The Low is tracking a bit closer to the coast than the models had it, this is good news.

Didn't snow much more after I got home, 7 o'clock last night, maybe an inch, 6" total. Hopefully there's more at Platty. I'm in Oneonta now, 88 isn't bad, a truck blew by me doing about 80, I've been able to go 55-60 comfortably.

This map appears to have OVER estimated what fell at my house up in the NE corner of CT
TV weatherman in all out defer and deflect mode about why this storm DIDN'T produce about 1/2 as much snow as they were calling for, even last night! Winds are HOWLING though!

Even at the 11th hour.
There were NWS stations INCREASING their snowfall predictions based on radar as late as 11pm, which never materialized. They would have been better had they left them alone.
Just goes to show you that man is a LONG way from accurately being able to predict the weather despite best efforts. Heck, south Jersey was supposed to get a dusting to maybe a few inches, and they got pounded the most down here!

100% open
Finally.
EDIT: Though I just went to the website and it says 14" - 16", but I like yours better! Either way, that's a spot that did verify. But there were a lot of places that overperformed and a lot of places that underperformed expectations.

Mount Snow is reporting 15" in the last 24hrs.
My unofficial observation in my yard is "Hmm, that looks like about 8" ...

- any confirmation of that 14"-16" total? TWC says 6" past 24h, Platty's website says 6-8" last night: "1.3.14Good Morning Powderhounds...we received 14-16" of NEW SNOW from this storm as another 6-8" of NEW SNOW fell just last night.." -

8" sounds right, the site says 15" Since Thursday, 8" last night: "Updated at: 01/03/2014 at 08:00 AM
Good Morning skiers and riders! We received another 8 inches of fresh snow last night bumping the total accumulation up to 15 inches since Thursday morning!!"

I'll have visual proof of Mount Snow's total later this afternoon. Of course if it's windy, I'm expecting my back deck to have between 3" and 5 feet based on how the wind hammers it

I was just going by snow totals Ski The East posted on Facebook. The 8" is my yard here in Mass.
