I was ten years old and I lived in central Connecticut. I remember getting out of school to a lead grey overcast....no dim sun that Friday afternoon. Before I went to bed Hilton was on the news up in the helicopter saying there would be two to four inches of snow as we would be getting a glancing blow. My mom had called earlier from Port Chester NY telling of more than six inches of snow already and it just looked like thick fog outside. I woke up early at six am Saturday morning and it was winding down but we were buried. Both my Dad and Grandpa said a good two feet. Charlie Bagley was on the radio saying the area received 18 to 24 inches of snow. For days he was in the same camp as Hilton so he quickly went on to talk about how quickly it would be ending lol. The day turned out beautiful with bright sunshine and milder temps up to around 32 in the afternoon. The piles were insane. I wish I had been a little older because I would've stayed up and watched it all night. .

4 Saturday and 2.3 Sunday/early Monday....6.3 for weekend event Very nice

I bet that's a sight out there! Congrats man!

Nice currier and ives past couple hours. At least an inch new. Cleaned up Saturdays stuff which got a little messy looking yesterday in the afternoon

Yikes!!! On Pt 1....Fog. Haze and snow flurries with putrid growth. Can't even call it a dusting with a good conscience. Thank goodness for yesterday but was really looking forward to an inch or two of slowly accumulating mood snow during daylight hours.

I checked in this morning and it looked like a last minute hail Mary might be in the works region wide with much of the 6z suite but I guess that unraveled right on schedule later on. Glad today worked out here in death valley.

That's fairly ambitious.

Almost all the roads from one end of Springfield to the other were like that when I came home from Ludlow today.

Biggest event of the season so far....solid 4 inches ....couple bursts in part 2 meant business

Dim sun against the solid overcast but its a classic winter look and its so very welcome

I'm going to go with that. It felt like a bit more than an inch. I was surprised. Pretty uniform all across the area.

How's all your snow been this week? Seemed on the mild side but we know anything is possible at 1k in Tolland CT

The point and click seemed kind of tame with modest rain and snow chances and Southerly winds so I figured there wasn't much going on.

Well whoever was in charge of the January thaw this weekend should be on probation because it didn't get nicer out even down here in the tropics until a few hours ago.

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!
