[Huck_It_Baby]

Woke up to 2-3 inches already in Colchester, Vt. Coming down nice and steady!

 

[Boston Bulldog]

Snowing at Bowdoin as I prepare to make the trek to SR

 

[WWF-VT]

10 degrees, about 3 inches of snow and snowing hard now at 7:30 AM at the base of Mt Ellen. Snow phone not making any predictions on potential storm totals

 

[jaywbigred]

An inch on the ground and lightly snowing at the base of Carinthia at Mt. Snow.

It's snowing pretty hard in western NJ already.

This is WAY earlier than it was supposed to start snowing. I'm taking that as a positive sign!! Most were saying "mix" here until late this afternoon, some were saying "mix" until 7pm.

Smart for me to not go to work today, hopefully unemployment check for when their stupid as# fires me.

Close to an inch on the ground here in central CT. Hopefully getting on the road around noon. I assume CT and MA will at least keep 91 in good shape.

An inch on the ground and lightly snowing at the base of Carinthia at Mt. Snow.

Interesting...3 miles south of the mountain we've got a very fine mist and just a dusting on the ground so far.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Whiteface just reported in 10" new.... already!

Wow thats awesome.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Wow thats awesome.

Absolutely.

But I'm also hearing wonky chatter that the merging of the two storms isnt going as perfectly as expected, that the northern branch is slower than thought, which means snow totals will have to come down a bit for pretty much everywhere except southern New England.

For instance, where I live, NWS had 10-14 last night, and they've now pulled it down to 6-8. They essentially cut the snow in half! We'll see. It's not like they havent been wrong before......... a LOT. Lol.

 

[jrmagic]

All we can do is wait and see. I certainly hope that the wonky chatter is off the mark.

Agreed. But there's a lot of conflicting options and analysis right now. Like, now you have the NWS just putting this out.

THE AXIS OF THE HEAVIEST SNOW MAY BE SHIFTING EVER SO SLIGHTLY MORE WEST AND NORTH THAN CURRENT FORECAST

So, at least that bit would be incrementally good news for ski country. Any northward or westward shifts would be awesome.

They essentially cut the snow in half!

Yeah, but that is the norm and to be expected. Whenever I see an accumulation forecast for 2-3 days out I automatically cut the projection in half. That tends to end up matching reality in most cases.

Snowing at a good clip here in NNJ and has been since about 7:30 this morning (about an inch so far 700' above sea level). Leaving for the Pocono's in about an hour. Supposed to get 10+ UP there. Skiing was good up there yesterday so it should only be getting better.

Lake Hopatcong, NJ

4+ so far here in the St Lynburyopolis. That already matches the low end of predictions for this region.

 

[jrmagic]

Regardless of final totals, at least it didn't go way out to sea making it a bust. Its all good from here but of course hoping for high end amounts throughout ski country. Its been snowing here in central westchester since I woke up with about an inch and a half on the ground.

 

[Abubob]

What's this I hear about Mass roads closing to traffic after 4 pm Friday?

 

[BenedictGomez]

Yeah, but that is the norm and to be expected. Whenever I see an accumulation forecast for 2-3 days out I automatically cut the projection in half. That tends to end up matching reality in most cases.

This was from last night at midnight to this morning at 10am that the National Weather Service cut it in 1/2.

I still think they may be wrong. For every panicking Met lowering their snow totals, there seems to be a Met staying the course.

1:50 pm, almost 2 inches here in the Highlands of NJ and beginning to crank. The local hills will be fun with the kids tomorrow and Sunday.
