The 4 Seasons

can i use that as an official total or is that an estimate?

Ill glady take another inch

Ive always wondered that. Here's what i do know.. BDR normal is 27.6". For the past 20 years their average is 38.7". The only two climo sites in CT are BDL/BDR. I figure if BDR is 27.6 were at least in the 30st. Ive just assumed 35". I think ~8" higher than BDR is reasonable. However for the last 20 years id say were close to 45". If you look at this image you can see we (North Haven/Hamden) are on the boarder between the light pink and dark pink which would be around 35". The hills of Hamden Id say would be around 40" and the far southeast side of North Haven closer to 30". Theres a really sharp gradient between the coast and inland from BDR to DXR and HVN to MMK. This climo is old though so it doesnt take into account the last 20 years which were very good. Ive always seen this photo get thrown around since i was a kid in the early 2000s so its at least 15-20 years out of date. So take it with a grain of salt.

ok no problem..it was more than that most likely though before it melted and the zr compacted it along with the solar heating of the feb sun angle. I have spotter in Hamden who came in with 1.2. I had 1.2 as well. So probably around there. I was just curious if you measured...and how it compared. When i checked after noon i had 0.5 so lots of melt after the main batch of snow ended.

@Brian5671 @Hoth @metagraphica @WeatherX totals???

Please send me your final snow totals or @ me i will be doing a map asap. TIA

went back to light snow before it ended. 1.2" of concrete mess.

we hope Haha so they did do it eventually. Advisory to warning to advisory

Nice! what a difference a few miles makes, all ZR here.

TY! i was expecting 1-2 here so im not dissapointed, played out as expected. a 3-6 topper would have been nice but cant complain with 2ft+ so far this Feb

some reports in the area..

Yeah radar does look good for MA, not warning good but good. I was pretty shocked when i saw those warnings go up this morning for 5-7". Looks like they cut back to 3-6" which is a typical advisory range, not sure why they didnt just drop em. Prob for sake of confusion going adv->warning->adv

29F light freezing rain. 1.2" Glad i cut back totals last night to 1-2" and pulled the line north. Probably end up being too high for N CT but well see what additional we can get the next couple hours. Its pretty much done here as we changed to freezing rain and best lift is to the north...actually melted down to a 1/2 inch already. Never was a fan of this one snow growth looked terrible, temps were iffy, best lift was north...just a lot of things working against it to get more than an inch or two down in the North Haven/Hamden area. Thought N CT especially in the hills was sitting comfortable for 3+ but that might even be too high. Well see what additional we can get up there, looks like the radar is trying to fill in over NE CT. So far all the reports ive seen are 1-1.5 ish everywhere. Latest radar...

Why not. Here we go...some overnight radar images 8F Mostly clear.

Must be awful to live there except in the rare instance they do great like 12/19/09. I wonder if we have any members from that area or even new london or stonington, if we do we never hear from them. Closest regular poster i think is metagraphic from Salem but hes well inland and NW.

my point exactly.

Warnings up for Interior central and E MA. Didn't see that one coming, especially after reading their PM AFD. Didn't expand or changes the advisories at all i see.

not about getting more snow lol, confidence wise...the transition between ranges is where i have the lower confidence if that makes sense. That is to say, its an easier call for Groton (i just picked an area on the extreme shoreline in SE CT)

2 feet by Feb 8th with another 2 or so on the way isnt enough lol Derbys going to be cutting it close...confidence is obviously much higher near say Hfd/Tolland and even extreme south like GON..theres likely going to be a sharp cut off i feel somewhere in the lower 1/3rd of CT.

Final call. Cut down amounts by about an inch and moved the line up slightly north. Snow growth looks pretty terrible in southern CT, may change over to fzdz for a while. Best lift looks to along the northern 4 counties. They're looking good for another solid plowable 3-4" at least. Think this will play out similar to Jan 26-27 (first part). One thing we have going down near the coast is very cold sfc temperatures and plenty of cold at the start should allow everything to stick that does fall thus not looking at white rain scenario this time.

Down to 10F now. There difference between here and HVN is astounding right now. almost 20F difference in a few miles from the shoreline

certainly. a solid 3-4 id be expecting up there.

Who are you and what have you done with Dr. Dews.

RGEM wont budge still in the coldest solutions camp pretty much all snow for CT.
