The 4 Seasons

I did... 0.9" on Christmas Eve MORNING. That lasted until the night. Then got wiped out Christmas morning and Day and Night with rain. an A and a F....averaging out to a mediocre C. lol

tell me about it. It was on the lower end of the spectrum in terms of confidence and consistency.

Just one comment i wanted to make, this was the first time trying to do a liquid equivalent map and ratios. If i didn't use your total it was most likely because i needed to use a report that had both and snowfall total and liquid total to derive a ratio. It wouldn't make sense to use a snowfall report from one person, a melted liquid report from another and ratio combining the two.

thanks man. did you guys put out a map for this one? i don't think i saw one

Given im at around 25" mid-season. One over performing storm, one underwhelming storm...one was night, one was day. Lots of 0.5-2" piddly sh*ts. Not much on the horizon. It's extremely mediocre. C

Up to date snowfall totals for Connecticut as of the last accumulating snowfall. Thanks to everyone for the reports. SE CT beating NW CT mid winter?

Totals took a while to compile. I want to thank everyone for their reports and speaking with me in the DMs. It's always tough when there is a sharp gradient in CT compounded by very high winds that cause blowing and drifting snow. I felt overall our forecast was very good, especially with the division between major snowfall totals (i.e. 1 foot+) and more pedestrian totals in the 6-12" range. We verified extremely well across a good portion of the state and population distribution. The gradient was even tighter than we forecast with less than 6-12" in the NW hills (3-6" there) and an area above the 20" threshold in far eastern and southeast CT (20-25" there). Overall CT Grade: B+ Final Call: First Call: Overall Tri-state Grade: B+ Final call: New Haven & Fairfield County totals: Town by town snowfall totals in CT This is the first time i created a liquid totals map to derive a snowfall ratio map as well. These numbers are (mostly) from CoCorahs, but take them with a grain of salt. There was a lot of smoothing and numbers that were completely thrown out due to being completely out of reality. This includes, the official totals from BDR and BDL! BDLs official snowfall was recorded as 6.8" with a liquid total of .21. This gives them an average ratio of 32:1. Obviously this was not used, as well as BDR. I did the best with the data i had to work with for these maps. Please use this as a GENERAL reference to liquid/ratios for this storm. A few times Jan 2015 was brought up in regards to this storm. There were many runs of the GFS and NAM that this showed up in the top 15 on CIPS and even a couple times it was #1 on the NAM. The surface low from Jan 2015 swung out wide and took a near due north track over the 40/70 benchmark, while slowing down signficantly and nearly stalling around the cape. This track and evolution were very similar to the 1/28-29/22 snowstorm. This, along with the H7 mid-level FGEN confined to eastern CT/RI and SE MA. In terms of sensible weather, snowfall and gradient of snowfall was also very similar. Jan 28-28/22 was like a Jan 26-27th lite. Lop about 3-6" over most of CT and the totals were pretty darn close. Not to mention the extreme gradient west of the river to about the 91-corridor.

it's morning, i get it. Where's...the demon?

lol congrats, i was just joshin'. i met him a couple times at new england conferences...hes a lot shorter than he looks on TV

it was an attempt at a joke, maybe you are a magnet you just need to reverse the polarity..north pole/south pole.

damn, that's quite a dream you had.

reverse the polarity.

Worcester is a literal magnet.

what was your total?

22" right?

7". thanks for the report man.

I only ended up with 7" but this was a 2X better storm than Jan 7th despite getting 11.1" that storm. Wind, cold, long duration, daytime, near blizzard conditions..its way more than just about the final number

lol, well im just beginning to compile numbers but its going to take some time for PNS and CoCoRahs to update tomorrow morning. What was yours, 9" you said?

Yeah, nothing we get i dont think will ever compare to that. So many factors put that in its own league, including the fact it was the 1970s and people were caught off guard.

total?

did Kevin come in with a final number?

i couldnt agree more i was just out there for about an hour and a half and i think i have frost bite. Measuring is near impossible. The best reasonable estimate i have is 7" from measuring 6 to 8" in many spots that i considered to have "relatively low" drifting... I'm fine with whole numbers in events like this, not super accurate but its really impossible. These were some of the strongest winds i've seen in a nor'easter here in quite a long time. Sustained at 15-25 and gusts to 30-40 the whole day. I can't even imagine what it looked like on the outer cape and the islands. ACK was sustained in the 40s most of the day with gusts to 70 with SN/+SN. That's a real blizzard.

pinky?

Going to measure now, hard to say but should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 7-8

Please @ me or send me your snowfall totals when this wraps up in your area. Making a totals map for this storm is going to be a long and arduous one.
