CT Valley Snowman

About .05 locally.  Stein wins. 

53 and rain, lol.  

Nearby PWS' are near or over 2" here.  Turned into a soaker of an afternoon.  

Pouring rain and thunder off and on the past hour.  

74 here.  Over performed the point and click of 71.  

71 here with a NE breeze. It is noticeably greener with more leaves here than everywhere else, especially the higher hill towns, that I traveled through on my way home from Maine yesterday. Leaf out is well underway here in the valley.  

5" here.  The snow made a valiant effort fighting off the sleet.  25" on the season.  It's going take a big March to approach normal.  

Still dumping here for now.

lol Albany. I'm surprised we've managed even that much.

BDL is bad as well. WNE and ENY FTL so far this winter, especially the valleys that don't cash in much on any upslope and lake streamers etc.  

F here too.  20" through mid Feb with a cutter or two on the way. Pack has been meager.  Decent arctic shots seem like a waste when the storms don't produce.  

18.5" here  for the season so far and I average 49", pretty paltry.  Long range doesn't look overly promising either.  It's still early in terms of writing off the whole season but it's definitely feeling and smelling like a ratter.    

Riding the line here on the HRRR and Rap, not expecting much, maybe a dusting to 1/2 inch.  Only got 1" from the last storm before it changed to rain.  Pack is down to piles and patches.  

Just missed the real good stuff here with 5.8, still a nice wintry appeal and fun snow day for the kids. Definitely a bit frustrating when banding has tended to set up just SE of here in winter events but I'll take what I can get. Hopefully far NW areas up toward Hippy and ALY get themselves a big time interior crusher.

The fact that it took 3 hours to fill page 20 of this thread tells you all there is to know.

Only so many ways you can polish a turd.  

Cold wedge hanging tough here as usual.  37-39 in Enfield and 55-56 in Tolland.

I learned 35, 40 years ago that rarely happens... in SNE

More often than not you're right, usually the spine of the Berks into far NW CT have the best chance from time to time but points east everything downslopes and dries out.  

To much dry air and downslope here now, radar shows steady but we're barely spitting flakes.  

Light snow here in Enfield as well. No accumulation. Just nice to see flakes   

28 with a solid freeze last night and already down to 33.  Radiators mounted.    

Yes we still have green leaves here mainly on the oaks, however the majority of trees are now past peak and duller than they were.  My particular backyard does not have fully healthy grass so it is turning browner than it was about 2 to 3 weeks ago and we did have a pretty solid frost locally and 3 days below 36. Yes, in general when you drive around it's very clear that things are later and greener than normal this year.   It Is especially true on the shoreline.  

It was behind with the change here but things are dropping fast as well and we've had 3 mornings in the 30s and a frost.  Definitely way different down on the shore of CT. 

Peak was late this year, around October 23-26 locally with a decent final wave of color. Overall a disjointed and sub-par season.  

33 and frosty

For snowiest places where people actually live, northern Japan has to be at or near the top of the list. Especially since most of it falls in just 2 or 3 months.

Aomori Japan

Outside of the NNE mountains things have been pretty meh so far.
