Snowcrazed71

I'm up to 7.75" now. I cleared everything out and I was at 7 around 40 minutes ago

There you are. You are like that rat. Looking for that one crumb. And to think that I was going to give you credit for being right, I realized I had fallen and hit my head last night. Please just stop posting lol

What's bugging me at the moment is I'm watching the news on NBC for Connecticut. I know they're doing the best they can, but the ladies keep saying that the southern half of state is getting the most snow right now. That's not the truth at all. We already picked up over 7 in now for this area. Plainville, Southington, West Hartford, and they've got about three or four inches down near the shore. So they're not getting more than we are at this point? But hopefully they'll catch up

Actually, when you look at the radar, although the northern area is sliding east southeast, they're still precipitation pushing up from the south into this. So I don't think that the snow is going to shut off as quickly as you think in Sharon. Whatever happens, it's still better than we had thought when we went to bed last night

I just measured two spots. Very flat areas. I'm at 6.5". Wow!!

Well... I'm up at about 500' in Plainville, and we're doing pretty darn good here!

Yeah... Trying to be the bigger person. But, was a mistake. We all make em. Anyway, happy about the outcome.

Well.. I already topped what our " Downgraded Winter Weather Advisory " called for... 3"-5". Hmmm.

Well... So much for my message to Pope last night. I kind of gave him credit for being somewhat right. I RETRACT MY ENTIRE STATEMENT!!!! LOL

Just measured and I am just shy of 5"!!!! I truly gave up last night, made peace with it. Woke up to a radar that looks beautiful. Even if the Snow shuts off at noon... With the way the Snowfall rates are going... We could easily pick up 8" or 9".

Didn't he think this was going to go south? That's what I took from some of his posts. But whatever. The storms over for most I thought this was going to be something big. For those down in New York Long Island, New Jersey area, maybe they'll get something out of us that they never expected.

Pope is going to take this and run with it. And he got this one right, but the problem with him is he doesn't know how to communicate and look at all sides of the spectrum. I think that's what gets him in trouble... But he got this one. So kudos to him

It truly sucks.

Well then..... Tough crowd! Joking of course. Just let it go. It hurts but it is what it is. Sucks balls rather than getting ball stepped on to be honest

Well, they just canceled schools here in Plainville for tomorrow. They must be confident enough that there will be enough snow to warrant a cancellation

Funny, it's not even mentioned on our new station. NBC in Connecticut. They just mentioned the possibility of a little something overnight Thursday into Friday but no mention at all about Saturday and hasn't been. However, wtnh mentioned Saturday earlier today and yesterday that there might be some snow. I can't keep up with who says we're getting something and who says we're not.

The problem is there's So many shit air misses coming in with the storms ;-)

I don't think anybody would have expected this but this juncture. But I would just prepare yourself that it's not happening for us. Par for course for another winter like last.

Well.... It isn't a thing until it is a thing! So if we don't get much, we never had anything yet..... ( Did you get that? ) Lol Seriously... Super disappointed but life goes on.

But not so much anymore just west of Hartford. Wow.... What a disappointment ( not your fault of course )

I don't know guys. A lot of you are saying toss the euro. Throw it out. It's a horrible model. But what if it's right? We've had a couple of instances in past years where it looked like we were going to get a big storm and at the last minute it sneaked away. I hope it's wrong, because I think we're all looking forward to this lol

I was looking it up but didn't see anything. How was March 2003?

Actually, we gained a little bit more with the 18z over the 12Z

I stand to be corrected. It's 3 hours of visibilities below a quarter of a mile and when's above 35 mph with blowing and drifting snow. So it's feasible I guess. Sometimes these things happen as the storm is going on.

Well, they just upgraded us to winter storm warning in Hartford county and if you counties to the east into Massachusetts. They also up the totals to 7 to 13 inches now ...WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 1 AM TUESDAY TO 1 AM EST WEDNESDAY... * WHAT...Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 7 to 13 inches. Winds gusting as high as 40 mph. * WHERE...Portions of northern Connecticut, central, eastern, northeastern and western Massachusetts and northern Rhode Island. * WHEN...From 1 AM Tuesday to 1 AM EST Wednesday. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult to impossible with snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour at times. Areas of blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility. The hazardous conditions will particularly impact the Tuesday morning commute. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Wet snow and gusty winds may result in power outages.
