all done now, but that area of decent echoes has been parked over the berks for a grip, any word on if it's producing?

It kept shooting light showers NE to me for over an hour and a half so yeah, it might be

Started snowing just after noon way up here in the Champlain Valley. Just passed 2 inches.  Subcritical flow is trapping some moisture in the lowest levels for us (sorry for you all east of the Greens, all ur vape belongs to us) and flake quality is increasing. Next few hours should be nice.  4” by noon tomorrow would be a nice overbust up here. 
I'm too lazy to put my boots back on to take a nice Christmas lights pic so I’ll just post a pic of the car after banzai’ing around in the snow running errands. Fun!

Yeah about 1.5" of sparkling fluff here east of the Spine.  Still light snow but likely in the flurry visibility range.  Did have a couple good bursts of moderate snow but they were short-lived.

Anyone know how much fell at Logan? It looks like 4.8 on the PNS map

I know it was over 4 but not sure of the exact total

Maybe a half inch here. Just a brutal start from MHT S&E  to 495 around here. I think it's snowed 5 or 6 times for 1.5" total. 

The Nashoba Valley is almost as brutal - 3/4" today in Townsend, 4 1/2" on the season (3" on the 12/5 was a gift). Yes, the lower Merrimack Valley including SE NH is wayyyy overdue for some goods.

The greater Boston area was at least as snow-starved and I'm glad they cashed in a bit today.

Yeah seeing the city of Boston in the jackpot stripe was pretty cool. They’d been getting porked historically bad the last two seasons and this setup screamed of them getting porked again but not this time, they were just barely on the right side of it for once. And getting it just before a cold shot leading into Xmas was a bonus…locking in their first White Xmas since 2017.

I haven’t had one since 2019. It’s been pretty ugly. N ORH county i think had one in 2022. 

[amarshall]

Once again got my hopes up. Let down horribly .

Yes! (3)

There must be 5”+ in back bay easily. Tough to tell with the city and all but looks awesome.

[CoastalWx]

Should be snowing good at home. I’ll take the snow I guess.

Yeah. We had a pretty squally/windy event on the 23rd that gave me around 3-4”. Did some damage around here from the wind.  

We also had some melting and a flash freeze.

Sneaky event.  Classic on-shore QPF look for the low level flow.

5.5 is my probable final but it is still snowing lightly

Blocking in full swing down here.

Congrats to the Boston peeps.  About an inch here with bonus points for wintry appeal through much of the day

6.75" is my final total, still snowing very lightly.

[WxWatcher007]

@40/70 Benchmark your total?

[FlashFreeze]

25° and about a quarter inch of snow for the day

[rimetree]

Too far north here for anything decent. Just a coating to brighten things up a bit. 24/20

[CoastalWx]

.4” here.   .7” total. Huge difference from Braintree there. Never seen that before. Like 3 miles you go from deep winter to coated up. 

[CoastalWx]

Probably gets me back from the years beating Logan. Glad they got the 4” monkey off their back,  but we still hold it there. Rare event.

Thanks.  Many times my hood is in the snow hole, so nice to jack once in a while.

My father in law works at curry college in Milton and he says 7-8” there. I believe him.
