That's hilarious

Was a respectable storm earlier. Quite a bit of lightning

Well better than torch I don't care what any of you say

5.0 from yesterday, season total 23.9.....puts us into ordinary ratter territory at least

Same here. We hit 32 briefly a few times during the burst early yesterday but spent the afternoon well into the 30s and 33 last night

Picked up another inch with the stuff post dry slot for a 5 inch storm total

It's tough here man. We lucked out early this morning. If you live here during a truly snowy winter, make sure you're stocked up on tranquilizers. You will marvel at all the different ways to get snow screwed lol.

Wow! Thats a boatload of snow....good for you....did you loose power?

Light rain lots of melting mashed taters 36F

So there may be a part 2 for us in Springfield? I had at least 4 inches before the slot....how much in your part of town?

Been white rain and melting in the dry slot. We had about four inches before things started to tapper off I'm good with no more accumulating snow, don't want any power or damage issues

Well the memory of October 2011 still looms fresh in my mind. No power and no internet for at least 7 days. I would love to be buried as much as any other winter weather enthusiast but not at that expense. I lost $500 worth of fresh and frozen food and it was in the 40s to around 50 in the house. Not something I want to repeat.

Light rain 43f

I hope it does for you. I admire your ability to move to snowier spots and you have a family and major responsibility. If anyone "deserves" a monster snowstorm it's you. Not to mention the excellent interpretation of weather models and likewise posts.

Yup. I used to get so upset but I went back to the Kocin/Ucellini ❄️❄️ book and over time the Eastern Mass thing happened a lot and so did the NNJ/NYC/LI jackpots. I learned that over the years the Springfield area was almost always a minimum. What made it harder the last 18 years was having all this access to reports and radar etc and really living it. You're in a much better spot than I am. I grew up in central CT. Even Ryan does much better than this part of the lower valley but can't compare to eastern areas. Now they occasionally suffer more severe temporary snow droughts but then they make up for it in spades. For whatever reason we don't get the old school Miller A storms much at all anymore or clipper type systems that bomb right off NJ and south of LI. Those storms could really wallop your area. These later capture Miller B types which have been the norm all too often get the goods going from ORH on east or southeast/northeast. After 18 winters I don't average 50 inches a season. 40 to 45. When I lived in Bristol CT the avg was about 55. You're a great poster. I know it sucks. Who knows maybe trends will reverse some for this one.

Well it feels like a funeral in here

His map makes a lot of sense Its realistic imo

That could still happen

Wow I think I blocked that one out

Yeah it's awful. It's amazing how being just a touch away from the valley makes such a difference. I grew up in Bristol CT and they do way better than here in Springfield. Well good luck, maybe we'll get lucky.

This could be the cruelest storm yet with regards to being downsloped shadowed and just a bit too warm but Congrats to everyone not in the lower CTRV!

Agree 100 percent, it's just so warm for snow..... I don't see low dews advection before either I just really hope there isn't any tree damage or power issues. The wind threat on this makes me nervous

Light rain 34F

Light rain and some slushy splats 34F

Lolol I should save this for posterity...what a riot! Nice eye candy nonetheless but it's not weatherly possible
