Now I was mostly scrolling on my phone with beer, but it seemed like the HRRR extended ranges were onto the extent of snow. Maybe a hair too cold (snow band was displaced a little south of where it actually snowed the heaviest today), but overall was sniffing out this cold conveyor location at 12z yesterday.

This one’s heavier than that first one. Fat boys flying 

[mahk_webstah]

Just absolute perfect dendrites. Softly falling out of the sky one and a half or 2 inches an hour. We are closing in 14 inches.

About 13” here near Stratton at the cabin. Pack around 20”.

Wow!  Good recovery for the Southern Vermont ski areas. 

[SouthCoastMA]

Mixing with flakes. Pulling for a coating before it ends later. 

[CoastalWx]

Pretty good banc developing for SE MA. Tblizz strikes again. 

[DomNH]

Ripping fatties.

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Steady light snow here but I think we’re done for the most part with accumulations outside of a new coating.  Probably a little over 6 inches between last night and today. 

Much needed lift to the winter spirits.

~0.75 mile visibility in Boston

and in a first for the season for the city: roads are actually starting to whiten

[OceanStWx]

One thing I noticed on modeling while chasing the kids around this weekend was the trend towards a more robust poleward exit region later in the event (i.e. today). 

Initially forcing looked mostly equatorward entrance, a classic WAA thump scenario.

But by now the dominant forcing was from the exit region of the next approaching jet streak. 

That is a class mechanism to get the banding to pivot and involve the cold conveyor.

[Baroclinic Zone]

Heaviest snow of the season right now.

[WxWatcher007]

We rock. We roll.

[wxsniss]

Best snowfall of season for Boston metro, 0.5-0.75 mile visibility

Hours of this ahead

 

 

[Modfan2]

Nice band now, starting to stick on pavement, down to 33F

[PineHillsWx]

Snowing in Plymouth, Ma as of last 30 minutes..

[HoarfrostHubb]

Typical coastal flooding going on at Long Wharf area of Boston

 

[CoastalWx]

Steady near MDT snow. Haven't had the uber bands yet as some have missed north and south. About 0.6". 

[ORH_wxman]

Utterly pounding in this band....I must be approaching 2" already eyeballing outside.

[MuddyWx]

[BostonWX]

1 inch here, 32.0/31.5, should really start sticking at this point.

It's heavy right now.

[Wx37]

Getting crushed here in Medford. Easily MDT snow. Just picked up a quick inch.

[weathafella]

Awash in a sea of fatties…

[SnowCane]

Wow just puking fatties in Cambridge now 

[ORH_wxman]

North shore is really pounding now per radar
