CT Valley Snowman

Lol. The valley is the most populated region in CT after the shoreline in SW CT and the whole valley was like 87-89 degrees. HFD was 89, BAF 88 and 88 here as well in Enfield. Dews were reasonable but it was toasty.

Yep. Screwed again here.

Missed here again. We dry.

37 for the low here as well. Frost on roof and top of van.

Everything fell apart here. A couple of sprinkles, lol. Not surprised.

Dry here as well. We wait.

Give me dews , heat, pools, beaches, and bangers with occasional COC interspersed for hiking and refreshing reprieves to air out the house. I'd prefer about 70/30 warmth and dews to COC.

Hi of 83 with dews in the low and mid 60s. Nothing overly impressive.

Yes but we were locked in because we have a S flow which also promotes the big heat further north. Atlantic ridge placement is better for NNE. Can't win em all.

NNE FTW as it continues to beat even Death Valley near BDL, BAF, CEF in the temp department. 83 for the high here.

You'll won't get much above 80. Even here is only low 80s on most guidance. Dews 65-70 will feel nice.

Would have been pissed if this was winter watching this band rot just to the south of here but not complaining at all here on the Memorial Day weekend. Nothing more than a light shower here earlier this morning. We take.

70.7 here. Mostly Cloudy and a stiff breeze.

Low of 30.4

low of 30.9 around 3 AM. Now 38.6 with the clouds and wind. .

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

33 here. Chilly start for sure.

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

GFS was actually pretty decent here. Terrible elsewhere. I think the banding setup just killed us and this was not just a function of elevation. If the storm track was a bit closer to the coast we would have gotten into the CCB but being between the western deform bands and the CCB combined with the valley and time of day was just a killer. We probably would have done better with the prior tracks that were a bit further offshore as well. Anyways Congratulations to Ray and all the big winners tonight. A historic night for some and one helluva storm. Can't say we haven't had our share of tracking to do here in this action packed March.

Not using a board here so I suppose official totals would a bit more. Current depth is 4.2. .4 new past hour. I'll go with a 5 spot. Official protocol may have been closer to 6 here with board/clearing etc,. but I'm usually not around during an entire storm.

I'll go with 4.5 here, current depth is 3.8 after melting, sublimation etc. Steady light snow.

For every 10 storms around here it seems as though 6-7 underperform, 2-3 meet expectations, and 1 suprises and that might be generous. I can't blame the western mass guys out of Springfield for being so conservative sometimes. It's usually a zero sum game around here. Either the CCB banding parks itself right overhead or we get a perfect deform for hours or things just crap out and it's arctic sand and when temps are marginal early and late season there is no margin for error. . With most of the biggies it seems as though the beginning of the storm usually starts slow and you feel behind the 8 ball trying to catch up. Just about at climo for the year now so I guess I should be grateful for that.

4 total here so far. Back to flurries. Meh.

I'm supposedly under darker returns on radar now, snow growth has improved and I've gone from flurries to light snow lol. Was out earlier so not sure what my peak depth might have been but I'm about 3-3.5 on the grass right now.
