4.6" total in Southbury....final burst was nice and salvaged what was a pretty meh storm. Kids had a great time regardless...
-
3.1" from the first round..... Southbury
-
How much did you end up with?
-
Had 3.1" around 12:15 before the sleet and eventually rain took over...hit 35.1⁰ around 5 am, back down to 33.3⁰ with some light snow...hopefully we can pick up a couple refresher inches later, but not expecting much...congrats to those in the north!

1.8" so far here in Southbury, 30.4 atm....had a bit of a lull earlier and is starting to pick back up now
-
Got down to 14⁰ this morning...still sitting at 23⁰. Clouds are pretty thick already, lets keep the ground nice and cold for the snow when it comes in. Hoping for 4-8 here, but always fear the dryslot cutoff/earlier changeover in this area with that low tucking in like mesos are showing right now. Soon time to nowcast the first batch and watch what happens tomorrow....Good luck! Biggest storm here, last year was 5", hopefully we can top that.

Sorry about the imby question, but thoughts on start time tomorrow and is this thing coming in like a wall of snow? Travel bball games tomorrow, game in Ridgfield from 3 to 415...just a bit worried about getting stuck in what I would assume will be a traffic disaster coming back to Southbury. Thanks!

Hopefully this isn't one of those 4-6 inch forecasts that ends up 1-2 inches that quickly changes to sleet and light rain...35⁰ for most of the day Sunday that then freezes everything after the sun goes down type events Just let us enjoy some sledding Sunday and Monday before we need the kayaks and generators....

best time of year for mood snows, should still accumulate assuming the boundary layer isn't torched. I remember sitting in school hoping for an early dismissal as the snow was coming down for hours, not knowing it was going to be hours of white rain because late February/early March. But as soon as the sun started to set, the roads would become an instant disaster....

Ha, I was just thinking how this thing isn't inside of 84hr where the NAM can start being the NAM.... One bad omen is this was a Sunday storm down here, now I am seeing this possibly starting Saturday evening. Storm is booking it here, so it probably is outrunning something leading to to the uglier look right now. Hopefully it comes back to something from 0z last night....
-
Erratic OP run for sure, but the OP has been subtly shifting the goods South the past few runs while the trend on the GEFS for the past 2 days, even at 6z is to bring more moisture NW...I guess we shall see what the 12z GEFS bring, hopefully not the start of a trend....
-
So, what I am getting from this is to not be surprised when once again the planetary forces will find a way to not let it snow in SNE.... It will eventually snow around here, but in the end likely another 2 week winter incoming. Hope I am wrong, but it has been rough.
-
I used my snow shovel yesterday to clean up the debris from 4+ inches of rain. I have actually used snow shovels more the past 2 years for things not related to snow....Hopefully we make up for this sooner rather than later, but at this point who knows....Seen too many seasons of warm/wet, cold/dry patterns
-
Anecdotally, from my perspective....Where have all the smaller snow events gone? Besides 2014/15, I feel like the 1-3/2-4/3-6 storms have all but disappeared. The so called bread and butter events. Growing up in the Mid Atlantic region, they have all but disappeared down there as well... Would be interesting to see the rates of marginal events per year, I would assume they have decreased in frequency, but.... Snow days have been replaced with wind/flood days..
