It appears they actually edited that, and downgraded our area a little bit for accums, an hour and a half after the 1:17pm map. 

 

Im right on the northern line of uncertainty

So I wasn’t able to get pics of the front of the car as it was pouring ran and I was holding my daughter. A nice lady who was behind us saw it happened and allowed us to sit her car while we waited for the police. Oh and she gave me an umbrella. I wish I had gotten her number to give the umbrella back and thank her. She said she was scared for us so she was relieved we were ok. Apparently the cars behind her though were honking not knowing what had happened and then a bunch of guys got out and moved the tree to make the road passable. Not concerned one bit for the smashed car or the folks involved lol. 
 

When I came around the bend, it didn’t look real for a split second but I jammed on the breaks and braced for impact. There was that fraction of time where I closed my eyes and hoped for the best. The good thing is my car kept rolling forward after impact, I don’t know how though. Maybe I split the tree and rolled over it? It doesn’t look like it so I honestly don’t know how I got 10-20yds past the tree. All I know is when I opened my eyes I smelled smoke and my dad instincts took over so I quickly got my daughter out of the back seat and got us away. 
 

Glad everyone's ok, goes to show there are some nice people in this world.

My wife works at a big insurance company and we've always had good insurance, this year they changed and we now have a $5,000  deductible. Its ridiculous.

52 Winds are howling, my dog was scared to go out at first when she heard the winds.

6” average  

Bare in many south facing spots that were wind blown to begin with.

Pack is weak. 

Didn't you have a 30" plus pack a couple weeks ago?

Hopefully this is Mother Nature getting the torches out of the way early and we can have a cold/snowy March and April.

If we whiff on the "epic pattern" being talked about and then torch again later in the month, not sure how spring skiing can work aside from some ribbons of death stuff. Natural trails are already mostly shut down over here, at least.

What's your pack down to now?

So this is it for me with snow observations over what's left of the season.  This house is in foreclosure and I'm moving into an apartment in the middle of the year. 

Might be for the best, the apartment will probably be easier on you.

There’s no debating that the late Feb / early March sun will melt the snow more quickly than December January I don’t care what the dew point is. That’s all we are saying, I’ll take snow any month but it will melt quickly this time of year is our only point. The inch from Saturday was gone in less than 24 hours with temperatures below freezing and low dews as well. 

I still have some areas on the north side of my house with snow cover but the rest was gone the next day.

I want this godawful winter to end. It is about as irredeemable to me as it can get.

I just haven't been the same since my dad passed, and I don't want to drag others down ruminating about that here. I could use a landscape change. 

I respect that it's Feb 21 and winter isn't (and shouldn't be) over, so I'm posting less. Carry on. 

Sorry to hear that, I lost both my parents not too long ago so I know how you feel. They wouldn't want you to wallow in a depression so enjoy the things that make you happy. We still have some good times coming in the next few weeks so try and enjoy it best you can.

Looks like some serious cold to start March

I was in that little space between bands and got just a little light snow. Towns to my north and south got the whiteout conditions, missed it here.

Looks to be snowing in Greenfield for once

You can see a little accumulation on the roads and buildings, the heavy squall is still behind.

I think some areas in N CT had 4-5” in that one. I think even BDL in the valley cleaned up. 

I think I had 4 in that one, I was in a good spot. looks like I'm in a decent spot for todays too, 1 solid inch would be nice.

Most epic melt ever. I had 40+ Gone in a week. Most in a day like you said. 
 

But at least they were the mother of all cutters. I think it was the first one that had a lot of damage. 

That was the year I had my deepest pack, even better than 2015, and it disappeared in a couple days.

18 minutes ago, ORH_wxman said:

Yeah that squall line even on the robust HRRR is so narrow. The 2010 event was like 5x as wide. It was like 20+ miles wide. 
 

If it verifies that narrow then it’s going to be like 5-7 minutes and then done instead of 30+ minutes like we saw in a 2010 event. 5-7 minutes can still cause major road issues if it’s 4-5” per hour stuff, but you’d still end up with under an inch. 

Maybe with the little band in front before the squall we get a good inch.

Given the car shortage, more than I thought, but the same '22 model is about 20% more than I what paid 3 years ago.

I got in an accident and had to get a rental and it was the same as yours $25 a day. My agent upped mine for very little money so when it happened again I got it fully paid, it's not much more to up the rental to $50 per day.

I miss that place immensely. Even the 2 hour lines for 12 cans. Was 20 minutes from me . Just had such a special feel 

You wouldn't believe the money they make there, I know the banker that loaned them the money, he was astounded.

Try 5 min lol. 

Nice squall line though even though its short duration. Used to get more of these back in the early 90's winters.

Not February but the Grinch storm of 2007 wiped out my 23" pack in Bethlehem in a day. I think it was 12/23 give or take a day.

It wiped a good pack here too, I think we were at about 20 inches when I got up Christmas morning it was all gone.

That seems to be the way a lot of people use it, but the term just doesn’t make sense that way – if the storm “cuts” to the east of their area, nobody calls it a “cutter”.  If a storm “cuts” through the central Great Lakes, it’s east of some places, like Chicago, but west of a place like Buffalo – so the same storm would be a “cutter” for Buffalo, but not for Chicago.  A basis as Coastal indicated, with the term stemming from a fixed geographical area is the most logical, in that it’s based on a storm having a surface low track that “cuts” through the Great Lakes.

We make stuff up here to suit our needs, someone here made up SWFE

Thanks, that’s helpful, and I think I’ve heard the origin in passing before (such as the full expression “Great Lakes Cutter”), but the Great Lakes part is almost always left out, so just seeing “cutter” 99% of the time, the relevance of the term seems to get lost.  But why are we so special?  A storm that puts Buffalo, or Cleveland, or Chicago right in the meat of the warm sector would typically “cut” through a different part of the lakes, and if a storm passes far enough to the west, it starts to become irrelevant here.  And, people have been referring to this current storm as a “cutter” for a week or two, and the surface low isn’t even moving through the Great Lakes – it’s passing east of all the lakes and right through New England.  The way people use the term, one gets the feeling that it’s just applied to any storm in which the warm sector hits their area of interest, so maybe there’s some inconsistency in use that adds to the confusion.

I thought it meant any low that cut to our west, whether through the Great Lakes, the St Lawrence or even over northern NE.
