Good evening everybody, thank you so much for all of your reports today, as of about 7:30pm most of us have between 9-18″ of snow accumulation with more on the way through midnight or so before a dry slot punches through the region as the storm pulls east, passing south of Nantucket and out to sea as it continues to deepen.

We still have another 4-6 hours to go of snowfall rates either side of an inch per hour as the last part of the bulk of this winter storm works through our region.

I have noticed that some areas in northern Berkshires up into southern VT into southwest NH have had less snow than the rest of WMass, CMass and northern CT where stronger lift has generated more fluffy dendrites that stack up better, even if the total precipitation amounts are roughly similar.

Snowflakes in the form of plates, needles, and columns stack much flatter compared with dendrites (the big ornate snowflakes), and reports of those types of snowflakes have been reported.

We still have to get through Monday, which may generate some decent accumulations for the second part of the storm in those areas, so we all have to get through Monday night to tally up the final accumulations for this storm to see where the 12-20″ widespread amount estimates land, along some of the 18-24″+ high terrain expectations.

After midnight, the drier air comes through, and then our heavy snow will shut off, which will leave us with some light snow showers, flurries, or freezing drizzle, so slippery conditions will continue overnight.

As I mentioned, we still have to get through periods of snow on Monday, which will produce the vast minority of snow accumulations from this system.

However, I do think by mid to late morning we’ll get one pulse of more moderate snow showers Monday, then perhaps a lull, followed by a mid afternoon to early evening second pulse of steadier snow showers capable of additional light accumulation.

I will post a comprehensive update tomorrow morning, but in the meantime, please post your current snowfall totals by town below as we round the 8pm hour, and enjoy the rest of the storm if you’re liking it and if you don’t, just know that things will start to get lighter by tomorrow morning.

Have a great evening, and if you value my work and would like so support it, you can do so at the link below, thank you, Dave.
