 Awesome.  So you get a SNINCR 1 for anything over 0.5"?  For some reason I thought you had to get to 1" or more to get that.  And 2" or more to get the 2, etc.  I just saw the depth go from 6 to 7 and then 7 to 8.

It's 0.5" or more and the depth has to increase by a whole inch. So like if you got 0.6 and your depth went from 6.7 to 7.3 then  you wouldn't report it.

BDL has to have more than that, right?  They've had at least a couple hours reported of SNICR 1.

Nah, that's all we have here man, I'm putting those SNINCRs in lol. We had 0.5 and 0.6 the last two hours.

1.4" at BDL, 15:1 ratios last hour.

You’re not running anything that far north. I mean I suppose you could have a snow to ice deal but with everything else snow to the coast.. toss it until other stuff shows it. Nam does better with coastals qpf issues aside . This is just overrunning basically 

Yeah I agree with you Kevin. I think the blocking should tend to keep things south of CT track wise. Should be a good refresher to prime for a bigger event at the end of the week.

Looks like a solid 3-6” event for pretty much all of SNE 

Hopefully the 3k NAM is too far north. It has the hot hand though.

Coming down good at BDL now. 26/17.

27.6 here.  I Like Ginx area and for 6-7.  Probably 3" here and 4.5 on the Massif

Fighting quite a bit of dry air in the lowest 5,000 ft or so. Working at BDL as an observer right now...27/12. I think I may take the under on 3".

Agree 100%. Just to be clear, i said "in the cards"...def not my forecast or what im expecting atm. We're going in the right direction today and thats what matters right now.

I'm becoming a real fan of the GFS16 this winter (Dec 16-17, Feb 1-2) and looking back at the past 4 runs or so its had the least dramatic swings at the sfc and H5 from other models ive seen.

(Real quick plug, im working on updating the season-to-date snowfall map in CT, so this is for anyone who hasnt updated their new england snow page @Damage In Tolland @tavwtby @CT Valley Snowman @RUNNAWAYICEBERG @metagraphica @H2Otown_WX that would be very helpful to get it done. ty)

This season feels like 00-01..big boys only.

Now we just need a Mar 4-6 01 repeat

We still need a 2-5-01 repeat. This storm was more of a 12-30-00.

DO NOT CLEAR THE BOARD EVERY HOUR. YOU WILL INFLATE THE TOTALS THAT WAY.

lol is that a joke? i just meant taking measurements every hour, not clearing every hour.

Just making sure...lol

I noticed a grainy/sandy 1-2” top layer when I just shoveled. 

Yeah, I saw it too, like graupel I guess. How much there now? I think I finally have a theory as to why I don't do so well. I get shadowed by Wolcott.

Just now, The 4 Seasons said:

Def not that much i wasnt measuring every hour so not sure. Seymour has 16.0, Bethany 15.8, im at 15.4 as of 9pm.

Is it bad to not clear every hour? I thought that wasn't permitted. I've been clearing every 6.

A somewhat pedestrian 12.5 here. Snow growth got much worse in the last 2 hours. Had 4.3" in the first 4 hours since wiping the board at 3 pm but only 1.2" in the last two.

11.3"

You?

680'

Crap, that was my elevation in Watertown, only 470' about 680' at the top of my street though lol

Just now, RUNNAWAYICEBERG said:

Ha, thanks. Great vibe all day. Started a new job so I couldn’t quite enjoy it as I’d like but shades wide open every window. Once wife is done with work I’m going out. 

Congrats man! What's your elevation there?

9" down now. Didn't do quite as well as I would've thought the last two hours. That would have been crucial to having a shot at 18.

7" here, 2" in the last hour 15.

Only 0.9 since 9 am. Kind of disappointing. At 3.7 total now. Hoping the heavy stuff gets here in an hour or so.

4” on the nose. Deck dropping. Winds up. Intensity increasing. 

Southbury CT

Nice. Gonna check how much here in a few.

2.8" down as of 9 am. Ratios seem good so far...

Finished with 2.4" @The 4 Seasons

1.4" here, latest HRRR shows another half inch or so. It'll be interesting to see if that redevelopment happens.

Under one hundred days remaining in the period...under one hundred days.
