That squall line in Fairfield/New Haven counties what savage! I’d say close to an inch in some spots in less than 20 minutes! 10” on Tuesday, some mood flakes Wednesday night, 3-4” of fresh snow to refresh our “mini pack” this morning and a quick half inch to and inch this afternoon under the squalls! 21” season total here on the SW CT coastline. Not great and below average but I’ll take it, considering the start to our season and the amount of snow we’ve gotten, despite the above average temps and pattern we are in..

4” Fairfield CT. 20” season total.

4” Fairfield, CT. Season total 20”

This was taken at around 2:00, after the brunt of the snow was finished.  5+ inches reduced to a few inches of wet, nasty slop.  Utterly useless, and terrible.  Winter sucks.  My spot is like living in the mid-Atlantic.  Besides some random Connecticut island in the Long Island sound this area is the worst snow spot in the state, and probably all of new England. 
 
 

About 12” Fairfield CT - north side of town. Can’t believe it’s been 2 years since snow like this. It could have been 2’ if we had better ratios, but I’ll take it!

10-15” pretty much state wide CT from the overnight runs. Good start to 6z..

Thought it would be helpful to have all of the relevant model snowfall maps from 0Z in one place, as I'm constantly trying to remember where they might be in a thread especially when looking back at a storm which I sometimes do. I'm only including the 10:1 ratio maps for brevity and because those at least give one the total precip as snow, too, which is important. Pretty impressive all together.
I think we've all discussed ad nauseum how for this storm, especially for areas S of 78 and east of maybe the NJ TPK, surface temps are likely to be in the 33-35F range, leading to melting/compaction and there could be a warm nose aloft for some period leading to some sleet, both of which would make the snow ratio produced up high in the sky (which should be >10:1 given great dynamics in the DGZ) something perhaps considerably less on the ground as accumulated snow (maybe 7-8:1 and could be even lower at the coast), so take these maps as starting points for how much snow might actually accumulate.  

Huh that was quite the trend down here tonight.  If it stays like this past 12z then I’m sold.

Try 36 hours out

HRRR looks pretty damn cold too, not a threat of mixing even close to CT and surface temps look to be in the upper 20s for most of the event

can you post images?

So on NOAA Milford reported 11.3 at 1000am. if that is right then we definitely broke a foot here which would be a huge win all things considered. I thought we had less at the time but it’s tough to dispute given all the drifting.  It definitely did feel like we had more today than the 9.5 we got a few weeks ago.

You got over a foot lol we got about 14” in BPT on the water (black rock) Fairfield has a measurement of 16.2 at 3 pm

Very tight gradient here in Fairfield county. 6-8” storm for the majority of the county but eastern Fairfield county along the beach got hit hard (Fairfield, Bridgeport). The gradient was very obvious while out driving. Just saw a report of 16” in Fairfield and 10.4 was the last I saw at BDR airport at 1pm and I figured they got an inch or two on top of that.. anyways we were right on that edge

Ha as usual my yard has the lowest amount.

Bridgeport town just SE 10

Fairfield town just south 9

Trumbull town just to east 7 a while ago.

Heck Stamford on NYK boarder 7.

Somehow my yard is cursed WRT snow depth.

 

Yea man we have a foot easy here in Black Rock. I think those totals in Fairfield and BPT are from this morning. I just got home, highest amounts I saw are here, very tight gradient NW of Fairfield

Does anybody have a favorite radar they can recommend?

NEXRAD. I’m in Bridgeport CT so I use the NYC radar

If I get Juno’d again I’m gonna have to think hard about whether this is a hobby I want to continue in my life lol

Very similar pattern.. honestly wouldn’t be surprised if we get shafted here in SW CT bc The pattern is so similar to that when Juno happened. Let’s see where the bands set up. Models are now pretty much useless at least all but the short range models and even those are stupid bc at that point it’s better to just look outside and look at the radar lol

yes I think the downloping is worse from Westport/Newport over to the CT river. Only 12-18 for SE CT in '05

What is downsloping? I’m on the coast here in Fairfield CT and it seems we have had a pretty good run here with 2’+ storms. 2006 was great for us (30”), 2013 was great (35”) we do well with those (further west than modeled) death bands. They seem to set up in a similar location every time almost running through interior Maine SW through NH/VT and then south through western Mass and western/central CT. Hope you guys do well with this one.

Lmao

Also 8mb weaker. GFS is not handling this storm correctly (my opinion). Big storms come west. This is a BIG storm. We’ve seen this so many times before. If 12z euro goes east then yeah, I’d expect this to be mostly a ENE storm…

Ended up with another about 8 or 9” here in SW CT. Nice little event for sure. Loving the pack developing here. Looks to only get deeper too! Starting to look like 2011 and 2015 around here!

We coat, we cover, we soothe  ...moderate snow now 27 degrees. Looking nice. 

Where are you located?

20 minutes ago, cut said:

Viz under 1/4 mile in Bridgeport. I would think nearly or just over 1 inch per hour. Looks like 5 + should be a lock here. Maybe even 7.

Snow breeds snow. I’ve always believed in that. Bands are setting up in similar areas as last storm it looks like. White out conditions in Fairfield. Probably at least an inch per hour rates at moment. 30 degrees.

I think we are mostly done here with the accumulating snows. Great storm for coastal SW CT. 18” total. If we can squeeze out another inch or two, it’s all extra

yea Feb 03, Jan 11 and Feb 13 were all 20+ here. Thats about it for big ones.

Feb 06 30” Fairfield

Anyone from Easton CT or far north Fairfield able to send a snow total?

I swear there is something wrong with my yard. I measured in the woods out the woods. Just stuck the ruler in the ground. Averaged 13 inches. It HAS to be low. 

I’m in black rock on water and am averaging 17” still snowing pretty good

They had 12.5   90 minutes ago

They had 10.5 at 12:51.lmao that measurement is not correct
