The western flank is now moving east fairly rapidly again. Expecting CAPE to be able to hold on to heavy snow for another few hours at least and surpass 12”

Last hour or so has been meh. Just a steady light snow. Was expecting some banding late morning/early afternoon but has not materialized. Curious to know how much snow has fallen south and east of here. Radar has looked more impressive.

Is that a thing that happens during snow? I’ve been seeing the same.

Snow takes a while to fall 5k feet and the radar beam returns are from well off the ground. It's really obvious with snow squall lines that blow thru. Yellows overhead and nothing in the air, followed by an immediate meltdown here, then quickly followed up with a "scratch last post it's dumping" lol

Same here in Easton.  Very fine flakes but steady for a while now.  Radar seems to wanna get a nice band up here shortly though.

Crazy band Southeast of you, as you are aware, but maybe the end of the storm will have a decent band when it passes from West to East.  Congrats on your big snowfall ! Pic looks awesome down there !

Obligatory deck pic from about an hour ago. Around 8".

Awesome pic.

Glad for everyone in the southern part of the subforum. that is cashing in today.

I know it's been a rough few years in the southern areas.

Hopefully we can get a region wide event later this week.

My mom has 6.5" in Pasadena 

Solid 8 in" across the river from her.

We may have lost a rose bush. Went out to knock all the snow off of our trees and boxwoods and found the rose bush laying dead flat and looking very perturbed.
