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.

Wow only a few miles south of me you have 11!!! Good for you man

Yes....news swears its slightly over 50 at cef but I have kept records the 21 years I have lived here and I don't average 50 across those years with all the "big" winters in the 2010s. I am 3 mi from CT border. Most I measured was 71 inches 10-11, worst was kind of tied for a bunch in the very low 20s. 21 year average 43 inches, I keep thinking were due for a couple good storms or seasons to get us back towards 50.

Looks pretty far SE to me.

I've been through this so many times my friend. I too thought it wouldn't be this bad but also didn't think the storm was going to go that far SE. I'm wondering if this is even a shadowing issue as opposed to the goods just not getting up here. I also thought Hartford area would have done better. You know what Ryan has in Weho?

I always thought the fog/freezing fog was posted for aviation purposes.

I think its interesting to note overall just how stubborn the Euro was to come NW all week. I feel like that was a flag for Western areas the whole time.

I guess we really never were in it . I just hoped really hard.

That's the real deal. Looking at the Post office and can barely see the sea wall. 1/16 mi or less, incredible snow growth. This will be historic for them.

Ten am lol...two hours and it hasn't started yet Probably just a stat padder. Hopefully we get a little more after this one and we will at least make average for the year.
