Here are a few of my before and after totality pics that I got. I have the whole event photographed but this gets the point across. What an incredible experience! 

We drove out to New Brunswick CA, it's beautiful here and clear skies. 

We're in pound town now, let's gooo

We got some big flakes mixing in now in Tolland @750ft.

Really loving Iceland

where is that? The cave? 

I'm visiting family in Indiana, drive out yesterday and this is what I woke up to. Good moderate snow here I wasn't expecting itst all

The drop is in full swing here.

I just went out to pull a buddy of mine who got stuck plowing a driveway up by Kev on Mt. Tolland and it's dumping better than I've seen all day today. I live for this stuff.

My wife had the starter in her car kick the bucket this morning. Froze half to death, but I got it done. If it wasn't for a frozen stripped bolt I could have done it in an hour instead of 3. I need a garage asap.

I just had a big ash on the edge of my property treated for EAB. The arborist said the tree is in good health, and it is fully leafed out. He drilled holes at the base and the tree drew up the insecticide. It's an every 2 year process but it's nice to save such a nice specimen with so many dying all around. It's a cool process to watch as well

Not sure which exit off 84 I took (Rte 74?). Sign said has but then no arrows.  So I drove around for a few minutes. Went past the high school and middle school and the town green. Got gas at the Mobil near 84. 
(Right next to the strip club  lol)

No snow in CT anywhere?   
 

Ahh you went by my hood. Welcome!

Just going to leave this here .. Very sad 60k followers.. 

My coworkers swear by this person and treat the posts like the weather gospel. After a heated exchange with our science teacher of all people, I just walk away now and let them drink the Koolaid.

This one's for you @Damage In Tolland

A big POS tree that my neighbors and I have been warning the town and Eversource about for years just lost a limb and wiped out my 60 year old ornamental cherry. I just eliminated the black spot fungus thats been plaguing it for years and it was doing awesome.... figures. 

Damage in Tolland! Trees are break dancing, this is awesome.  We still have power, only a couple flickers so far.

Just finished the first mow and trim of the season.

If this is how this winter says goodbye then I'm fine with it. I'm at the acceptance stage of grief with this one.

No disagreement with that...  Ongoing winter precipitation events are almost always a cancellation, given desire of bus companies to stay off the roads when precip is still ongoing and opposition from DPW folks who do not like to have their trucks actively treating or scraping with kids standing along the sides of roads or at street corners...

Yeah I guess it was wishful thinking hoping this would maybe start later on Tuesday rather than earlier. In my district we definitely closed a couple times so far when a delay was all we needed. 

When are we expecting this to start, Monday night or more towards Tuesday morning. I'm hoping we can squeek out an early dismissal Tuesday by starting this later. We're already up to 3 snow days in my district.

Bingo! 

Also to your middle part...that is spot on too...I mean you can't put the total blame on the source providing the information...people time in and time out continue to fall for the hype...so sometimes people are there own worse enemy. 

For example, there is this ridiculous facebook group in CT...don't know what it's called but they have thousands, and thousands of followers...they do nothing but hype. People fall for it...get all pissed off...and blame meteorologists...but these same people CONTINUE to go to the same source for information. 

Kevin is 100% right when he says people love hype. People may say they don't but at the end of the day (for some psychological reason) people are easily sucked into hype. 

I literally had this argument an hour ago with one of my coworkers dying for any opportunity for a snow day. They go on Facebook and get a snowmap from a weather group and post it in a group text saying we're not having school 4 days out. I finally responded saying the claim is bogus and the response is, "well they're usually accurate." With no actual substance to back the statement up. This is a science teacher mind you... Rant over. 

Snowing pretty good here now, mixing with some big rain drops. Yard and driveway covered.

Proof we don’t make things up. I saw their live hit at 600 feet. Told them to get up . He texted me and asked to come to my house. So much fun. 

Oh most definitely, even at 770 feet a few miles away didn't have any icing like you did. Gotta love the micro-climates we have in our area sometimes.

He’s coming here he says . I’m leaving at 6:45. Here now lol

My town's weather spokesperson haha, a star is born

The pic doesn't do it justice but it was nuts, lightening up a bit now. 

Absolutely dumping snow and roaring wind here in Tolland right now.

Hearing branches breaking in the woods. Now we have flickering lights.......
