Definetly some shadowing going on. I was a bit under the weather yesterday and spent some time on the laptop. Snow started here in Meredith a bit after Noon and then shutdown a half hour later. Watching the radar, we were in a dry slot for around four to five hours. Then it started sowing but it didn't really kick in until after 8 PM. Not sure what happened after that (in bed early) but I woke up to 8.5" to 9". Can't say I'm too upset because it took all the energy I had to get the drive cleaned up.
NWS is saying Belmont got 17". We got the Sunday night 6" to 10" the NWS was calling for, but not the intitial 5" to 8" they were calling for on Sunday. That ended up being the difference (versus what was forecasted).
Definitely a strange storm, but they all are in their own way, right? Maybe the last 6"+ storm of the season? Maybe not, but looking at the extended forecast, this Winter's looks like it might lose it's legs quickly. If you like the white stuff, get out and enjoy it while you can!
