And just like that it shut off. Measured in 5 or 6 different spots, finished up with somewhere between 16-17". Snowpack in the yard is measuring 24-26" deep. Someone in New Gloucester probably got 18"+.

Jeez, nice!  What a storm for the places modeled to get it.  Finished with 4-5" up this way.

4” final 

First 3.0 was wet but the last inch was powdery and blowing everywhere . That gets me to 11” YTD. Makes me feel dirty . Took another just now as the wind drifted it a bit more 

Doesn’t have to be deep winter, that landscape looks worlds better than before. Glad you guys scored some down there.  Reach around was not a Fraud 5 today.

Took a few pics when out shoveling

I was thinking the same thing today, it would have been nice to get this 3rd week of December.

My sister only got 3-4 inches in York, I thought for sure she would get 6-12. Coast must have influenced more than I thought.

It’s amazing what just a few inches of snow does for the soul . Just not used to going almost 2 months between plowable events here. I know it’s happened , I just hope this doesn’t become more normal like it is down in NYC to DC

Almost 4" new, 4.2" technically with the snow before changeover yesterday. There's more in the hilly spots, but I'm at 160'

Sorry for your loss.

All it takes is the grass covered for full mood enhancement.  Will’s photos too, sweet.  We all bust balls but at heart we all are snow weenies so it’s good to see so many having white landscapes tonight.

Hopefully you guys can grab a few on the front end of the next one and then hold in the 30s.  You’ll come out with pack.

I don't believe him. He wanted the snow for himself. He's really not as nice as he comes off as.

Need a few Messenger bangs East to ensure that. This seems like SWFE light instead of a heavy. So it’s 2-4” for most of SNE instead of 2-4 to 4-8 south to north

Looks awesome out there. Wet snow ftw. Probably near or just over 3”

[kevin1927]

Great event.

 

[Sey-Mour Snow]

.3 in the books just a little coating on the grass.  But it snowed for about 6 hours. Hopefully we can get our first plowable of the season Wednesday. 

[metagraphica]

1.25" final here. Interesting to see just a mile down the road and 200' lower in elevation there's basically nothing on the ground or cars.

[weathafella]

3.5 here.  More than expected.

The sleet line parked over PWM area, WSW to ENE from midnight to 10AM.  Moved as far north as Gorham at one point.  South of that I think was raining that whole time.  That was the difference from York to PWM to Lava/dryslot/PowderBeard land

Glad to see this event got a wider area into some snow. Grabbed an inch last night before the transition to ice and rain and then about 3.5 today. Finally got to break out the snowblower too. 31/28
