No one was polluting anything, this was a historic storm for many folks and soul crushingly poor for more than a few others.

but the cape will periodically see epic events, the cape will see single storm rates and depths those in the valley only dream of.....i feel a smidge bad for the capers today though missing big snows and loosing power....must suck

exactly, we do it was a horrible bust valley wide and if it makes some weenie feel better to say we had 6 inches when there is 3 otg to cheat his/her way to the very low end of a forecast well then he/she can have at it

I really don't care how either of you spin it...the forecast was horrible and the snow worse...its mid march in the valley and it flurries/scattered snow showers all day on warm ground etc etc I cleared once...have 4 total and 3.2 otg and it feels cheap reporting 4 it is still half or less of what was forecast for the entire valley

it didn't snow more than flurries most of the day

nice light snow 3.5

I can't believe you have 5, I have 3...perhaps 3.5 if i cleared a board etc...and downtown is even worse at 2....this is what I mean you are in a better spot than I am as you get more snow by 1-3 inches 9/10 times when ineedsnow was out in agawam some storms he had 3-6 more than what I had, maybe even a bit more in the real big ones

i would say its even a little worse than that but this is an excellent post, however we are supposed to average 50"/season and maybe you do in Enfield but a few miles to the north here I think its only 45 or so we loose important qpf in the beginning of every storm while snow has begun north south east and west of here for reasons I don't fully understand, even with swfe and then we are downsloped or miss bands....too far n/nw for most ene specials etc but then often not far enough n/nw for more tucked events when I first moved up here I couldn't figure out why TV mets were so conservative, I quickly understood after a season or 2

f minus

welcome to my world

finally some bigger flakes but still just light snow...3 new maybe if it snows like this into tonight we hit the low ranges of our forecast

doesn't even want to really cross the river lol

flurries....perhaps 3 new....the band looks like its 2 miles away now even if that band does not represent heavy snow it has to be more than flurries

talk about the haves and have nots

no its been a few miles away for hours

yup...we could walk to where the heavy snow is its out in your old stomping grounds Agawam

3 miles away now lol

as far as these things go today may be the cruelest of all for two hours that band has been about 5 miles away 2 inches or so and scattered flurries past hour and the band may somehow just skip over us as it redevelops east?? just when you think it can't get any worse....

the snow capital of the world

the storm is so far offshore....1.5 new snow growth not the worst but lame rates

maybe an inch here

dude in nyc forum says everything pushed east and no big totals even esne?

beyond meh so far

Tip brought up an awesome memory the other day from the 1986 mid November bowling ball I was in middle school and just did not believe the forecast, the two years prior it had a remarkably hard time snowing a few inches in the dead of winter woke up to thunder lightning and moderate to heavy snow around 2 am...wound up with 4 to 6 inches of paste in central ct, but back then I don't remember hearing about eastern zones getting crushed....figures lol but where I lived at the time that winter actually turned out okay, especially considering winters before and after that decade....we had 50 inches that winter

where were you for that one and how much?
