Turned from light snow to dumping in the MRV about twenty minutes ago. I know we're only supposed to get 5-8, but it looks pretty serious at the moment.

THAT'S what I wanted to hear! puking on the cape right now. calling for 9-14". No one here knows what to do. I'm under house arrest because even going anywhere near when it's snowing could cause death.

Just started snowing here! For the record Loon was a lot of fun today! There a lot of British folks here visiting, I am glad that they can enjoy these conditions!

30 degrees and freezing rain..it looks like a possible changeover back to snow this evening..alot more precipitation on the way..

 

[roark]

puking super fine tiny flakes in SW NH now.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

31 degrees..moderate freezing rain...between a tenth and two tenths of an inch of ice in the past hour..I can hear my neighbors chipping away at the ice on their windshields..I have a pair of crampons at work that I've used before setting monuments on a hill so I won't slip..I might have to pick those up and walk around the hood.

inch/hour snow-fall rate right now on Burke Mt. Started lighter @ 3pm on the nose.

Been dumping here for the better part of the last 2 hours. A few inches already and no stop in sight. 8-16" is the NOAA forecast here. After that, bring on Sunday!

 

[Warp Daddy]

Dumping here too now for about an hr

 

[denvervega]

About 6 in. on the ground here ("here" is almost exactly halfway btwn. Plattekill & Belleayre), but slowing down. Fine sugar falling as I write. Hopefully it will recharge & dump some more.

 

[Johnskiismore]

Three inches and coming down steadily

 

[KingM]

No way we're only getting 4-8 inches like they were saying. I think we're at 8 already, it's still dumping, and the radar shows we're still in the middle of it. That's the kind of error I like to see.

The weather channel was saying Blizzard conditions in your area....Right now it's 30 degrees and all the slop on the ground is freezing solid..I don't plan on driving anywhere tonight..the roads are slick and I don't want some random idiot sliding into me..I can walk to Dunkin Donuts..

 

[Johnskiismore]

Snow's still coming down, looking great! Going to go out in a little while and take pictures of the lights on the bushes under the snow!

I would agree with that forecast lol. it's a little under 30 here, but all the snow is staying dry and is packing down fairly well.
