Yep! I was 12. I was already following the weather and none of the adults at the time thought we were going to get any snow. I also remember it was pretty warm at least a couple weeks leading up to the storm because we had already done yard clean up and run over the lawn with the mower once to clean up winter crap

It was warm a day or two before the storm…And that was the problem, it was hard to believe a blizzard was on the doorstep..due to the nice weather already in place.  But she was a coming for sure. Great memories. Sensational storm in ‘82.
 

Congrats to the folks that picked up 18-22” yesterday…that was April 1982 in SNE 42 years ago, but colder and  4 days later to boot.

I loved that storm. I was 12 years old. We picked up 18 or so inches south of Albany where we lived.

1982 I was 14..it was awesome. Legit Blizzard conditions with powder, no wet stuff.… cold/frigid airmass. 20 inches plus. Out of school for 3 days.

I think those photos were from 16-17 but I’ll let lava confirm. Both good but 16-17 better locally. 

Ahh ok..thanks for the clarification.

That was a great year. Last one we had that really went big although 17-18 and 18-19 weren’t too bad either. Not sure what to make of this season. Today was great though.

Thats what he said…17-18 was great for you guys.

We don't get many 20 inch storms although in 2017-2017,we got 26" and 22". That was a banner season at 132". Serious meat in the pack. 38" depth for awhile

Solid 3 inches here, probably a little more but I did not bother measuring first thing this morning. Lots of compaction.

still snowing lightly. 

How long before those pines blow down onto your house Hippy?  Or are they far enough away that if they fall, they miss the house?

I was up real early this morning around 2:30 and then again around 4:30 and it was sleeting but I woke back again at 6:45 and was snowing. It's been snowing since. At the house we have about a half an inch on the ground.

At work now in West Hartford and it's still coming down had a decent clip.

Looking at the radar it seems to keep filling in just Southwest of us. So I think everyone north of us will have a good shot of some good snow today. Fun to see. About 33° at home.

Yup 33 degrees here too and some snow falling. 

The Lewiston area, and Lava rock area seemed to be the jackpot.  And that’s where all modeling had it for days.  Yet no where near the modeled amounts in the low to mid twenties(and some times even in the upper twenties were modeled).  The southern NH and Northeast Mass areas seem to be a bust for the most part. The precip shield never really came together for those areas. Further north and east it is(Jeff’s area and Brian’s and Lava’s), but substantially lower than the huge amounts that were forecasted…At least the way it looks at the moment. 

Some light snow here now…completely meh overall though. 

I hope for the sake of the NNE’ers, this precipitation starts to blossoms later on.

Drill through the lock.  Just ask @MBRI

The garage door had a 3/4" hole straight through from the time I was middle school until grad school lol

If your tools are(Locked) in the garage…you’re shit out of luck.

Don't get me wrong, it looks awful. Haha. 

All banded crap now…looks like trash coming up. Not even a solid shield. Get this crap the hell out of here.

I hear ya, secondary is only just getting offshore, not expecting any miracles, but we will likely have to contend with something in the AM, I have no idea what, probably just messy mix for most. 

Ya that’s true too…I guess we’ll see in the morning.

I did check other windows and doors but knew they were locked. That glass was tough to break. Had to throw it like a baseball to bust it

We’ve all done that shit before(locking ourselves out)lol.   Good think you didn’t hit the sleds when you hucked the brick through.  I gotta admit I got a good laugh out of your post..while at the same time knowing that frustration.  Enjoy the storm there Lava.

??? 

Precip falls until like noon tomorrow. 

Well by Looking at the radar Jay, the steady stuff will be over for the most part by midnight it’s looking like. Not much coming up from the south after the central Jersey stuff.  Sure…there may be some spritzes/sprinkles through the morning…but  nothing of consequence it seems. 

Just now, RUNNAWAYICEBERG said:

 Yea maybe midnight. 

Yup, and then Hopefully that’s it. No big deal here at all. 

Once that blob in central Jersey gets through here…it looks like that’ll be it here. Maybe by 10-11 pm it’ll shut off here..?

My friend drove all the way up to North Conway for this one.

Beer.   If I bring home a lot of grading, I will have school...  If I leave it here, it will be cancelled...

Wouldn’t it be the other way around?  Lol.

Checking in. Obviously have disappeared, been busy with divorce activities lol.

Pounding pellets as I head down 24 through Brockton 

We were wondering where you disappeared to?  Certainly Very Sorry to hear that Brett…but stay positive and upbeat, and you’ll be fine.  

Ya..I don’t get those PDC maps?  I guess when it’s very wet snow maybe as Brian said.
