Yeah, this year is definitely not the norm....I would typically either have a mud mess or a brown glacier by now

47⁰ here, shady spots still have around 2 inches....full coverage otherwise, tomorrow should do it though, anything with sun will be swiss cheese. It is already down to 27, so that should help freeze it solid abit. We have had 3+ inches of coverage since the 26th, can't complain about that, especially in my part of SNE.

it is also showing a snowstorm in the SE region, we know that will find someway of verifying.....

Sounds about right....Is it baseball season yet?

Oh I am actually good....this is the first winter in 5 years that has actually felt like winter, so if it ended today, I would be just fine. And 40 degrees and a bit of sun felt great today, I definitely won't complain when it snows again, but the tenure of this season has definitely been better than recent years, at least around here.

Has that feeling....I'm sure it will snow again, but man it has that feeling of "what could have been" badly timed phases that result in not much of anything for SNE. We shall see, either the models have gotten better at not showing storms in the long range or we are going to be having near misses for the next 6 weeks, before the car's interior starts roasting in the mid day sun....

On the other hand, if this pattern coming up is nothing more than another tease, I am ok with a really early spring....just got my first seed catalog in the mail and the boys start indoor baseball this weekend, so I could go either way.

Right? Hopefully we can have a nice mid winter run for once. Not complaining though, despite the overall lack of snow, it has felt like winter for a change. Now lets gets some bigger systems and actually get an average winter for a change

Nice 15 minute snow burst here....mostly white rain, despite temps below freezing

GFS at hr 234 would probably send many to the edge....season after season and hearing about the great period for coastal development coming up and we end up with the GFS, 9 days from now....ooph

....easier said than done, holding a tape measure and trying to take the photo at the same time, while keeping it perfectly straight

More than me posting a measurement pic of it? Might have to call it 1.1" here....heard the plow rolling by, was only expecting a trace around here. It just wants to snow around here, until later this qeek of course....

It is a bummer too.....solid week+ and it is still a nice fluffy pack. Went for a hike today, in a sunny, open field and it was still a solid 4-5 inches. This is why early season snowfalls are nice, they stick around, even when the temps are marginal...If this was Mid February-Mid March it would have been gone by now or at least a muddy inch.

Currently -1.7⁰, finally made it below zero....I'm ok with a January thaw now with hopefully snow mid to late month. In a few short weeks I will be starting some seeds for the coming garden season.

Im sort of bummed it clouded up last night. Hit 3.9⁰ around 11 before the clouds rolled in, it was definitely going below zero....ended up with a dusting, just enough to have the plows run up and down the neighborhood....the pack is still sled worthy, so all is good here. Kids are having a blast, they were out for hours sledding after sundown because the moon was so bright.

Well, fresh snow, clear and calm is definitely living up to its potential...went to a gathering around 5, was 20⁰, just walked home and it is already 6.9⁰

2.2" Southbury Suns out, 22⁰

Missed the squall by 20 minutes....measured 2.1" and still snowing, looks like winter....

Just measured, almost an inch and still coming down nicely....Happy New Year!

coated up quickly here....radar looks pretty good, lets see if we can limp ourselves to 2 inches

That is pretty accurate here, measured between 3 and 4 in the yard today...still sleddable too, not a solid glacier

the initial line, looks like a squall flying into Southbury, will see how much virga it has with it really soon...currently 18.9/14

In all honesty, it feels like we have had back to back wins here. The 8ish inch storm (2nd biggest in 4 years). Then despite the cutter/rain, still ended up with full snow coverage afterwards. Prior years, that would have been wiped out with only a brown glacier left behind...it actually looks and feels like winter, during winter, at least around here. The kids actually got to sled, when we got back yeaterday, I definitely did not think that was going to be possible after all the rain....now lets get some more next month

In PA, but checked the temp at home, expecting the worst, but oddly enough it is only 32.2⁰..cold air holding strong in our valley. That will dissappear quickly once the winds pick up....every minute helps with the snow pack...lol

Faked our way to 1.8⁰ this morning, looks like KOXC hit 10⁰...off to PA for a couple days, beautiful wintry morning....will look completely different went we return. Hope we still have some coverage left, but doubt it.
