As WAR expands, do our snow chances increase? First wave may produce a middling event-solid advisory and possible low end warning for MLK Weekend

You never know....still-born snow storms may grow on me with time.

[NeonPeon]

Snowing nicely once the lull ended. There was zero mixing.

It’s snowing in Newport?

[bwt3650]

Just about 5” total in NJ and down to flurries.
Complete dry powder here above the first inch. Been a while since a moderate, cold, dry January snow. Not quite jay upslope, but surprisingly light. 22 degrees. Good luck up north; there’s some legit bands in there.

Great job with the storm. You got the dub.  2-4” will do it for most around us, probably 4”+ in that 700mb band that clipped Litchfield and then 4”+ band somewhere in NE CT

[ineedsnow]

getting some good banding over me now..  things look to be done by 12-1

Radar looks good there for a couple of hours.

[H2Otown_WX]

Probably won't crack 4" here, disappointing but we overperformed all winter so this was bound to happen. Congrats eastern peeps.

I think that's my max too but I'll take it, looks like winter and we got some good cold coming in.

1.8" here. Flakes were kinda rimed for a bit, some density in it. Dumping dendies right now tho 

[40/70 Benchmark]

Dendrite will get like 8-9"...probably about the jack.

[ineedsnow]

over 3 now and dumping! awesome snow growth

[BombsAway1288]

Changed over around 745. About 1.5” but the snow growth has been pretty shitty the last 30 min. Some better flakes starting to mix in, we’ll see how the next couple of hours go

[Baroclinic Zone]

Should be some fun overnight

[Bryan63]

Changing over finally. 

[PowderBeard]

A dusting in Auburn when I left the rink, hit a wall of snow on the way home and pushing 3" in the driveway. Wasnt expecting this so early.

BOX 9:20 Discussion:

920 PM Update...

* 1-2" Snowfall Rates through midnight-1 AM across much of
  eastern MA and RI with lighter snow thereafter

The rain/snow line continues to collapse southeast this evening
and was along and southeast of a Fall River to Hanover line.
We should see that changeover area move across the Cape Cod
Canal through 11 pm. Even the Cape should see a brief burst of
snow after midnight.

The guidance continues to indicate very strong frontogenesis
just northwest of a backbent warm front at 850 mb. This will
result in 1-2" per hour snowfall rates across the Boston to
Providence corridor through midnight/1 am. While the heaviest of
the snow should be over by that time...another batch of lighter
snow will push through and should exit the coast between 4
and 7 am.

Temperatures will continue to tumble and be in the teens to the
lower 20s in most locations by daybreak. So even though the
accumulating snow will be over by the Mon AM commute...untreated
roads will be snow covered and slippery.

We did not make any changes to the snow accumulations. This
looks to be a 3-6"/4-8" type of deal for many locations around
and northwest I-95. Even a few slushy inches are possible around
parts of Cape Cod.
