12/20-21 Clipper/Coastal Nowcast and Obs

[Layman]

Ended up with easily (almost) a tenth of an inch from this last night.  You could still see some of the individual flakes doing their best to avoid touching each other on our porch roof this morning.  Completely gone by early afternoon and I question if it actually even happened.

Nantucket had 3 fucking inches?? Time to wrap Christmas lights around me as I take a bath. 

[BostonWX]

Definitely around 7 inches near MQE area at 200-300 feet . Around 5 here closer to lower mills at ~ 100 feet. Looked like 2/3 Quincy and Braintree area and basically 0 once you cross the fore river bridge.

So effing Nantucket gets a white Christmas.  This hobby blows.

Cobblestoned lamp-lit Beacon hill is pretty iconic too

Anyway, not necessarily agreeing with this list (methodology was by showing people photos), but here were top cities:

Wonder if they included all the homeless and junkies on Comm ave

So stop posting bro…you have more posts than anybody.  Take a break, and un-F’n plug.

Forecast for Friday missed the 3-6"+ enhanced area along the north shore and into Boston, as well as the 1-3" over the cape and islands. Just didn't have the time or will to update the original map as the forecast shifted late in the game, but it is what it is.

Final Grade: D

Decent.  Kids in Gloucester County saw a few flakes - need to have a Jersey-wide dump.

Was trying to keep it clean for the kids. I had some other words that came to mind seeing that map.

Drove literally 1 or 2 miles down rt130 yesterday to 'interior' Sandwich and they will likely have a white Christmas, with close to an inch. quite the difference over a short distance

It is what it is. Before anybody chastises me, I could have used this in more ways than one. I’m over it now, just disappointed.

The only one growling at you is the Wolf, he might be tired this morning.

It's in the sig, and expecting another 2-3 of fluff tomorrow night.  Pack got up to 16" early in the month, down to 7 at present.

That's not an issue for me - I don't carry a smartphone.  

Total snowfall is 25.2", with an 8" paste job Thanksgiving night and a 3-6 forecast turning into 3+6 on 12/5.
