 8:45 AM.  We'll see if we can squeeze another inch or two throughout the day today.

Who are u there with 

[The Graupler]

The storm didn’t look big but I’m thinking if you weighed every flake that fell on the east coast of Massachusetts you’d see it would be rather heavy 

[Baroclinic Zone]

AM folks.  4" for TAN.  Did not stay up for snows.  Woke up around 6"and it sounded like sleet out but it was more like heavily rimed flakes.  Want to say that was just after the band exited east.  So I think once we lost the lift, we were left with crappy snow growth.  Snow was on the wetter/denser side then a dry powder.  You could here the flakes falling in the trees.   

[powderfreak]

Huge dendrites...about an inch so far.

You do realize Wednesdays storm is going to be a rainstorm for everyone. The initial precip is what we are all watching.

[dendrite]

Looks like it’s going to ramp back up here soon. Pushing 1”.

Actually no it’s not. It’s snow to ice. Again we don’t live in NYC or on the water 

 

Wednesday night and Thursday ...

Parent low enters the Great Lakes while secondary low forms along
the Mid Atlc coast and moves northeast along or near the CT/RI/MA
coastline early Thu before moving offshore Thu afternoon. Column is
initially cold enough to support snow but with mid level low
tracking well NW of southern New England, mid level warm air invades
the region changing snow to a wintry mix inland as secondary low
traps low level cold air.However
along the south coast should be enough low level warming for snow to
rain with temps climbing well into the 40s. Not a major storm by any
means but may have enough snow/wintry mix away from the south coast
for some travel impacts. As of now it looks like the bulk of the
precip occurs after the Wed evening commute and before the Thu
morning rush hour. However given the time range here (72+ hrs out),
the forecast timing will likely change by at least a few hours.

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.
