I was only about six to eight miles west of a solid foot. I recorded eight inches total which included about an inch and a half ull stuff Mon night. Average forecast around here was 18-20 inches. I would've been ok with a foot and a few hours of heavy falling snow with decent growth.

There was some crazy weather in the Northeast and eastern Ohio valley that winter for sure

I remember some brutal cold days that winter, complete with plenty of wind too. Pretty sure that was the winter we had a tremendous amount of sleet and temps in the ten degree range after about six inches of Arctic sand with one event

.3 Sunday and .1 today brings us to 11.2 for the season so far.....lots of cold days and lots of days with a couple inches Otg Pretty wintry period. I guess its fitting this system would wind down as a period of snow today.

I thought the sun was supposed to be out by now

Same here now

Chunks of icy snow and little beads of sleet in East Longmeadow at work. Wiz has snow just north of here.... Didn't see any mention of that in the point and click. Nice glaze on sidewalks and driveways this morning. Kind of a wintry system even here just no real significant accums but enough to be slick.

I wish it wasn't happening. I'd give anything to see winter flounder return to the numbers we had in the late 70s and 80s. As someone who has salt water fished the past 40 plus years so much points to warming waters. If we had consistently colder winters the codfish would have a better chance of producing conditions which would aid in maximizing spawning recruitment which at least might combat some of the overfishing problems and maybe it wouldn't have had to be closed.

That's awesome Steve. Its interesting, all the extra fluffy snow you guys got didn't change peak depths much anyways.

Well then both of you

You're scaring the Karen's!

Ten inches above average. I guess that could be well above average at 120 percent just seems kind of meh but all that baking powder and consistent cold did put down a two foot depth on the level pretty late into the season which is nothing to sneeze at. There just wasn't any Thunder snow or prolonged 2-3+/hr rates or much currier and ives upper level stuff and only one of those events produced a solid foot here in Springfield but that winter and 10-11 of course are the only times I have ever seen two feet or more on the level from successive storms in my 21 years in Springfield.

I'm way more jealous of the storm the winter before last that was supposed to be an easy peasy locked in low double digit event that did a Messenger shuffle just before game time and central and southern ct again crushed it making diamonds out of some wild forcing just twenty miles south of us. All the stories from Bristol and West Hartford Meriden etc of 2-4/hr snows and the most beautiful flakes and snow growth that man ever did see. We picked up a quick three or four inches with the amounts rapidly tapering off just to the north and west. The sun came out and half of that was gone by noon while snowmen were taking over Hartford county.

Both of those were Swiss cheese storms on the maps...both haves and have nots...There was a storm before the big Feb 83 event in January that year that I think was pretty solid 195 N and W

My goodness, what is up with all the sick people?? My two housemates were bedbound for days last week and still have coughs that would scare away Freddy Krueger. Hope you feel better soon man! Solid coating here....threatening .2
