wrong wind direction to maximize this as well

There was never much to maximize.

Oh .. you did?

Lol.  I was thinking 1-3 before the flip.  Pingers are coming.

Absolutely pounding S+. Gonna overperform snow wise 

I could see it overperforming for those who bought the NAM hook, line, and sinker and went with a wire-to-wire scalping.

3 posts about the 00z runs in the discussion thread.  Boy, we're a beat-down group. 

People like sleep unless a biggie is on the doorstep

4.5 driveway, 4.75 -5 colder surfaces.

terrible snow growth

Its ripping pretty good here again.  Definitely straddling the better bands.

Looking at the radar probably should have kept my 4 inch call for here back to light snow

4.2 here moderate snow and still snowing.  6-7 is reasonable. Best banding will skirt S and E of here.  

Gfs looks meh. Goodbye and Goodnight.

Was thinking 2 to 4 here. But could bust low if a good band develops

That's reasonable, I would think the better banding potential is over eastern ct where I could see a spot 7-8.  Sometimes the banding pushes just a bit farther west than the models indicate but 2-4 is a reasonable call.

GFS is the same, I don't see any southeast movement everyone says they saw.

You need to really look more carefully especially across the interior zones.  I'm thinking best chance of warning amounts are in southern and eastern ct, ri and southern and eastern ma mainly south of the pike and 84.  Probably 2-5 further west tapering down even further up into the Rt 2 corridor west of ORH county.

Dont lick too hard, lol.

well on my original map I didn't have C-1'' for the entire state...I had 1-3'' for NW and NE CT.

 

My bad, that's certainly within the realm of outcomes.  I could see how the gradient would be more Northeast to Southwest vs highlighting the two corners of the state but I could see that how that extra orographic enhancement in the hills could produce a bit more precipitation as well.

Just now, weatherwiz said:

I remember a certain someone telling me to take them up. 

I still think there's a decent shot of 2-3 N and ECT , but I could see some C-1 SWCT.  C-1 entire state would be pretty conservative.

That was knots.

You're right. Pretty impressive for the valley.  There have been some scattered trees down and a couple of road closures.  Nothing widespread but notable. 

BDL top gust was 55 mph, probably similar or a bit less here.  64 mph in Westfield and 76 mph on the top of Mount Tom are pretty impressive for this general geographic region.  

Ripping fatties here, winds are brisk.

Nothing is redeeming 15 rainstorms for me . 

Would be nice finish thou 

I’d sell a K.U more than a Bob Kraft spa package 

My treadmill mileage screen got stuck at 18.88 miles, first time that's ever happened.  1888 walking through the door would be about the only thing that could redeem this.  

The grading of this winter would have a gradient similar to the gradient that has set up during these storms.  I could see how the F grade across the more Southern and Eastern portions of the region would be warranted   Being at 28" here for the season with some more enroute I'd be more inclined to go with a D grade thus far here near the Connecticut /Mass border. As lousy as it's been here we've definitely held our pack here a little bit better than areas near/south of 84 and there has been a couple of systems where Enfield has been on the colder side of the gradient but even in those systems it's still a lot of nickels and dimes overall  and a pretty cruel distribution of precipitation vs snowfall given the temperatures. 

48.  We melt especially in open and sunny areas.

 I average a bit under 60 here there is no way Amherst is only 39. 

It's got to be closer to 50 I would think.  

I'm at about 28", haven't been involved this year but sugarloafer has been representing Enfield well.  First time I can recall being ahead of DIT this late in the season. He'll probably pull ahead with some type of late season elevation event but who knows.  

1.0. of mixed garbage.   That last pure snowfall event was heaven.

Maybe I can get up to 30" YTD by Thursday morning. NWS has 2" forecast.

It feels like we either nickle and dime our way to like 36",   or perhaps pull off a bigger late season event or two that could try and make a run at average snowfall.  Persistence would argue for the first scenario being the most likely but we"ll see.

F this winter. That's all i have to say, may it burn in hell with 01-02, 06-07 and 11-12. 

Please send me your final snowfall totals for any locations across CT and i will post a map. Even if its a 0.4 or a Trace, any reports will be great.

Snowfall totals across the southern 4 counties were so low that OKX didn't even do a PNS for this event, so i have nothing to go on really.

3.75 Enfield
