The radar image on post #110 shows very light snow, perhaps no more than flurries or virga at KBOS. Though the image appears to be a base reflectivity radar snapshot and not a composite reflectivity snapshot. (From Boston north, the radar near KPWM will sometimes fill in the precipitation from the airport north, but that would be a composite radar image.)
