About 2 inches so far.....sooo many puddles. I'm thinking with last Saturdays deluge we're good for awhile

about 3 inches of rain from those storms in my hood, driving back from Enfield was sketchy, I've not see that many flooded streets in years

Yup I had about the same. Torrential rain for at least an hour with lighter B4 and after. Tons of lightning and loud cracking thunder. A little pea size hail for good measure too. Lots of mud. At least three inches. Such a small area really hammered. Other parts of Springfield farther north and west very little.

The marginal nature, of the antecedent air mass we had to work with, is clear in the fact that I have not been below freezing for two days. 

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

ughhh I'm in a tiny sucker hole...it's like filling in all around me. It's like I'm getting an atmospheric swirly. 

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.

Banding signal is very impressive. This is what got to me to go ahead and look at the 12z RAP. I think this is setting up very well even for the Connecticut Valley. 

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

This is the most excited ive been for a storm in 10 years or so.. some of these model outputs are nuts..  could be a top 3 for me if everything breaks right 

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.

Can anybody else get in on the fun other than E Mass? God it was old 5 yrs ago, it’s downright ridiculous now. 

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

This fucking sucks. Did we club baby seals in a prior lifetime or something? The atmosphere just feels sadistic around here this year.

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.
