CT Valley Snowman

About what I expected, best rain west and best wind east. Looks like the closest PWS a couple of streets over from me is reporting about .95

About .8 in the rain department. Nice to see but it was a bit of an underperformer.

Yeah we nice and smooth soil here in the ctrv. My uncle from Gardner Mass when he came down to visit me last year hadn't been to the valley where I live in over 15 years and forgotten how much flat and fertile farmland was in this area. I probably have to travel about 10 miles east or west to start hitting the stone walls.

Two temperature readings below freezing here before the autumnal equinox. 31.3 yesterday and 30.1 today. Seems fairly impressive for CT.

30. Heavy Frost.

Is Sunday looking wet or dry? Point and click said mostly sunny this morning and the Euro looks like a washout. What gives? Trying to plan my son's birthday party.

Low of 31.6. Frosty

Down to 43.5. 2.3 degrees ahead of last night at this time which got us down to 34.

34 for the low. Light frost on car and rooftop.

Off to bed at 39.6. We'll see what the morning brings.

Damn. You're setting up for a hard freeze if you don't level off pretty fast.

Temp starting to tank now. 42 8

45 here. Very light wind from time to time so not completely calm here yet.

https://www.quincyvagell.com/2014/03/27/new-england-hurricane-tracks/#:~:text=The “typical” New England hurricane,fit the data fairly well. It was actually part of an article written by a well known meteorologist formerly from New England Quincy Vagell.

Yes Sandy is included in this graphic that I found already labelled online, even though it did not technically make landfall in New England it certainly had a significant impact on the south coast but yes technically you are correct.

Nothing's impossible and it is 2020 but this is a dose of reality.

40 here. We take.

Keeping expectations low to perhaps moderate based on everything I've see thus far. Hopefully I'm pleasantly surprised or we get lucky with mesoscale features or favorable nuances in the midst of a hostile pattern.

You're good. I think we may be out of the game up here north of BDL. 62/58 cloudy skies here.

As for DIT He just does not accept mediocrity well and we're losing the damage threat and anomalous type effects from the system, although there could still be heavy band of rain that sets up, especially in Western New England.

AEMATT

IJD a snow hole but let's not be overdramatic. It's still inland and a couple hundred feet elevation. Like Will said, probably the low 40's but not a great spot for overall cover and retention but not as bad as living on the south coast. I also live in a snow hole averaging around 48-50" but at least I do better with CAD/ and snow retention in the CT river valley further northwest. I'm sure Willimantic cleaned up pretty well in some of those winters favoring Eastern New England where the banding in the bigger storms was pivoting back through Eastern Connecticut while my location was sniffing exhaust.

43 and light rain as winter returns for one last dance.

1. Rocktober snowbomb: 13.5 inches of destructive cement on leafed trees, massive tree damage/ power outages. 2. June 2011 tornado : Passed just north, impacted family and friends. Saw the aftermath firsthand. 3. Blizzard Nemo: 2 feet, crazy wind and drifts, epic death band was worse just to my south. 4. July 2015 Maine microburst. Damaging microburst sent us home early from our vacation at the family cabin in Mount Vernon Maine. 5. Feb 5 2001 snowstorm: forecasted 6-10 inches on the day of storm, got 2 feet in 12 hours. Honorable Mention: Jan 11 blizzard, Hurricane Gloria.

Man the storm sucked here but 2.9 is ridiculous. You need to check the time stamp on that. 4 is the absolute minimum I could see posted here and 5 is more realistic. BDL came in at 7 and there was better banding west of the river but I would toss the 2.9
