Well, this has turned out a bit more significant than anticipated. I sit in a zone that was predicted to see snow accumulation of 3-5 inches by noon today. As of 6am today, (1100 utc) we totaled 9 inches with more to come. The past two hours have recorded snowfall rates of two inches an hour per radio reports. We have had a total of two inches of snow for the fall/winter season to date. The Weather Channel indicated a bombogenesis situation has developed, now that's a name searching for a pirate radio station. I have not seen the path of the storm but in interior southern New England, we often get the worst of a Nor'easter when it tracts through 40N, 70W.
Yard shots from this morning, there is a drive way in the front yard shot between the maple and oak on left. I'm guessing deer/predator tracks visible in backyard shot. https://imgur.com/a/IzDSUcK

My location is north of Buffalo N.Y by 13 miles and we received a dusting of snow on Jan.7, but the city of Buffalo has set a new record for snowfall.
The amount of snow that fell on Thursday was measured at 17.8 inches, according to the National Weather Service. That shatters the previous record for Jan. 6 of 7.3 inches that stood since 1974. The amount was 3 inches short of the all time record of 20 inches. Typical lake effect snowfall since Lake Erie is wide open.
