I'm going with 2.5 here in Enfield, although by the time I got home there was a wide discrepancy in the amounts between colder and warmer surfaces. There may have been near 3" at the height of the storm on colder surfaces but my son forgot to get a measurement as he was too busy building a snowman. Not bad for death valley.
The time of day definitely held things back a bit in the lower elevations with marginal temperatures in the 32 to 33 range during the heart of the event.
Yeah definitely looks like the valley north of Hamden county got screwed a little bit more. I'm not at home right now but pictures an hour ago from my son looked pretty wintry right in Enfield where I live at only 145 ft.
42 here in the valley. You got nice elevation at 1150' you probably will live up to your screen name tomorrow. Your area is one of my favorite in the state , I enjoy driving out 20 to 219 and 179 etc out by Barkhamsted reservoir. Lots of nice outdoor recreation and scenic countryside.

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.
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.
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.
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.
