all this talking about volcano debris causing cooling in the atmosphere and effects on weather etc, let's mention the crap they've been spraying in the jet stream for years now, apparently to aid in military radio transmission, but who knows, I can say this though, as an aerospace engineer, it's definitely not a contrail and I've seen days forecast for clear skys end up milky white by the time they're done spraying...and they constantly rotate pilots, maintenance crews etc, so they don't work with each other for extended periods of time, that, can have an effect on the weather.

Navy..seamen...spunk, I see what you did there

I'm assuming that WU uses the GFS to spit out what it thinks will occur, has me getting like 10" from Friday into Saturday???

if this doesn't trend colder, and I mean no ice, we still have a relatively favorable stormy looking pattern the next couple weeks from what I see, reinforcement of cold etc

I'm down! prime climo incoming

was going to be GA, north of ATL, but read last post, explained it, I just missed the dumpster fire on I81 on the way down

forgot to mention, that ain't going to happen after all, for now anyway, parents in failing health so I can't do the back and forth for months until I get a permanent residence there, kinda sucks but I can't leave my wife to tend to everything and my boys ain't old enough to manage, driveway glacier case in point, on top of wood for the fireplace, apparently they ran out while I was gone and never said anything, just too much I have to do here, someday I guess

just a day so I can chip the glacier away...then back to business

I question the warm up too, maybe get to seasonal, but it's also been trending cooler with that as well, we'll see, could actually use a couple days of thaw

I'm all set with ice too, last storm I wasn't here and my dad didn't finish the driveway, because he's old and all, but I have like a good area of 6" glacier that won't budge, made yesterday difficult but also looks deep winter out there... I'll take anything but zr at this point, still a ways to go with this one

ALY had two reports from public spotters, of 4 & 4.5 for Winsted center, another report of 5.4" for 2 miles from my house, which lines up with my measurements, I mean I had 3.5" at my 10am clearing yesterday and the best stuff came after that...also noticed some whacky random 20+ reports in eastern orh/west hampden cty, that didn't seem to fit the majority of reports coming from there...is it possible there's some weird microclimate areas that pile up snow mere miles away from others reporting less, or just inaccurate measurements, some by non coop or skywarn, that NWS logs as legit?

let's hope law of average help us in that regard, and we get one that nails CNE/WNE peeps

what year and how muchwas the record for Jan atBos? 2011?

just got a bit more than last week's here, so we had a glacier on the driveway as I was in Georgia for that one, so nearly a foot otg in spots here... but the driveway is a mess because I wasn't here for cleaning it, made clearing this one difficult

for me? 5.7, took numerous measurements, had 3.5 at 10 clearing, and it stopped around 430 here... but got me over 20 on the year with a few solid weeks to go... what you wind up with?

are you using a venier caliper for measuring??

i usually take the gloves off and stick them in front of exhaust for a few whenever hands get cold, it works man... fortunately I have military cold/wet gear, so the only thing that ever gets cold is fingers and that's what I do... I need to fix my ariens because my dad's dinosaur blower doesn't have independent rear wheel, fighting that thing every time I use it, but at least I got a blower, would suck to do my driveway and walks

wow, seeing these remind me of 2013 storm, with that mega band, went to sleep with at least 12-16" and woke up with 32" and drifting over cars to where I couldn't even see them, congrats!! that's awesome

looks like you got close to or over a foot there no? what about Ginx you guys pretty close?

where are you again? I'm on phone so it doesn't show location, thought you were in southington for some reason, and what you end with...btw awesome sunset if anyone caught it

James would be happy with the storm named after him I reckon

after much measuring for an average of 20 measurements, 5.7" is the result submitted, I see someone in sandisfield submitted the same, so feel accurate about it...top gust was 43, within the last hour believe it or not, and sustained 21... decent storm here, unlike out east, where epicocity was had, always fun cleaning snow in single digits and 20mph wind with the blower, but military cold weather gear ftw!! congrats out east guys, who maxed so far?

iss this the first official?? I was waiting for someone to verify

looks like a nice little band forming on the CT RI border moving west

honestly wasn't expecting much more than what I got, and I'm over 20 on season so okay with me
