coming down at a decent clip now, started as SN, flipped to IP/RN now solid SN with nice dendies

actually snowing pretty good last hour, accumulating about I'd say near a half inch since about 3 when it started snizzlin, now decent dendrites falling with ripping winds, deep 3" drifts

very nice deep winter feel last couple days, snow in the air gusty artic hound winds, feels very much like mid January!

somehow managed 1" of pixie today with a few short bursts of decent snow growth, and despite radar still wringing out the low lvl moisture, combined with the 3.5 the other day I'm at 19" on the season, half of last year about.

@Sey-Mour Snow 3.5" of SN, IP, and a little ZR for your records...

back to ripping snow here, just as my dad got done cleaning it...was right at 3" before the flip, I'd say another .25" in the last half hour, looks like back edge approaches tho. roads were a mess leaving work to come home around 1, pouring rain at 24F is not a good time on the hills, plus a truck was going 5mph up 219, took an hour and a half to get home from basically BDL

flipped at BDL within the last half hour, still snow at home in Winsted, had just over 2 there when I left at 11

Snowfall totals around the area as of 7AM

I got an inch too...

meh...bout an inch, snow growth has been paltry at least since 430, vis is about a mile, looks like the best good are going north into the berks points N and E awt

appears 84S & E taint on the NAM, maybe someone just North of that rips for a bit... Berks up through SNH into southern Maine getting hammered 8+, 3-6 down to 84 and 1-3 to the coast I'd say now.

Squalling to beat the band in Westfield

that's the one that was supposed to bang on here, but 5 minutes of grap was it..

meh on the squalls but winds have sent the hens into the coop.. it's literally pounding squalls all around my area it seems, I need something to come up from SW instead of W, because by the time they get here they break up or shift NE

btw, gusting over 40 here now in the last half hour frequent...

haven't seen much but some flakes here, brief burst of mod, but apparently the one coming warrants a warning... nice to see all the pics of ppl getting crushed by squalls!

we just had a random gust that knocked over a 100lb large desk top on my desk, otherwise flurries and breezy, hoping to catch that line around the NY border

so between 1&4 o'clock moving across SNE tomorrow? just curious...also just realized my anemometer crapped the bed, so I have to rely on the volunteer FD down the road for wind reports... bummer

can imagine with high winds and frequent gusts, a lot of trees come down in saturated ground

were you able to open the pic? i just realized it didn't embed, anyway it was a pic of about 18 during the storm on my grill, I stayed up all night for that one, and delayed a job interview because of it.

That was a great storm. I had about 20” in that. That month was crazy.

I had no idea there was one 3 days before my favorite storm (2/5/01). Was that more up your way?

that was a good year, I was rewiring a bank mostly second shift, in Fairfield and at noon they told us to call it, but it came down so hard and fast the Merritt was stopped and we got to Rt8 an hour later, didn't get home until like 10 that night, unsure if it was the Feb storm, but some fun ones that season

Yeah that was 1/28/10

yeah was nuts, I think there was a lawsuit or something that came out of that, because there were kids stuck on a bus on a hill until like night time, and I think another accident...they dismissed school early past tuesday because of wind...pfft! it's breezy out, send em home early!

I recall one I wanna say was after 07 cause it was after I bought the house in Waterbury, we had heavy accumulating squall event right when school let out and a lot of buses got stuck and a couple had accidents, with all them hills it was insane

EPS sig for 1/19-20 is def there. Needs a bit of work but not bad for d7. 
 

 

Good cluster, but not that amped...still time to work that. I figure what happens on the 16/17th will have an effect on this one, with the s/w's being so close together. 

Jan 2011 waterbury...Season of yore!

1/28/10 was the one you're prob thinking of. That was an epic setup. We're not repeating that since winds are too much westerly component in this one, but there def could be some pretty good squalls.

was that the one that put down a quick 5-6" in spots of SNE?
