Sad bump

In terms of the Vermont record, was the January 1947 Peru claim of 60" not recognized?

What time are you opening the presents that it is dark?

I'm glad to see my report led to a nice round area of 18+ right over my area.

Seeing that 6 hours before the event, it was only off on the placement of the heaviest snow in New England yesterday by about 250 miles, I think we can lock this in a week out.

The reports from Ludlow,/Windsor area on the Public information statement or around 40" were all from early enough in the morning yesterday that I would have thought they got at least 10+ more. Have any newer reports from that area come in?

If it cheers you, ride the CMC from 0Z.

And like that, Phineas is introduced to the annual New England tradition known as the Grinch storm. My introduction was around Dec 23 of 2007 in Bethlehem NH, no too far from Phinland, when our 22" pack was taken to nothing in a single day.

Yes but later runs of it really cut down on the totals in VT and NH and moved everything south.

the SREF also did well about placing the heavy stuff through that area.

I know but this time it was actually right.

The CMC was pretty darn close. Look at 12 Z yesterday. And look at the Kuchera numbers that were spit out: https://www.pivotalweather.com/model.php?m=gdps&p=snku_acc&rh=2020121612&fh=42&r=us_ne&dpdt=&mc= It had the band just south of there for at least a few runs prior. ex: 0z on the 16th

Did Ludlow ever turn in a final total? They must have gotten a lot more after 9:50 am.

19.8 here which is actually my biggest in Vermont. Biggest in our Norwich time had been 18.7 though that was only 6 days after an 18.2 storm. Peacham we usually missed on the the heaviest- I don't remember anything over 16 in those years (09-16). South Royalton (92-02) I don't remember anything reached 18 (even 3/93) but lots were in the 14- 17 range. Pretty easy to clean up but both shear pins went on the blower at the bottom of the drive so I will have to do a polishing up over the weekend.

From updated GYX AFD: https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&issuedby=GYX&product=AFD&format=CI&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off .NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/... 1226 PM Update... A dangerous and historic storm will continue for some areas through the mid afternoon hours. The highest snowfall report in New Hampshire as of noon time was 38 inches in Grantham. The New Hampshire State record for a single storm is 49.5 inches. Have updated snowfall totals for southwest Maine and central New Hampshire. Extreme snowfall rates to continue for another 2 to 3 hours.

Were there any thunder snow reports up here? I don't recall seeing any posts about it.

18.8 now. 1.3 over the last hour but it is much lighter now. Wind seems to be picking up a bit however.

Problem for IBM is it had moved south yesterday and had much less up this way.
