Weenie Northfield guy strikes again. 7.2" at 8am? lolol

4.5" here.  That includes the 1/2" that has faller in the last 4 hours.  That's just an absurd observation.

[CoastalWx]

Been stuck at 33 for hours.

Don't like working with slippery chainsaws but darn if it isn't pretty.

Ya, with better than 10:1 loaf and SB could do 4-7" tonight. In which case the bust wouldn't be so bad, but I'm guessing there was a lot of disappointed skiers this morning who were expecting to wake up to 8-12". Hopefully for folks on vacation they wake up to a surprise tomorrow.

Someone else that didn't have weenie goggles got a hold of the map for overnight, Much more reasonable then the one earlier this morning.

Getting some intermittent flakes mixed in with the freezing drizzle in Avon. A very small amount of flakes tho. 

30F at home in Simsbury. 

[BostonWX]

Nicely glazed here, 31.2. Snow growth is pretty good in this OES band too. Seems like that low level cold front is stalling overhead enhancing snow growth.

[Damage In Tolland]

Temp down to 28. This ice will be on the trees for days . Get a little more accretion tonight

I know there were some disappointed snowmobilers.

Icy easy facing window panes; no ice on adjacent (left side of pic) window panes facing north... Kind of neat...

Sad state of affairs here looking at that oes. I'm at one of my low points of the winter for sure. Also battling off that RSV garbage that ripped through my office. Cold from hell basically

Yep... At 1140' here; once down the street a bit to 700 much less impressive

Im guessing it should collapse toward hingham area in the next hour and shut the snow off here.

Lol... You're right... Has that open prairie look!  Sitting at 1140' with lots of open old farm land...

This was modeled well. I don’t think it moves much. Maybe near me. Was hoping it would come by, but 22/23 has decided otherwise. Maybe later on today.

It’s awesome. I’d absolutely love that view especially if it’s toward the west. 

Below freezing at home.

It gets better; in the summer when horses are out in the field and they are haying the fields bordering our property... I usually sit on the patio, chew on a piece of straw and spit a lot... lol

I used to come up to this spot to snap pics of lightning, ice and measure snow for years.  Once the lot went up for sale, I jumped on it...

[klw]

7.0 seems to be the final total here.  No sleet ever mixed in so it was a breeze to clear the driveway. very light mist going on but not enough to glaze anything.

Yes... The lots are the highest buildings lots in Hartford County... 

[BostonWX]

Closing in on ~ 1.75/2 inches total. 31.1/30.9 and still some decent snow growth.

Agreed.  Also depends if tonight's round is included in those though too.

Like this is what the GFS has from 12pm today onward.  I always was including the second round in the forecast but I looked at BTV ended their initial forecast this afternoon which wouldn't include this stuff.  I think most of the ski areas can get another 2-4" tonight... but the northern tier busted badly last night.  CoCoRAHS around Jay Peak was only 1-2" on both stations.

That 0.3" qpf with the storm #1's 15:1 ratio would be very nice, but 2-4 is the logical forecast.

19.8F  Light snow grains.  I'm just under 6".   Meanwhile nice 80F in DC
