Snow totals so far anyone?

Only about 4-5" in Wolfeboro, NH. Seems like more as I go out and shovel and by the time I am done there is already another inch on it. But the radar looks like it is going to change in an hour or so here. I'm saying 2:30ish.

Snow totals so far anyone?

We have about 3 inches in Boston and it just changed to rain:(

[upthesaukee]

Just before 4PM, we have 5 inches of new snow. A look at the weather radar shows the "pink stuff" on a line from Rochester to just above Manchester and then points west, moving north

Temps have steadily risen from the very low single digits at 7 AM and currently is about 18 degrees, and still snowing. Flakes are getting bigger and the snow is getting wetter.

Fun fun fun :rolleye1:.

We've got about 5-6 " so far seems to be turning to rain now.

We have close to 10" on the ground now, and it is starting to mix a little now. Very light snowfall...
