The 4 Seasons

Barrow, AK. 1969.

At or slightly past peak? Really? I don't think Kevin would agree. Trees are still budding and coming in bloom there. Peak not until late November.

Nice i have the Phantom 3 Pro/photoshop, the drone itself is gettin kinda old technology wise but it still takes amazing photos and 4k video. just went up today and got some great photos and video

The older i get the more and more i appreciate fall and the fall foliage each season. Some of these pictures are incredible @eyewall@MaineJayhawk@powderfreak really awesome stuff. The color has been really picking up here lately the past week or so. I wouldn't say its high color or near peak but it's definitely more than a touch of color or just starting. Some crappy shots from my terrible phone camera (unedited).. Looks a lot more colorful in person, probably the overcast and terrible phone camera.

I was shocked to hear this. I always admired and respected his passion for weather. RIP.

B+ Solid.

@Kevin W can hook you up. You create your own pw and log in and update the totals, its super easy. l always wondered why you weren't on there. Anyways, thanks for the shout out, it means a lot, truly. I've said this before somewhere else but to know that people like and find value in it is appreciated because sometimes i think whats the point if no ones looking at it or cares...the seasonal totals and past snow storm maps specifically (not talking about FX for upcoming storms that would be done always especially since we started a new company). The seasonal stuff is super hard because the only official data we have for CT is really the two climo sites, BDL and BDR, otherwise theres nothing. So its very helpful that people keep track of their running season totals with each storm because thats all i have. Wish we had more Litchfield and New London/Middlesex counties but i know those are more sparsely populated areas. Most of the people live along 91/95/84 in CT. Its really good to have a bunch of posters in Tolland and Windham counties.

Updated. Probably where well end off for 2020-2021 season.

oh ok, thanks for the explaination, i always update everything manually. I scrolled up and saw that you were putting in Mr. Windcredibles #s under my name "The 4 Seasons". I'm sure you figured it out by now but were two different users in different towns, not related in any way. I just couldn't figure out where 15.1 came from as no one in Connecticut anywhere is that low for a season total, even Clinton is close to 40"

Final snowfall totals for the late season rain/snow event in CT.

I just logged into to New England Snow website for the first time in probably over a month and found this weird entry of "15.1" and a note as "Season Final". This is SO bizarre! I definitely didn't do this and have no clue where it came from or what that 15.1" number represents. Like i said i havent been on the site in well over a month. Im trying to figure out how this happened or what the 15.1" number means. I doubt someone knows my password and why would they log in and put 15.1" as an event, makes no sense to me. Maybe kevin can explain it? I deleted the entry though already.

Immesurable

Rain. 36F.

77. Didn't expect this today.

I remember your posts vividly, people were congrating you based on runs etc. I went pretty modest with 12-20 for most of the state while the NWS had 18-24 and the news stations were 15-25/16-24/18-24 for central/W CT. I just never saw those really big amounts, turns out even i was a bit too high for S CT but nailed most of W CT and the northern 3 counties. 20.4 was the highest in the state and that spotter is questionable (often i see very high reports coming out of New Fairfield). That was always a strange storm to me, feel like there wasn't much hype around it as i would normally expect given those all time type numbers and it was quickly forgotten. Noticeable gradient as you move SW to NW. Even within my town there is a spotter 3 miles SE of me who came in with 8.7 while i had 9.5 just from an extra 20 minutes or snow of snowfall. Another spotter about 1 mile to my NW in hamden picked up 9.9. I should do an updated map for these older big ones but it takes so long, so well see maybe.

yeah noticeable juiced, havent seen anything like it really. That was not our last blizzard warning, Jan 4th 2018. The snow-bomb.

Whatever happens, as long as i get 0.4 or more ill be happy with that

4 year anni of Pi-day snow storm. This storm certainly wasn't a complete bust but it under performed a bit in CT as last minute ticks NW caused a complete changeover to sleet for most of southern CT. This could have been the biggest March snowstorm ever in a lot of climo sites if it had performed as forecast. Aside from Jan 2015, these are the highest forecast numbers ive seen come out of local news forecasts in the past 7 or so years. This storm also featured some of the heaviest snowfall ive ever seen. During the period of changeover we had some extremely large sized flakes sticking together mixed with sleet probably at a rate of 3"/hr. We ended up with 9.5" here in just a few hours which isn't awful on a 12-20FX but definitely under performed (NWS Zone at the time was 18-24 which would have been worse if you were expecting that). Definitely a bust on the SE corner with only 2".

Feb 1-2 2015.

Marth 7-8th 2018. Light to moderate snow began during the day here. It was mostly white rain with less than <1" by sunset. I thought we would have a hard time with this in the lower elevation areas but that changed quickly after sunset. By the time i had less than an inch of white rain glop, @Sey-Mour Snow was closing in on 8.5" just to the west of me around 550ft. Shortly after sunset radar returns started rapidly deepening and we were under S+ with heavy 1-2"/rates. NWS issued an SPS for 1-3"/hr rates and possible thunder. At this point i went outside for a while and the snow was still coming down very heavily. I saw this huge white flash above my head and thought briefly it was a flood light turning on and then a second late a large summer-time convective clap follwed by even heavier rates. This was probably the most intense thunder snow ive seen since Feb 2001. As i was outside for a while i saw several more CG strikes and extemely loud thunder. The majority of the snow fell from 5-10PM and we ended up with 13.5". I imagine some of the rates reached up to 4"/hr during the period of thunder/lightning. Forecast for this was really really good but ended up being too low in W CT where some amounts ranged from 16-28". The ranges worked out perfect and the gradient from 0-2-->8-16 SE to W did as well. Some of the regional NWS maps. NYC was definitely spared from the big amounts along with most of LI and SE CT. Radar
