1.4 today.....46.1 season to date Call it seasonal average reached....the winter already has an A in the bag with the extended cold , frequency of snow events, lack of cutters and days over 50F, one big event and snow otg much of the winter with deep snow otg for over a month! The only thing that would bring this to an A+ would be one more big storm 15 plus or another 25 inches of accumulating snow.

1.4

Especially with the timing...at least for most of CT. Was there even a special weather statement?

Wow...even Worcester varied a lot.

BDL used to be terrible back in the 90s and early 2000s. Those PNS statements are pretty wild too, especially Upton's. Sometimes the same towns with similar time stamps are 15-20 plus inches different lol Agree it was ordinary made much more dramatic by all the wind. At least we will make our 50 inch "average" this year.

I'm only 3 miles from the CT border and I only got 6 inches.

1.5 that day last week before changeover to brief icy mix(fell in about 40 minutes) 6 from the storm that clobbered RI and SE Mass Season total so far 44.7

I'm going to record six inches. Anything more than that I think is suspicious.

In good conscience I can only record 6 inches where I am. It was very disappointing but watching the system bury the bottom half of RI was pretty cool. Tracking the system for a few days was cool too. It seemed from just north of Providence the amounts for awhile went down pretty quick...that is one of the biggest variances in snow amounts over a short distance I have ever heard of , Inverted troughs aside.

I did watch Corys video a few times and there's no doubt his area got boned for whatever reason. He had to be in a narrow subby zone between the Goliath Central and southern RI band and the one just to his NE. That is just horrible luck. I totally believe it and kinda feel bad for him but that said his area should be well cleaned up and he should go out and look to see in different directions how long it takes to run into massive amounts. An inch or so of snow in nine hours is horrible in his area but sub zones can do that. If he had say peak depths of new snow in the teens then it tappered off for the next 8-9 hours hen that wind is going to do some serious compaction. I would buy him getting 14-18 inches allowing for settling and compaction etc.

That looks very legit to me. I think anything from 35 to 45 is acceptable there down through southern and central RI. That looks like a bit more than some of those Cape pictures from 2005 in areas where 30-38 inches fell.

And I will gladly take those too even if its a three to six inch thump before mixed precip and a little rain or frz rain. These things just have to check so many boxes to lay it down here...I knew better but I still was too sucked in Somewhere between six and eight today and its already compacted some with the strong winds

Yup that was the nail in the coffin and the GFS reminding us that it still is a little to Indiana Jones one to two days out....just gets carried away

Earlier it looked like the cape and islands were getting boned

Is it possible he is in some kind of local mini screw zone? I know he's a lot but he does seem really passionate about it. Too bad there wasn't someone down the street who could weigh in.

Agree

That sounds more realistic

Wilbraham might have gotten in on some banding. I'm only thinking 7-8 here in Springfield very close to both Longmeadows

The strong winds and drifting will save the lower numbers for media damage control

Well one of the good things more often than not when coastal areas get buried is their often isn't much if any old snow cover. I feel as though inland especially when there's like three to five old otg and then they get a biggie folks often just stick the yardstick to the bottom and report that and figure no one will notice.

A good friend of mine sent me a few pictures from Green Hill. He said 27 but I think he's low but if he has a depth near 30 inches that truly is sick! Despite wind fractured flakes,settling and just compacting under its own weight that's really astonishing.

Yeah but the GFS had some ridiculous solutions. I get what you're saying though. The moves East are too much too close in. I'd say that if it went West North or South that much too. Saturday morning when things were slipping away for WOR...The GFS should have had the track nailed down better that close in. I actually think the NAM did ok. Expectations with the NAM are much less anyways

Charlestown is often a big snow hole, worse than New London and Stonington. The drifts over rt1 must be epic

I would be out of my mind. From you on East looks bleak unless there was a crazy thump last night

There might be by now. I'll take a look in a while.
