    so I went into the office today, across the street from BDL, and on the way in you could see where that secondary band kinda cut off in western Granby, going up the hill in barkhamsted it was looking like here, also had to go to Waterbury today and just south of about harwinton it seemed a bit less, but Waterbury looks like maybe 12/13" fell, I assume from the initial push, that fizzled out overnight, then the banding took over around predawn time

    nice analysis, would explain why my area down to about DXR was seeing on and off SN+ while 15-20mi east of me was light snow, it really ripped here for a good part of yesterday morning, then would wave on and off as the dry air was trying to push east as it moved... but that band down there was relentless with the rates good Lord!

    those things are assholes, between them, the chipmunks eating my berries, and the rats that somehow always migrate from disgusting neighbors house to feed at the coop, we're constantly chasing critters out... looks good weather wise going into March tho huh! if next week transpires, it can go right to 70s for all I care. been a decent winter, best since 14/15 here.

    anyone know what the pressure got to bottom at and was it anywhere close to record deepening? I don't recall these stats, I thought hurricane Gloria was the fastest mb drop or a west Atlantic storm but I could have that incorrect.
  5. tavwtby
    wow, they blew past that record huh, can't imagine that being surpassed in my life, it's held for almost 40 years, and now it's an insane total, what a storm for them, fairly well modeled with that area getting the goods

    @The 4 SeasonsI tried to send you a message but it said you couldn't receive them? anyway there's a 15.6 ob on the NWS site and mine was 15.2, use whichever in this instance as well, also I'm about 71" on the season, haven't updated the forum total in a while

    ah, you got the track one, we decided to get the 28" "smart trac" drive, honestly I prefer my old ariens, 0 point turn, and 1st gear was slow... this one is more powerful but goes where it wants not where I want, and needs a gear between 0 and first, I have to feather the clutch to go slower, but it doesn't struggle that's what matters, it throws snow like 40', how's the turning on that one?

    was just thinking that, we'd be probably close to 100" region wide, and honestly this storm and that norlun last week left some on the table, but nonetheless, still close to climo, I'd give this winter an A right now for that and the temps, think I had one day over 45 since early November! that's nuts

    well that got me just a few inches away from climo avg on 2/23, let's keep this train rolling...and to think we left a couple storms on the table, and this one could have been better if we'd gotten in on that big band, after the initial 4" last night, most of the total came from about 3am to noon, and a few of those hours was visibility in feet, I'm happy, but my back is rocking... time to chill now and await the week, see how that plays out.

    I can't believe that's still in roughly the same area, crazy...nice storm, left some on the table here but if it wasn't for that band rotting over my head it would be a forgettable nuisance storm, cleaning was tough, running out of room to put the stuff around the sidewalk area, like 5/6' piles on everyone's driveway edge, so what was the max jack? I'm sure it was posted but I don't want to go through 40 pages of posts, I see a couple 30+ amounts in RI/SEMA

    that western band while not what the fire hose has produced, has certainly made this area eventful, feel sorry for some of the CTRV folk who wound up with less than 10", my buddy in E.longmeadow said 7/8", I think that's low, because wilbraham had 12 like 3 hours ago but who knows, i averaged just over 15, still lightly snowing and about to get after it.
  12. tavwtby
    that west band is finally fizzling out I think, still light to mod snow but nothing like before, getting ready to go out and clean it soon but man that fire hose out east delivered the goods for them.
  13. tavwtby
    they already close, some obs of 26+ around Narragansett

    I've got to say, I still had about 10-12" OTG before this, glacier piles on the roadside, going to be fun clearing this later, some sick drifts between the cars and the normal spots in any NE wind driven storm... seems more N-S now, my anemometer is now frozen, highest gust I had was just over 50, that was like 3 hours ago, visibility decreasing again I'm thinking about 1/2 should be done here to get cleaning up.
  15. tavwtby
    flake size increase but not as low vis, about 1/2sm now but still piling up, wonder if that NE banding just comes down this way or starts to rotate on east as this moves away.
  16. tavwtby
    Can confirm it's epic here. Just relentless looks like that far west band I've been under is reinforcing, not sure if it'll make it here but that would be epic and push towards 18, I'm about 15/16 very hard to measure average with snow pelting my face, it's glorious!
  17. tavwtby
    rotation??
  18. tavwtby
    saw a few 24" reports from s.kingstown, New Bedford and PVD (looks like a city ob) but lots of 18-24 coming out of there.
  19. tavwtby
    that west band has really been productive, just when it eases up, the wind gusts and it snows harder, gotta be at least 15" here now, watching a 70' pine in front of the neighbors house reach it's limits is amazing, how many storms has that tree seen like this and is still around.
  20. tavwtby
    briefly white out conditions here choking flakes and vis down to feet
  21. tavwtby
    that west band is really producing goods, albeit not like that one over RI and SEMA, good lord.
  22. tavwtby
    eyeballing about 11-12 out there, will do an official measure at 9 but damn that band out east holy
  23. tavwtby
    looking like the western extent of the goods is about the HRV, bands seem to die out there
  24. tavwtby
    eyeballing about 4" and choking flakes right now, hopefully this rate continues for a grip and I'll definitely hit at least a foot here, good luck all I'm falling out soon...

    I was one of those who volunteered to drive hospital and home nurse type folk in, I had just bought a 4WD AWD vehicle and it was glorious driving around, after I dropped a few off, my buddies and I went Waterbury dive bar hopping, still I think the heaviest I've seen as far as rates was that night driving by the glow of the street lights, I think 2013 was better but I didn't see it personally as I was asleep
