The 4 Seasons

wooooooosh.

Yes i remember that day vividly, jackpotted here while W CT got screwed. Euro was spot on in the days leading up to the event.

but how much snow, that is the question.

Very light snow. Roads wet. Some wind. Snooooze. Did Kev get his 2-4 he was expecting?

There's gonna be a lot of busts near that edge of snow and dry air, many warnings are up for areas that are only going to see backside snow for 2-3 hours and end up way under FX.

To a lot of the general public it actually doesn not count in their eyes. I've had many storms just over the past 5 years where i got 6" or more under a winter storm warning and all the roads were wet, especially the highways. Most people i've talked to think the forecast busted because they only had to plow a sloppy inch off their drive or sidewalks. To some extent i can agree with them. I really think winter storm warnings and advisories should be based on impact and not just an exact snowfall criteria measured on a white reflective surface cleared every six hours perfectly placed. Even with general forecast from the private sector or news stations, when there is a substanial difference i think there should be two maps, one for roads/sidewalks/highways and one for grass/decks/roofs/wood etc. The former is what has the real impact, not the latter. Or they can at least mention and emphasize the difference in accumulation on different surfaces. I don't know what the right answer is, just throwing this out there. I do know the vast majority of the public (from my social circle. family/friends/etc) has no idea what the difference between a Watch, Warning and Advisory is. All they want to know is how much and when.

Snowstorms in general that only stick to grassy surfaces and picknick tables make me angry. When i see all the wet roads and side walks in NYC but a park bench has 6" of paste, that infuriates me.

What's your elevation? Looking at the NWS map for northfield lists it at 469.

yeah thats what i use, just wondering if there was something better, thx

What's the best free site for the UKMET?

yeah, just putting in heated pads underneath the tile in a kitchen or bathroom costs a ton, i can't imagine what it costs to do all that.

i know exactly where that is. 40" for the win here.

lol no. I mean it really REALLY looked to me like nice big dendrites blowing in the wind. Plus i thought the ground appeared to be whitening up.

well i guess i was fooled too, i never really look at night cams nor do i own one.

Time to invest in a Life Straw.

I just thought they were making snow last night. But even that wasnt true, what is this a loop of old tape?

Blizzard on Stratton.

I don't remember a single snow event in CT in Dec 2006, let alone something historic like 27". This sounds like Feb 11/12 2006, especially with that 'death band pivoting over NYC and W CT. Or was it another part of the northeast or country? From what i remember 06-07 was a complete dud. We didn't see any real snow until late Feb/early Mar.

I went to a driving range once...can i play in this thread?

Snow totals around the state from the 3 offices and reports from here.

The model runs 9X a day and usually changes pretty drastically with each run, thats really just cherry picking. I can easily find another run that barely had 2-4/4-6 for most of SNE and call it wrong.

Any thunder reports?

It was an overperformer for most im sure its a damn shame those 3-4"/rates occured at night, the whole storm was at night really so that sucked, otherwise it was pretty great.

11.5" North Haven, 11.5" Bethany, 13.8" Seymour Send me or tag me your totals in CT paaleez!

11.0" light snow.
