Actually, for some this could be one of the biggest of the season. that's not too good if one misses out.

I think NNE will be fine in the end  but that's true.

Yeah this is a great pattern for NNE, they are really going to get buried this month.

lots of convection off the NJ coast blowing up... transfer underway?

[Spanks45]

The Nams look odd, especially down in SWCT....Barely any snowfall for NYC area either, odd

I hate to say it but it looks like 3-4" max based on meso models and radar.

Not wrong just delayed with the taint.

If it was supposed to happen earlier and prevent accumulations, then it was wrong.

It's delayed. Taint will still work in.

A good portion of NYC apparently is already up to ~2” thanks to impressive rates (1-2”/hour). Snowlovers there quite happy right now.

Snow was supposed to start here between 5-8 pm…it’s 8 and not here yet?  We wait. 

Bust!

I'd rather positive bust an advy then negative bust a warning.  3-6" here final call.  Moving quick, meso QPF red flags, less than 10:1 with lift not ideally aligned with the DGZ, maybe some downsloping on easterly flow.

3-6" cake flour is a great event regardless IMO, but selling bigger totals here IMBY right now.

Take em down I think.

Yeah, storm is hauling.  Hoping to hit 6” but glad it’s snowing regardless of totals. 

[Torch Tiger]

is this turning into a 1-3/2-4 type deal for many? wow

Several days ago I forecasted 5-8” for this area (MHT/ASH/CON).

what’s your forecast for that area?

7.5” here, although not sure what MHT, ASH, or CON got

[moneypitmike]

This just in:

West Warwick, Bristol, Narragansett, Westerly, and Newport
851 AM EST Sun Feb 9 2025

...FINAL BAND OF SNOW WILL BE MOVING ACROSS THE REGION THIS
MORNING...

A band of steady light to moderate snow was rotating south across
central and eastern Massachusetts. This band will move across
eastern Connecticut, Rhode Island and southeast Massachusetts
before ending between 10 am and noon. Additional snowfall will
mostly be under one half inch, but localized 1 inch amounts are
possible.

Good time to put the closing thoughts on this thread.

the Iggles flew high.

A good number of weenies got to high five though not as many as I hoped.

Thanks for letting me start a thread.

Let’s see if indeed this storm is the first of a decent run over the next few weeks

Congrats!

I think most here were thrilled not to see a 3peat!

Total beat down.  Congrats Mark!

[Massplow]

It won’t let me post the map but the nws map from 216 pm on Saturday had Boston in 7-12 inches of snow. How can they possibly be that off that close in??

5.5 isn’t that far off of the bottom of the range fwiw.
