I mean last night.

Yeah I was not feeling it and it worked out better. I did not expect a shut out, but was thinking 2-4" best. I'll end up over 6 new. At least we know the mid level rule worked. I admit once it burned me last year, but it's works well because there is science behind it.

Still coming down at a good clip in North Andover. Probably the best its come down in round 2 as the WW warning expires :blink: 

Does LWM not report snow totals?

that's funny that Fiskdale only got 3.5". We used to live there (sturbridge) and recall getting low end totals sometimes similar to the Valley, but they got screwed this time

9" total snow here, has slightly settled but an 8" depth right now. A bit of a gradient around here it seems as I was just down near the Cheshire line and they def had a bit less there... maybe more like 5-6" depth.

Yep. I'm on the south side of town about 1/4' from the Cheshire line and had 6". Pretty good north to south gradient up the Farmington valley reflected in the NWS snow totals.

Map does not accurately depict totals across western Hartford County and eastern Litchfield County; I had 15 total in Burlington (western Hartford Cty and Harwinton in eastern Litchfield Cty has 14"... BOX has not updated my total...

So close to my west but none for me on this last band.  I'll have to blow out the slop the plows leave but thats about it.  I think I'm at 17"

Really appreciate your forecast Ray and taking the time to share your thoughts. In addition, thanks to all of the mets on this board that provide such thoughtful and excellent insight that you can't get anywhere else. 

Ended with around 14" in Framingham but hard to tell because of some compaction from yesterday. Cool storm but a PITA to track.

How much did NYC get?  Did Ray nail it or was his bias showing through?

Central Park officially 1.6”. My backyard a little under 3”, Long Island and NYC generally 1-3”. Was a lousy storm here where we knew we would be on the short end days ago and relying on whatever rotated around the low. But nice start to winter anyway.

Don't think many models were able to nail done those bands, But i wasn't paying much attention.

The lesson that you take away from this system, and it is a lesson that has to be constantly harped about, is that modeling will more often than not do poorly on the placement of these meso bands.  They will show you the well known pattern features that imply significant banding should occur, but they will struggle or just completely fail on getting the location and often the intensity of the banding correct.  The upper air components were screaming banding for days with this setup and folks were living and dying each model run on where the banding was being depicted by admiring qpf or clown snowfall projection maps.  In the end, the take-away is use the modeled 500/700/850 forecast tracks & configuration to forecast the likelihood of banding but only give general hints at where it might end up.  Then it becomes a nowcast deal as the banding starts to tip its hand; late yesterday afternoon and very early in the evening, nowcasting using mainly the SPC meso analysis page you could see how and where the banding was going to setup.  I expect the models to miss the banding location(s) more times than not; we have seen it numerous times over the years.  With this system most if not all of the primary models were screaming banding if you looked at the 500/700/850 forecasts.  But it almost always comes down to nowcasting for the final outcome.
