Not a flake here.  Decent radar returns for a couple hours, but nothing hit the ground.  

same... thought at least some flakes but nada

the res on 318 in barkhamsted finally froze over, haven't been up to highland lake, but that was always a big ice fishing spot that I don't think has been frozen in some time, maybe 5 years or so at least.

Sometimes legit ones happen.  We had one in... January? last year that was pretty nuts

we also had one when I was still living in Waterbury, put down like 3-5 inches...I do not remember the year, but I am sure Will does. I wanna say 2010 or 11 but could be wrong.

quick half inch in that squall...man I'd love a day of those rates, with the wind too...we stat pad..

choking flakes in this squall, best rates this winter maybe...

nice squall line approaching, Berks usually wring out most of it but sometimes they are strong enough to lay down a little, we'll see soon...

Same problem here.  Some ice dams and frozen downspouts.  Hopefully it clears today.  

yeah happens every year, but we recently put gutters on this old house, I honestly didn't want them but my dad did so, knock yourself out...of course he's out there with a heat gun, despite me telling him it's going to be above freezing and south facing... he's just trying to get away from my mom I think.

up to a balmy 33.3 out there... illuminati confirmed, but first above freezing since Monday. my downspout will enjoy this and unfreeze hopefully.

I wonder if that seemingly omnipresent bundle of energy in the SW CONUS inhibits any subtle amplification of that clipper....may be more more likey for things to trend towards the GEM camp than the GFS.

that's seemed to have been there most of this pattern

What kind of heater?

It is a Dreo PTC Fan Heater, considerably by a long shot better than the oil radiator or the milk house heaters I have used. My office is only about 200 square feet, and it is toasty in here.

Both options suck , but I think if you had to choose dry and cold is better. Rainy warm winters ruin everything.

down to 7.0 here, don't think I'll get as low as last night...on the preference of winter, if it ain't going to snow, I'd prefer warmer, cold dry sucks in a lot of ways, including energy bills. my attic office is well insulated but still needs a lot of heat in winter and A/C in summer, but winter is worse... just bought a great new heater though, makes it toasty at half the wattage.

Boru's? Lol

nah, I used to frequent mostly dive bars, a lot of which I heard or know are no longer even standing, but they were fun neighborhood bars.

Feb 13?

yeah that's a close 3rd, but not as impactful as 78 or Oct 11... that was the most intense snow I've ever seen though. 96 came close at times, I was out bar hoppin in Waterbury during that, fun times.

bottomed out at- 8.9 early morning, got up to 19.2, down to 2.4 now that it's clear and dropping like a rock, a degree in the last 10 minutes.

Kind of reminds me of the Oct 11 stat in New England. More snow at climo sites from that one storm then all the years combined, on all the dates added together through Oct 30th. 

was thinking about this comparison earlier, or the 93 storm how hyped that was, and delivered, my all time memory is 78, not much has topped that but Oct 11 comes close as a lifetime event.

I think it’s amazing. I wish they were more pictures and reports coming in.

I've been watching while I work, all the chasers out there, two in down town NOLA right now and it's dumping and blowing... I'm sure there will be more pics incoming. lots of ppl out walking around in the city loving it. They are saying NOLA official record is 8.1", but there's some skeptical opinions on this because both Lafayette and NOLA records are from 1885 I think, so who knows how that was measured.

5" and dumping in NOLA rn... unreal again I'm in awe of this...

it's absolutely choking snow down there right now, would not be surprised if Blizzard is verified somewhere, being flat and nothing to break the wind... getting some gulf moisture I'm sure too adding to the convection

was watching Brandon copic live storm chasing the bands, confirmed TSSN where he's at... unbelievable

I feel like this is pretty darn exciting!! Some places down there will at least briefly see S++,maybe even a little TSSN.....They're gonna loose their minds

cantore is there, of course TSSN will occur, I'd love to see him on the beach during a blizzard warning in Louisiana... still not believing that statement, just issued a WSW for Duval county in FL too...

What about 2023 when even KBOS was -10?

could be, I have to check the archives, but I don't remember off top of head last time it was this cold

bottomed out at -8.9 early this morning, coldest Jan morning since I believe 2014
