I've heard amounts all over the spectrum for this storm from 3-8 to 6-12 for the whole state. Usually the figures are somewhat normalized from weather forecaster to forecaster but this storms figures are all over the place. About the only thing that seems to be agreed upon was that the shore was getting more but, they change their minds more often than I change my socks.

Good morning all. Probably 8" in Bristol. The primary roads/highways (I84) were relatively good, although I can't say the same for the secondary roads. Most had been plowed with a single pass many many hours ago. The only issue on the roads appears to be the little sub compact and compact cars bottoming out on the on/off ramps. Stupid them for taking their midget cars out in this weather.
