Looks like a small event, but places as far east as Boston will recieve accumulating snow Saturday. The Worcester area could get 6". It might not reach the mountains, so it looks like a southern NE event.

It began snowing 5 minutes ago here in Rutland, MA, but it has temporarily gone over to rain. Hopefully it changes back over just as quickly.

EDIT... what do you know? It's back over to snow in about 30 seconds.

Stopped for now, but there's a nice slug a few miles away.

Nothing here in Northwest CT. A bust, I'd say...

NEVER TRUST THE RADAR!!!!!

Currently, every radar shows a slug of rain/snow all the way back to the Connecticut River. I'm in Worcester watching the sunset. What the hell is going on with that? I WANT TO THROW A MILKSHAKE AT EVERY WEATHERMAN IN NE RIGHT NOW! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Boston got quite a bit of snow today and the current temp is 29. WHAT'S WITH THAT? Why should I be going EAST to find snow and not WEST? They really effed up this forecast.

Started snowing in Douglas around 4:30. Started very light...then got to big flakes dropping straight down. It almost covered the dround before letting up and eventually stopping just befor 6.

I was out raking in the yard...still got leaves and other yard work to do before I crank up the winter fun.

Snowed like a monkey here in Boston, and as far west as Northboro today, from about 11 am to 5 pm. Only slushy accumulation, though. Still, good to see, and I made all the dweebs at Ski Market in Framingham jealous saying I'm going to WIldcat tomorrow.

I was just watching FOX25 news. The weatherguy was like "a very surprise snow today". Yes, A SURPRISE YOU BLEW THE FORECAST AGAIN! Damn, I was waiting all week for today because it was gonna snow. I waited till 4 and finally, it snowed. FOR 3 MINUTES.

Well, what I'm hearing is some snow Tuesday night with the cold front. Until then, it's temps in the 60s and 70s. That should be an event where things happen correctly and the places AWAY from the drink get the most snow.

Well, today was already the 3rd Nor'Easter of the season (and the 3rd this week) so it's been an active start. I hope it's like this in December and January when it's cold enough for the snow to stick and not do what it did last year.
