this front should pretty much do it for leaf fall .. there's always that one day in late October early November where it's a brisk cold front and knocks all the rest of the leaves off, and full force cleanup begins. I'm happy I'm finally not traveling this year at this time to get final garden stuff done before ground freeze

I normally take a break from the forum during the spring and summer, but man, 6.37" of rain in the last 24 hours, honestly stopped around 8 this morning, so from 1400hrs yesterday to 0800 today... I saw a cocorah report in Cornwall of over 9", and someone said I think Putnam cty NY had over 10, washed out roads and bridges. I just flew back from Florida late Saturday night, like almost midnight, and when I left it had poured to where it flooded areas there...so I've seen a lot of rain in the last few days, luckily no basement flooding, good luck everyone!

Let's 3/14/17 instead 

yes please, that was my biggest storm since moving here I believe, and haven't had more than 16 since, I think have to check the archives...

unless we get another .3" from here out looks like that's a wrap, 11.7" storm total, will see in the morning if anything else fell on the cleared spot but I have to say, 8-12 was my call from the beginning and that is about where we landed, here anyway... little higher all around me was over a foot, and damn some of the numbers from the usual spots approaching 40 is insane for like 24 hours... I will be leaving Friday morning for nearly a month in Florida so I doubt I'll see snow again until next season, so at least I was here for the nice little stretch to get me over 40 on the season... amazing that some got today what I got all season! thems the breaks.nice storm all around, what could have been if we were 5degrees colder.

looks like another hour or so of this and then it's showers, making a run at 12, needs to keep up the pounding though

Should be winding down in the new few hours, if you have any final snowfall reports from CT let me know, big or small, 0 or 15, let me know, thanks

11.2 and still dumpage...

is this stalled or retro? seems like it's been in the same position for a while now

Couldn’t believe the difference around 2pm driving thru Winsted on rt44 was just wet, going into Colebrook to the windfarm on the top of Flagg hill road, climbing out of Winsted on 44 through the rock cut the snow picked up intensity and road was covered, easily 16-18” when I got to Flagg hill and wires/trees down everywhere 

yeah nuts the difference just a few miles and a little elevation made...as I said before, east side of the river in Enfield, nada otg and 35... barkhamsted up on 219, was over a foot

I'm glad I went out and cleaned the taters earlier, because having another few inches of better ratio stuff on top of that would have been a mess, especially with the wind blowing it all back in the face... decided against the shield on the new blower, which would have probably been the best attribute of it, first gear is so fast, the blower bounces instead of putting along, and the new "smart steering" technology has me fighting the blower on where I want to go, as opposed to where it goes, gonna take some getting used to...btw, still poundtown here, vis is a few hundred yards for over an hour now.

plainville NY, 36" and still snowing... Windsor Mass 31", also still snowing, some incredible amounts coming in.

About 14” on winter hill so far. But man, literally about 5 miles northwest where they weren’t flirting as close with the 0C line at 925 overnight, they have 20-24” (and then another 10 miles further north is where the 30 burgers might happen) There was both an elevation gradient and a geographical one around the city of Worcester because that 925-950 0C line was almost overhead for about 6-8 straight hours last night. 

nice, other than those who were unfortunate to not flip last night, that insane tracking leading up to this was worth the headache, my biggest storm in I believe 5 years... what's funny is my wife had a memory from 6 years ago where I was wearing my snow cleaning gear, so March of 17, I think I got over 16 on that one, have to check the archives... looks like we still have a few hours to go here too

Id imagine you're close to 12?

little more than 10 atm, combining what I measured this morning and what fell after the slot... but if this keeps up we'll hit 12 for sure, dumping out there

Incoming for ORH county (and metro west)

 

beast mode there, what you up to?

absolutely pouring snow right now and winds picked up, last hurrah? I was expecting a clap of thunder, vis under 1/4mi for the last half hour

pretty interesting drive to Enfield to see a test setup, basically once I crossed the Dexter coffin bridge there was 0 snow on the ground...on the way there, it was ripping snow from my house until just near bdl, but on top of the hill between barkhamsted and Granby was a mess, roads, tree limb down, utility crews working everywhere... picked up another 2.5" since I cleaned at noon, so that is 9.7 total, of course compaction doesn't show, but still coming down at 32, and radar looks good for at least a couple more hours

how much so far?

measure 7.2 at 7 clearing, not much since, in fact compaction has reduced it some... buddy in Norfolk had 9, for another data point

man if this slot can fill in and we rip here for a few more hours, we'd be gold

picking up again, decent growth and still hoovering around 32/33 all morning, winds seem to have shifted to the N now a lot of what pasted the trees has since fallen with winds and being around or above freezing, so that's good power wise.

this slot is killing me, been just on the outside of the goods for a couple hours, just when it starts to rip, it shuts off to light snow again

compaction in the dry slot, measured 7.2 earlier, starting to pick up a bit again, hoping to rip later when that pivots through

been a bit of a slot since about 7, and measured 7 at that time, pasted on anything it could, power must have flickered during the time between 5 and then because clocks are blinking, but this stuff is man snow, radar upstream looks good if it can pivot through eastward

woke to 6 of absolute mashed potatoes, covered everything, I would not be shocked if power goes, still ripping too

closing in on an inch now, I just hope we stay frozen, then we'll verify here.. bed soon up early to see what fell, good luck all!

I’m at 970ft in harwinton it’s all snow @CT Rain

yeah completely coated here, roads too, those paws really slushed things up now it's accumulating nicely

paws have gotten smaller, but still snowing good, about 1/2mi vis, I can barely make out my 1/4mi marker so maybe a little less than 1/2
