Intereesting......I'm not sure what was going on from start time until 4:30.  Perhaps I was in that band longer.

Meanwhile, not much happening now.   Hoping round 2 performs.  

I think you were like a half degree colder which made a big difference plus you may have gotten a bit beefier part of that band last night. 
 

Still thinking I may sneak double digits though if we can pick up another 4-5” of powder this afternoon. We’ll see. Accums have been pretty efficient the last couple hours. Been mostly that 3/4 mile type light snow but it’s def adding up on top of the paste now.

what did you end up with round 2 just can’t seem to get its act together for us here. 

I have no idea. I'm guessing we had around 2" when I went to bed last night, but rain/sleet compacted into a semi-liquid sludge. Round 2 has been largely non-existent, save for a few brief bursts.

getting darker outside as this next band is moving in.. kind of reminds me of a summer thunderstorm

Yeah got super dark all of a sudden, rates have picked up a little bit but going to need to do better to get any additional substantial accums

.Update...As of 9:30 AM EST...MSLP analysis now shows two
distinct areas of low pressure off the coast, one located east
of the 40/70 benchmark and another just south of Long Island
with an inverted trough extending back across the eastern
Catskills from this second surface low. At the same time, GOES
16 water vapor imagery shows the approaching upper shortwave
embedded in a longwave trough currently located over eastern PA.
As this upper shortwave tracks northeastwards through the next
couple hours, it will help to keep that second SLP minimum
tucked into the coast, and will allow the surface low to
strengthen with the arrival of better upper divergence.

so two distinct SLP, an inverted trough, and the ULL coming in the stall and strengthen the more tucked SLP, am I reading that correctly???
