Common theme this year, in SNE and my hood is that when 850 is no Longer a problem; the BL is. There is no cold on the back side of this. Period.
 

It’ll flip back to snow, and most will see quite a bit falling, but a lot of it gonna go down as white rain.
 

1) Sell the clowns.

2)Hedge with 5:1 in the colder spots.

3)Don’t believe it until you see it at the stake everywhere else

My temps haven't gone over 35F though. It helps that we aren't at 40F, right?

A hair over 5”. Melting down a core now.

I have to say I’m enthusiastic about today looking at radar.  The. Dry slot in central mass is slipping off east and there are good returns to our west and a strengthening storm.  Maybe we get into a deform band with 2/hour for a bit later.  Light snow but steady and accumulating small flakes but growth slowly improving.

33 here. Hoping 2-4”

You look good for 1-4”. 1” screw zone, or 4” with some nice banding.  Still 37 here no chance for anything more than a coating.

Yes, which is why I wouldn’t expect much for most. Marginal white rain is what most will get.

Most will get accumulations.

 Noticing a pivot is starting as direction of more up is now more south north than west east

Yes, gives me 6-7 inches on the backside, yesterday's runs were giving me 2-4

[HIPPYVALLEY]

3” last night before sleet and rain, hoping to add another inch or so on today.  It’s not often I get more than Dave but the orientation of the rain snow line favored NW zones.

An inch maybe. Going to take a lot of effort to get that inch too.

[wx2fish]

11z hrrr is definitely more bullish later. Areas inland that are already 32-33, obviously favored for the higher accums.

Not where it’s 33. Will be tougher for you and I but I’m hoping for an inch.

You think the NAM is too bullish?

[kdxken]

Actually sitting at 33. Hefty thump of rain last night .73

 Now at 10 and a half inches for December and January.

rain snow line moving quick now looks like snow just west of you

[PowderBeard]

Measured about 4.5" at 6:30, cleared the driveway for the neighbors and already covered in about 2" again. Wind is starting to crank now. I just went to the gas station and there was traffic stopped in a few places due to visibility, definitely less than 100 yards at times.

7” here. Not bad given we just had an advisory

Scalp fest right now!  Hopefully flip to snow but pelting sleet with a few flakes mixed for the time being. 

[DavisStraight]

It's frustrating, I've been at 33-34 since yesterday and have brown ground. I'll be happy if it flips to a couple solid inches later.

What resource are you using to see that? Any that I've used... well they suck

I think because the criteria has changed. So 8” is the cutoff for WSW up by you.

Dual pol is great. I use radarscope on mobile. Here is what I use for desktop.

32.7 at home...had risen to about 33.3.

Different world here at work in Chelsea....barren of snow, save for a few meager piles that scream "We have a contract and needed an excuse to use the plow for once".

Guessing still about a 4" soggy pack at home with still a decent amount on trees.

[Typhoon Tip]

1.5"  ... so far.  We'll see later on.

32.5

12" on the season

34-35 15 miles to your south, hoping maybe an inch in grassy surfaces

radarscope

[dendrite]

Melted 7am core was 5.1”/0.45”

That weenie Northfield cocorahs guy can gtfo here with that 7.2”/0.52”. 

[HoarfrostHubb]

No power here.  A few shotgun blasts during the night.  1 tiny bar of LTE

Maybe an inch or 1.5” of snow.  Other than that it has been rain and freezing rain

will it flip back to snow at some point?

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Flipping to snow now.  33/30

wwlp webcam shows fat flakes there

[MarkO]

Looking at my webcam in Lowell it looks like it barely snowed. Eyeballing about 3" in Thornton. Supposedly another 2-4" today. 25.9/24

[tunafish]

29.7° and IP

Measured 2.6" new (0.57 liquid- all IP) at 7A for 4.3" total (0.77 liquid). 

Depth is at 11"

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Pouring snow now. Hopefully this continues to progress Southeast and everybody gets in on it.
