  1. I think it's AWOS. But I've typically found it fairly reasonable and DP is showing DP as pretty well mixed (66F).
  2. Even Chester CT managed to pull a 100...impressive.
  3. The exception perhaps being those of near the shoreline, where we get that moisture advecting in off the water later in July and August. My PWS is no stranger to 80 dews in July & Aug...but a bit more rare for June.
  4. still better than the past 2 years here. I have more snow this year than the past 2 years combined.
  5. 1.8” here in Clinton too…no delay for the kiddos though
  6. just over 1/2" here...now above freezing. lame. not really a surprise, mesos weren't really trending in our favor yesterday evening.
  7. I object to being considered SE CT. Let’s reserve that for New London County. Shoreline jackpot works though.
  8. Didn’t expect that to become my biggest event in nearly 2 years. 3.2” was the total here.
  9. Hell not just this year. There's a large swath along the Gulf Coast and the SE states that will have eclipsed my seasonal totals from each of the past two winters too. Happy for the weenies down there...but this shit is getting old man.
  10. Just shy of 1.5” here. My drought of 4”+ snowfalls lives on, but no real surprise there. 1/29 will be 3 years since my last snowfall of 4” or more.
  11. 5" definitely wasn't my report. But now I vaguely remember seeing that and thinking to myself there's no f'in way. Either the trained spotter was measuring on grass without a board or the cutoff for that event really split the town. It's not like I'm right on the water either...I'm 3-4 miles inland and up a small hill...but sometimes I still feel like I'm it a bit of a relative hole, convinced trees sometimes mess with my measurements more than I think they should.
  12. I will literally take anything measurable at this point. Going on 3 years since I've had a snowfall of 4" or more (1/29/22 was the last for me). This has been the most miserable stretch I've seen in the 18 years I've been here. Monday's little surprise felt like a blizzard for those few hours.
  13. I really held out hope today would give us a little surprise on the north fringe. Managed 0.6-0.7"...pretty much ties for my biggest event of the season.
  14. It's tolerable on a weekday or in the evenings. Clinton is up to $75 on weekends for non-residents now I believe...and snack bar not operating this summer. If you don't have a lot of gear and don't mind a walk...you can go to Point Bluff State Park in Groton and it's about a mile or so walk to what's typically a nearly deserted stretch of beach.
  15. yeah I was surprised by that too. For many years I thought as long as you were west of the river along the shoreline things tended to work out pretty good in marginal situations. Last few years have been rough though, definitely have become a snow hole just like NL county. Watching the radar, seemed the best banding pushed just north of here after 7:30am or so...and we lost a couple critical hours. By the time we got back into some decent returns temp was up to 32.7 and it was all over. Crazy that literally a degree colder and it could've been a completely different story here it terms of totals. Seeing CC verify warning criteria also stings.
  16. I'm a few miles inland. But another mile or two NW could've been all it took to grab another couple inches. Maybe if someone was using a snowboard and cleared it mid-way...that could've helped too. But I never went above 3" on any surface I tried measuring on.
  17. Only 3" here near the shoreline. Torched BL really killed us. Not really terribly surprising...but still disappointing. Over 2 years (1/29/22) since last warning event and counting. At least this one put us over last year's pitiful season total.
  18. Measured 2.3" here this morning and got a quick walk in before the changeover. It's been freezing drizzle since 9am. Temp has crept up to 29.5F. Rumor is roads are quite slick, so no school was the right call. Expect to flirt with freezing before temps drop again later this afternoon.
  19. It's absolutely ridiculous. And the models seem to have no problem nailing it 5-days out. Yet if there's snow involved...models can't even get it right within 12 hours. We're a magnet for heavy rains but repel snows like we're the new Mid-Atlantic.
  20. I also came just to see if anyone had commented on the satellite presentation this morning. I don't recall ever being able to see multiple distinct stratus layers in visible imagery like that before.
  21. We were supposed to leave first thing in the morning tomorrow to go to PA to visit my son at college. Just called an audible about an hour ago and let my wife know we needed to leave tonight or risk driving thru flooding rains or canceling altogether, neither of which was going to be an acceptable option. So plan is to make it to her sister's in W NJ tonight to get us to the other side of this incoming firehose.
  22. I think it's just you. It's just the Euro Op totals. No crazy 6-12" totals...but a widespread 2-4" for most of the region.
  23. My anxiety is through the roof. Gonna be away for the weekend and don't want to come home to a wet basement. Even though we had french drains put in back in May, I'm still nervous about water finding it's way in through other small cracks in the foundation.
