I used to have that kind of passion for big snowstorms. Life and surroundings eventually beat it out of me . The best thing about this one is that everyone should get in on the good stuff. I don't know how old you are but you still seem kind of young. The area you live in gets a decent # of chances historically. It could be worse young fellá, you could live outside of Brattleboro VT or in Springfield MA where I am. .t5_

I know its OT but I remember that day in July 1989 so well. I walked to worked that day in the early afternoon. The partly sunny sky had a strange look and there was constant low rolling thunder to the north and west. It was warm and humid but there was a nice Southerly breeze. I remember lots of thunder storms later that afternoon. Then when I got home it was all over the news about Bantam and Hamden and parts of New Haven. It sounded like they were all rain wrapped. The damage footage was pretty impressive for SNE.

I lived in Northampton Mass at the time and we had a solid foot. The overrunning snows had temps in the single digits but the snow growth was good and it was solid inch/hr from mid afternoon through mid evening 6-7 inches. It then lightened up but we got a couple more inches over the next several hours and then around 3 am the shield was really organizing but also moving SE and a nice heavy burst came through for about 45(3 inches!!) minutes before quickly tapering to flurries leaving a foot of powdery snow otg Then I watched in awe and wild jealousy as the eastern zones just got destroyed through mid morning while we had clear cobalt blue skies and bright sun.

1.6 on Thursday brings me to 19.4 inches for the season. Not bad on snow and pretty darn chilly at times with frequent freshening breezes. Looks as though we have around a general 3 inches on the ground before Sundays event begins

Some sleet will help keep the pack more solid and and less likely to blow around on the coast...no ones loosing whatever they get for awhile.

Good. Clippers are good. You usually do pretty well with your predictions on them.

4 and Windy I'll take that calm wind fake cold any day!

And its going nowhere next week....what a period to build big depth. This can be the big one.Just give us a few two to fours over the next week or so after

That's some of the most uniform qpf output I think I have ever seen over a huge area

I wasn't thinking quite as lofty as 20, moreso just widespread ten plus back to back but .....these big numbers being thrown out with the overrunning on steroids for later in the weekend seem slightly ambitious even with an inch of qpf widespread. I am old enough to have seen plenty of 10 to 1 snow in frigid temps. Remember the end of the party in 2/11 everyone except you Scott and a couple others reigning in the numbers with that overrunning event....Some places in central New England and northern Southern New England were forecasting up to 20 inches!!

If leftovers are a foot, after it destroys the south that's still pretty amazing. Sign me up!

Well isn't that thing a real storm and this is just epic overrunning? I know there is to be a secondary reflection for eastern areas but the atmosphere is kind of primed for more good snow by then anyway

That's still a lot of snow and if its arctic sand it will be denser and have better staying power afterwards.

Be nice to get both regionwide

I'm going to put this here although it could easily go in this weekends storm thread 60-72 hrs lead issuing WSW region wide???? For a decent duration six inch plus event?? Maybe for the folks mid Atlantic and into the TN valley and OHIO valley and south....esp in regards to icing Still 2 full days for changes..it does sound miserably cold regardless Have we not learned anything from early March 2001?

At least 1.5 last night but it may have been closer to 2. That was a cute little event. Took a beating down here in the tropics this afternoon as we soared into the lower 40s.

With weekend event and one little event up to 17.8 for the season not counting tonight.

Nice steady light snow This afternoon at 230 pm the car thermometer read 11 degrees and there was a respectable Southerly wind blowing making it feel much colder Lowest I saw in my travels was 1 degree early this morning out in Wilbraham. What a frigid mid winter day!

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.
