It is when you go from snow and glaze on trees to nothing visible literally down the street.

This stuff coming off trees shows this was a solid icing . That’s easily .35 -.40. The morning sun after an icing event always aesthetically pleasing .

That would explain why it looks like hail on the ground and not sleet. Massive balls. 

[HoarfrostHubb]

Front steps, walkway and driveway all iced up from that later burst.  Some flakes coming down now from the north.

 

Temps are up (31F) but will be dropping

The big gusts are lifting sheets of ice off of buildings in downtown Greenfield. Pedestrians beware.

[radarman]

Lots of power and internet disturbances here.  The UPS helps but the wired internet is down locally.  Work from home FTL.

1973 was actually a coastal too but not like 2008 was. It was more elongated but def still a coastal storm. 

1973 was one of the weirdest storms I've experienced, a coastal that dove inland as it reached Maine.  While much of western SNE was in the dark listening to trees being destroyed, and my parent in NNJ had light sleet and low teens, in BGR we had 3" rain and mid 50s.

98 wasn’t a big deal here I don’t think.   (From Hubb Dave)

That system had one of the most interesting south to north gradient:
NYC area had moderate RA and 50s-60s.
SNE had cold RA with 30s-low 40s.
Southern Maine had a moderate ice storm and low 30s.
Central Maine and inland Downeast had their worst ice storm on record, temps upper 20s.
Foothills/Mountains had moderate ice and loads of IP, temps low-mid 20s.
Aroostook had 5-6 days of modest (9:1) ratio SN, 18-27" total with temps from singles to low 20s.
 

Our two-act snowfall was a double bust, mainly due to lack of qpf.  Discussions had qpf at 0.5-0.75 for #1 and about half that for #2.  We had 0.17" and 0.12" respectively, thus 2.5" from a 5-9 forecast and 1.3" from 2-4, for a total of 3.8" with combined forecast of 7-13.  Consistent underperforming is not the pattern we prefer.

One of my better efforts, as I had it pretty much nailed down on Sunday.

Those numbers aren’t final.  Bos doubled what you see there.
