not that it's worth it but .25" here in Winsted pixie dust stuff

we need to get a good bowling ball come down and pop off the coast to ease the tension a bit, I'd love for a region wide KU with wind etc, but I'll settle for something in the cold that's been around for awhile now, shame to waste it.

High at my station was 33.1 today, but most stations around the area never went above freezing...quite the temp gradient to be mid 40s 20 miles away.

From all the data I collected prior to me moving here, and the last 12 years of living here...these are the averages for my area...granted there were a couple of years with missing data, but those were not small total years, so margin of error on the upside I would guess, but since we moved here, we only had 4 years that were about average, with 16-17 being the winner with just over 90". The first two winters were good too, over that average, and good pack if I recall in 13/14 and 14/15. Obviously the 20's are only half complete (and include the 11" this season) but not looking so good as far as averages go, we'd need to rock for a couple years to get there. AVG. 89.27" MAX- 177.46"- 1955/56 MIN- 27.15"- 2015/16 73.31" - Average 30's 89.10" -Average 40's 105.45" -Average 50's 118.45" -Average 60's 106.40" -Average 70's 83.14" -Average 80's 78.45" -Average 90's 68.73" -Average 00's 72.00" -Average 10's 36.82" -Average 20's

If the Euro can come into the party, and we are still seeing consistency with the GFS/GEFS within 96 hours, I think we have a pretty high confidence...of course anything has taught us in the past that anything can and will happen, I am almost skeptical until go time at this point...or wait until the NAM spits out it's 60+ inch amount run...

yeah I'd prefer that too, usually when they cash in I'm not far behind, usually do best here with canal runners from Montauk

well, it's gone from 46 to 36 in about 2.5 hours, winds definitely picking up too...

as long as we have a decent cold air mass around, there may be something that materializes, the cold dry/warm wet winter crap is what gets everyone down. we've got a decent close to climo temp stretch, maybe the block weakens some and allows for what some ensembles show, until we get within a few days, with model consensus, we can only watch and hope.

that was one of my favorite winter months of all time, that norlun event gave me a foot in Waterbury at the time, it was nuts digging a path for the oil delivery and seeing the different layers from each. I topped at 39" but that path started at that and by the time I got to the street it was over 6' from plows and blowing it there, best all time single pack event will still be 2013 those, 33" otg when I woke. think Hamden jacked with 40" in that one.

was hoping that area up around ALY was going to make it down here but looks like Berks is about as south as it goes...

town of Winchester absolutely digging up the road with the plows with 0 snow on them, and the day about a week ago when I was gone, 0 trucks town or otherwise and accidents everywhere, it's mind blowing the waste, but Merry Christmas and a white one for those who got it today!

nice little event, just broke an inch, have to say that was modeled pretty well, by almost every one. Wish we could get that kind of alignment with larger events, and hopefully this weekend works some cold in but I'll take my 11" to date going into Jan and be happy.

still looks like a possible fropa/squall line tomorrow to whiten things up a bit, maybe?

bottomed out at 3.6 here this morning...still struggling to hit double digits at 9.7. coldest day I can remember in a while, with the wind too. Son had a basketball game last night, and it was freezing in the gym too.

all done now, but that area of decent echoes has been parked over the berks for a grip, any word on if it's producing?

for scale...

just topped 1.5 here (on the deck and board anyway), very surprised, I drove to Waterbury and back and basically nothing below Torrington but been steady good growth here since my last post.

never got above 28 here, think that helped the pixie dust accumulate to around.3 so far, off and on larger dendies mixing in, roads out by Granby way were a little sketchy earlier when it was coming down good, but a nice little whitening anyway, congrats east, someone should pick up a few inches there...

looks like a solid inch on anything but the roads, nice little squall there

in my opinion a trace is any amount that can stay on any surface for some time, a dusting is a trace on most surfaces but can still see what is underneath, a coating is any that completely covers everything but is less than a half inch... that said wish I was home to see it, down in chilly South Florida for a few days, traveling back Thursday, be home Saturday latest, just in time for the warm up. nice winter vibes from the pics.

there was about .5" otg when I left my house this morning, but mostly grass deck and cars, nothing on driveway, sidewalk etc..

1.28"RN since this started ..been snowing since at least 4 here, whitening up the grass deck and cars...

we have wet flakes mixing in here in Winsted...was just watching Brandon copics chaser cam in Scranton, 84/81 are pretty snow covered in the higher elevation areas, man I literally just drove through there a couple days ago and will again day after thanksgiving, that should be a fun ride the way it's looking...

was a great year for peppers, most I ever had. literally pounds of relish etc...tomatoes are now done as of yesterday. onward to clear out and plant garlic before freeze...got down to 37 last night, still no frost that I've seen or observed.

That was one of the biggest svr outbreaks associated with a tropical system I think I ever saw. NWS Miami reports 98 warnings today alone, I think that was the number...my cousin in Jupiter had a drill bit go through there about an hour ago, couple of homes damaged and a fire next door.
