The 4 Seasons

@EastonSN+ well since we did Feb and Mar might as well do the rest of the winter, before that anyways... Nov 26th - First possible significant snowfall of the season. Nor'easter than trended west pretty dramatically inside 24hrs. Watches up converted to advisories. Well interior NW CT recieved low end warning while most of southern CT and the coast saw little to nothing. Rain changing to white rain. Elevation helped signifcantly 2-3" of slop in the hills of Hamden and North Haven (200-500ft) while near sea level got about a half an inch. Jan 9th - Snow squall event. Line of +SN moved through the state during the AM commute. Most picked up 2-4" in about a 1-2 hr period. Jan 24th - Coastal storm that was much more potent on models 3-5 days out then turned into a weak low. Overruning snows at night turned to sleet and rain before the precip shut off. 1"+ rates for a while. High adv/low warning event. (Notice how awful that Weather Channel map is, i saved it just for laughs..Rain to the North of the Rain & Snow line) Jan 26-27th - We all know the deal, the pain, the heartache that was this storm. 24-36, 15-30, 20-30 etc forecasted as the storm was unfolding. Huge bust. East of the River did about as well as expected though.

i wasnt around for that. you mean positive bust? it looks like you got 2 feet+ by the pictures

Let's keep going, shall we.. Mar 1st - Solid plowable event. Very similar synoptic setup to the last storm on Feb 21st. This time all snow, no change to rain.Warning shore, Advisory inland Ended up with 6-7" in North Haven. Snow stuck to roads during the day Mar 3rd - Overruning event with a heavy burst of snow changing to sleet and freezing rain. Advisory statewide for 2-4. Ended up with 1-3" for most. Mar 4th - Anafront situation with rain changing to snow, possibility of big snows for CT ended up being near nothing for interior CT, advisory southern CT, and low end warning for the extreme shore. NYC and LI picked up 6-10". Ended up with 2.5" for this one. Mar 21st - Finale event for the season. Coastal storm. Clipped CT snowed during the day with white rain, stuck at night but pretty much only to grassy surfaces. Adivsory statewide. Ended up with 6.6".

u mean the last good stretch? Jan 11 was way better. Even though 14-15 was good overall it was very frustrating in our area. We watched E CT RI and MA pile up feet of snow while we got blue balled, especially the Jan 26th blizzard. As far as Feb, it was frigid cold with snowcover all month but we had a lot of busts and near misses. Feb 1st - Good 11.5 (front end 6" change to sleet and was supposed to be over then the low blew up over E LI and dumped heavy snow over central CT during the day with 2-3"/hr rates. We added another 5.5 in just 2 hours) Feb 7-9th - "100 hrs of snow" pretty lame non accumulating mess until the final push on Feb 9th, we picked up 4.5" from that, while interior CT even just as north as Chesire walked away with double digist Feb 14th - VDay blizzard. Weird situation with a low in a good position but developed too late and crushed E MA and even gave good warning snows to NE CT. We ended up with 2" on the front end WAA snows but completely missed the development of the low bombing out. We were literally under a blizzard warning with calm winds and clear skies, NWS wouldn't pull the plug. Feb 21st - Light event with snow changing to rain. Pretty uniform 3-6 across the state. Ended up with 5.5" Then Mar 1st solid 6" er all snow. Feb was a bit frustrating but still good nontheless. The deep snowpack that ranged from 6-20" all month and the record breaking cold really made it memorable.

i dunno... you the og around here, get with the program!

sure go for it!

Can you provide a link to more of these or share all the ones you made some how? id love to see them.

Must be nice

nice!

And he is standing by what he said and is saying with this explanation... I'm also getting a ton of backlash from his followers (some of them) for calling him out. He did the same thing with Laura saying it would max out on Cat 2 (and weaken before landfall) when it was already Cat 3 and eventually turned high end Cat 4. I'm curious what you have to say about his rebuttals to the criticism.

::Clown:: He's getting blasted on twitter, and still defending himself.

This guy...

I cant in my brain compute metric without converting it to standard, im sure im not alone in this. But ill admit Metric is obviously superior, standard is so dumb and outdated, we really need to get rid of it.

That's a crazy tornado path, looks like it's trying to break in.

lol - wut @CT Rain https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/may-15-2018-southbury-to-hamden-tornado/45394/ thats pretty funny..

I was on Gaylord mt road when it happened and turned around.

North Haven Hamden has seen some shit in the past several years. Not only Feb 13 historic snow but Jan 11 historic 30" in North Haven, jackpot in all of New England, May 18 Hamden tornado, August 16 tornado in North Haven, and todays possible tornado in North Haven/Hamden.

i mean theres a line between epic and seriously risking your life. And up there, during this, today, it's the latter.
