The 4 Seasons

Well the depth of 21" makes total sense since those are measured at 7AM daily, and that's about right for the timing of the storm. 35.5" is total snowfall for the calendar day. And ASOS is not very good in high wind. If you go back and look at all the climo sites for 2022 and 2015 and others youll see the same thing. No clue why they don't use SWE from a core sample, but OceanStateWX said it, ASOS is king.

55 to -58 would be something to behold. Who could pull off something like that? International Falls?

So ORH got 16.2? the PNS says 13.7 but that seems way off considering they got 13.9 just on the 23rd alone and 2.3 on 22nd. Thats what the CF6 shows. @ORH_wxman

Time for a handle change TauntonBlizzard2026 2013 has nothing on this, what was that like 2 feet, pffft

I've been saying this. And yes a lot of high wind blizzards look just like this with "30-70:1 ratios" It's bad. Just doing a core sample and manually changing the data would fix it.

15.6 is super early too at 10:45AM. it was still snowing well after that. ill just use yours

its getting tossed, i have no idea why they included it. Nothing around it supports that kind of amount. Could just be a mis-entry

I just didn't understand why you said "Ryan's" like that was his map, what does Ryan have to do with that map?

Ryan who? I posted this on the first page, first post.

@dendriteif you could please keep this pinned for another couple days, or at least a day more that would help me out a lot.

a dusting at most, similar to Billerica. It barely snowed

Not that itll prove anything when you have that much snow there is significant compaction + melting a day later. Not to mention airports taking 6 hrly/clearing, the depth after is going to be way different those measurements...i.e. lower.

wonder if the accordion man is still jamming a yard stick in the deep trenches of Warwick tonight

yeah 2011 was a canal runner https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/jan-11-12-2011

i dont wanna think about it

i cant keep up

Go with whatever the official F6 is

More, more, more!

FYI i updated the first post on this topic with the latest interactive map, 48hr snowfall analysis and maps from the 3 local climo sites (OKX, BOX, ALY)

metfan patrols the area and arrests those who dont measure immediately after it stops snowing

That's the speculation, when they measured again at 7PM there was no measurable. But they did get additional snowfall from say 1-3PM or so and it melted. If they measured after it stopped snowing they could have reported it and should be above 20". Kind of important to do that since its a top 7 storm of all time. They can add an estimated additional amount in like they did in 2016 when the amount changed from 26.8 to 27.5 nearly 2-3 months later.

Don can explain in more depth than me but from what i understand they reported 19.7" at 1PM when it was still snowing for a couple hours after that and never updated the snowfall total. Apparently there was an additional 0.15" qpf after the report. This is what i saw on the NYC forums anyway.

This is a first pass - initial snowfall totals for CT only. Will be working on SNE/Tri-State for the next couple days, it's going to be quite a project to say the least. Thanks to everyone who sent reports, i tried to use most of them if i could fit them in. This CT one will get updated with different ranges but used the original ones for verification purposes. Overall feel very good about the final call forecast, at least for Connecticut. Some higher amounts greater than 2 feet occurred in SE New London and eastern Windham counties. Feeling an A- for the grade for CT.
