The 4 Seasons

@Damage In Tolland @Kitzbuhel Craver any measurable?

Amounts are reported in tenths of an inch sir. Whats this fraction? 0.125? I'm gonna have to give you a ban for that. oh wait....

Feb 5th 2001. Sounds like it to a T. With the amounts, start time and thundersnow/rates....it can only be Feb 5th 01. Thats my #1 all time. To this day i haven seen flakes that big, like baseball size. And a CG strike that hit my neighbors back yard. Extremely heavy thundersnow and thundersleet.

Sometimes i just have no idea what the nws is thinking. Guarantee these advisories dont verify for 2-4 in CT. Even southern fairfield looks like 1-3 but nothern fairfield and southern new haven wont get more than an inch. @WeatherX @EastonSN+ @Brian5671 @Hoth Any reports?

16 is much more reasonable and in line with most of the other models. ill stick with the btter performer this winter GFS16>FV3

too low

18Z GFS is by far the wettest again almost 3 tenths liquid at the shore

STD snowfall map for CT updated. i posted it in 2020-2021 New England Snow thread.

2021 Feb 10 snowfall to date.

STD Snowfall to Feb 10. Did the best i could with the reports i have. Progression..

Heres what we're going with for tomorrow. General C-1 statewide with highest amounts S/SW CT, up to 2" possible (I just posted the final Snow totals map and town by town totals for yesterdays snow event and i also posted a bunch of stuff in the new england snowstorm memories for Feb 9 2013 and Feb 9 2017..ill be updating the STD map snow but it keeps snowing every other day...dont forget to update your seasonal totals in New England Snow)

Snowfall totals from the Feb 9th 2021 light snow event. Our first call was pretty bullish. However, after looking at the evening 00Z suite and really diving into this i could see where it was heading. Lift in the dgz was atrocious coupled with possible warming in S CT, i figured it would be hard to pull more than 1-2 for most of the southern 4 counties. I was even considering going C-1 along the shore but held back on that and just pushed the line Nwd and shaved an inch off going from 1-3-->1-2 and 3-6--->2-5. Positives 1-2" verified for a good chunk of the southern 4 counties away from the shore and SE CT All of Litchfield and northern Fairfield/HFD counties fell within the 2-5" range though it was on the lower end, used a range of 2-4 Highest totals were as noted in Northern Litchfield CNTY The change to mix (freezing drizzle) happened along the shore and a bit inland Negatives 2-5" range busted in Northern and NE CT with amounts in the 1-2 range <1" for the immediate shore and SE CT was forecasted as 1-2" Highest totals were confined to the hills of Litchfield but did not include Tolland county Grade: C+ First call

your first call would have probably been a solid B. I hate when that happens

Also the anniversay of Feb 9th 2017. Another great storm with 2-3"/hr rates, daytime thundersnow and a foot+ in lot of places. 14.5" here.

Yeserday was the 8 year anniversary of the big boy Feb 8-9 2013.

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.
