So, up to 3.0" at 1:30 am, meaning 0.75" the last hour, with greater intensity, obviously, and the radar continues to look quite good, with moderate to almost heavy snow coming down - probably 3/8 of a mile visibility. Down to 27F.

And now up to 3.75" as of 2:30 am, for another 3/4" in the last hour.  After measuring, which was difficult with the 20-30 mph winds moving the snow around so much, I went ahead and did my first shovel of the storm.  I love shoveling in the dead of night without a soul around, in the perfect silent beauty of a gorgeous snowscape (in what's usually a busy town).  And it gives me an excuse to be out in the snow.  Was snowing moderately most of the time - we've been right on the edge of going consistently over 20 dBZ, but the band just won't quite get over us, although it's certainly better than 15 miles NW of me.  Down to 25F.

As of 3:30 am, we're up to 4.25", as we got 1/2" last hour with somewhat diminished intensity, although the radar and my eyeballs are indicating intensity picking back up again now. Really want to get into some of those 1"+ per hour bands that look to only be 15-20 miles SE of me. Down to 24F.

To my amateur eyes it looks like it's beginning to yeah.

that makes 4 amateur eyes if you include me,,,,,,watching the radar and reading so many people on here and on social media talking about how they are getting buried as I type is painful to watch and read but at least I didn't get shut out up here in Rockland as "some" predicted
