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

In a rocking chair holding a shot gun? Last name McCoy?

How much new since this morning?

[TalcottWx]

Ice is beautiful until the power goes out. 

This is the most ice I've ever seen in my life lol. We don't get it much in Boston, duh. Very cool.

Not sure, was my first measurement.Assumed it had compacted / melted by ~.25 inches. Still going pretty good here, I'm about halfway between E Milton square and lower mills. Seems like around quincy center is where things kind of stalled out.

Picked Up another half inch in the OES earlier. Not really in the band anymore but still some steady snizzle. Everything covered really nice. 
 

Temp rotting at 24F

Looks same as here.

Finally down to 32 and a good burst of snow trying to re-coat.

The only precip within 400 miles of New England is on the northern border heading east.  I can’t imagine we get anything tonight.

where will the projected precip come from, out of thin air? Well maybe actually.

[Lava Rock]

Radar looks like cuccka. Is 2-3" tonite even on the table still?

[ORH_wxman]

Nice temp gradient today…80 at IAD and 78 at BWI

If you don't see any returns between 8-10pm tonight then be concerned i guess.

Last of today's ice pics... Blades of my Rainwise anemometer covered in ice with ice extending outward... Every blade of grass encased in ice and nice ice fan emanating from one of my snow stakes...

[BostonWX]

Snow picking back up here nicely, temp up to 30.7.

[dryslot]

Looks like -SN at Mia Casa, 14/10°F

[CoastalWx]

Finally below 32 lol. At least trees are coated a bit.

Very similar look in the hills on both sides of the river in terms of icing amounts. Let’s grab a little more overnight

Snow, 16 degrees. Deep winter has returned.

Such a big difference lol. Although it's whitened up a bit now. Did you have snow on the trees like that earlier?

Afternoon max was 13-14" and it's down a couple from that, but the max will be the 24° from 9:01 last evening.   
9 hours of occasional S-- since 7 AM has failed to produce measurable snow, but it picked up a tiny bit in the last few minutes.  Radar makes the current echoes look more like a forerunner of the evening event than part of last night's snow.

The southern 3 rows of counties in Michigan had a bad ice storm yesterday. Worst ice storm in 50 years in Detroit. The beauty is incredible but the destruction sucks. I lucked out with my trees, others didnt.

Those last two pictures are awesome. Yes please! Now that is an icestorm. What was accretion? Looks like close to 1”

Was following that... Nasty... Ice accumulation can be so amazing, unfortunately heavy icing leads to big headaches and heartbreak.

 

 

[CoastalWx]

Probably a few tenths additional now. Looks pretty at least.

[BostonWX]

Still snowing here lightly, ~2.75 event total.  30.2
