37 ./ 36 low clouds / fog burning off and snow continuing to evaporate. Outside of some mixing or wet snow Sunday and Tuesday afternoon/evening it looks like wetter vs whiter week and near avg - lots of clouds. Warmer 3/7 - beyond.

I’m curious to see where we go from here. Last winter didn’t suck and this year was really good. Not saying every winter for the next decade or so will rock, but maybe we’re finally digging out of this crap pattern we’ve been in since 2016. A weenie can dream.

All old. Tossed.

Ok well that's big if the metars had over 30 the next day of the new snow. My former supervisor and a coworker (Green Hill and Coventry RI respectively) each sent me a few pictures and it looked like at least thirty inches of snow at both places. Unless he didn't drive all over the place but said he did?? I don't know and its giving me a headache lol. I guess I just wish he had gotten buried.

Will need a nighttime March storm like we had in 92

RGEM and ICON really nailed that snowfall spike over NYC north to Danbury.

1-3” for most seems solid

Yawgoo Valley might have a better base than resorts out west

Still holding out hope that CPK can somehow reach 50 inches of snow. Last window will be late so will not be easy.

I mean you see the pictures of cars buried and it wasn’t just Fall River. Of course they had near 3’ with those rates. It wasn’t that wet either out that way. Temps snuck below 32 early on. Once you get below 32F you’re off to the races. Not to mention that band had great snow growth too. It also matters where and how you measure. There was a lot of wind. You can’t just stick a ruler in some area and think that’s what fell. Trust me, I deal with this a lot in my area. Also the PVD metars still had over 30” on the ground the next day. If he claims Fall River was legit why wouldn’t the same areas to the west that were in the same band not be legit?

It was a fantastic winter in New York City. I'm not sure why some find the need to make exaggerated claims like the one you cited. Perhaps they know that most in the general public don't have access to the data, are not familiar with the historic record, and/or are not inclined to verify the claims. If one is using only the December 1-February 28 timeframe both winters 1977-78 and 1993-94 were somewhat colder and snowier than winter 2025-26. Here's how Winter 2025-2026 actually stacked up against all past winters (December-February periods):

20 degrees in 2 hrs.

So the areas he measured away from his neighborhood did have more snow. Seems they were generally 16-18 new snow otg and a decent amount of old snow which he clearly finds with the yard stick. So I can see the new snow compacting a few inches from the depth when the last flakes fell which pushes the total to say a roughly 20 inches when the snow stopped . I understand by measuring every six hours with those crazy rates , snow settling under its own weight , winds pulverizing the flakes, temps 29-33 causing a wetter snow etc one is certainly going to get bigger numbers for snowfall. But is the difference really ten to fifteen inches making storm total snowfall 30-35 inches? It just seems like a 30-35 inch snowfall would leave a depth of 24 to 30 inches on top of the old snowfall and then overnight and next morning til he got there to measure would find depths around 21 to 27 inches. I have never had a situation like this to deal with so I don't really know. Just seems like reporting 36 inches of snowfall and then not even twenty four hours later a settled depth of 18-19 inches is suspicious. I know the difference between snowfall and snow depth. Listen he is a lot but I think his researching the issue was more than reasonable and doesn't make him more crazy.

Lol well yes Ill admit to being a sinning weenie. I like extremes which includes the heat and storms of summer which I understand you and many others despise. Locally I have to go A+ especially considering my weather 2011 onward. Region-wide though I think B grades are fair. Missed a couple of big dogs by the hair on our chinny-chin-chins and the snow event frequency could've improved with a few smaller events. We started the season with clippers reemerging as a path to some frequent refresher snow but that petered out, though obviously still a NS-dependent winter. Obs: sunny, fog is burning off, and birds are chirping

This is the latest that I can recall NOT seeing daffodils sprouting.

Yessir. Just my two cents. Ought to put up or shut up and do my own measurements I suppose.

Gotcha yea there was a pretty extreme gradient from Windham to Tolland this storm there was 13-15s just to the north and west and 22s-27s to the east, so it looked reasonable to me. Impossible for me to know for sure so thats why its in there. And theres a ton of other variables like you said with wind, the way people measure, how often, etc And i see the same cocorahs reports over and over from each storm and Willington is one that never really felt off/slanted in previous storms so i always used them The more reports i get the better than i can cross check but there was like 6 in Tolland and maybe 6 or so in Windham, that were final anyways.

Tomorrow shatting out more than a property with 20 dogs in Moosup CT.

Fog beginning to lift now as the sun is burning thru.

You’re curious in more ways than 1…

doesnt change anything but a deletion of a text box, which i can do Blue Hill seems right on the money for a change

I thought today was supposed to be as sunny as yesterday. Right now we're close to a solid overcast again.

Thank you! The Presidentials in winter are as close as you get to the Rockies in the East.
