I think .5 inch is when the trouble starts. Anything over an inch is massive damage. You’re throwing around big numbers there. 2.5 inches is complete and utter destruction and probably a 100 year or more event. 
 

Source? I've seen 45% in recent months, which means a significant number of people are still being impacted by a storm like this.

LOL it sounds like DE really hurt you bad, man.

We literally have no posters in far W MA
[mention=17164]GCWarrior[/mention]is the closest but he is barely in the E Slope.  After him I am the next furthest west.   I guess nobody lives out here.  

Wow, nice!  Hope to break 10" here.

Up to 10” now

The snow has been great here the last few hours and we’re going to go well over every forecast I saw for the Pioneer Valley...what happened that prevented the extreme shadowing that was showing up in every model and forecast?

So they are expecting that much more going forward from the map's time stamp?  I always just assumed those maps were storm totals.

I haven't been able to perceive snowfall intensity differences corresponding to the bands rotating through... not sure if that's good or bad... either way it's been steadily falling fluff for several hours.  We have 6" new since last night.

I think that’s the dying primary from the Midwest?   We didn’t get anything but CT and west and NYC did.

Can always do remote learning for sure.  The public has been trained.  Use technology on bad weather days.  Didn’t have that option or infrastructure in the past for sure.

One of the few perks of my job seems to have been permanently lost...

I’ve used the recipe from the link I posted. It takes a few minutes but it came out good every time I made it.

Oswego will usually only approach that total with lake effect!

Owego and Oswego are two different places

I could see snow day for elementary school kids....but high school? The only playing in snow that high school kids do is smoking dope and blowing donuts in empty parking lots. Maybe farting around on their old Indy if they're lucky enough to have one. 

 

1. Not true of everyone

2. You can’t give half the district a day off and make the other go to classes/work

It’s funny but the pandemic kind of eliminated snow days.  Everyone can do it from home for a day.

Can see snow up on Mt Tom in Easthampton but all rain with occasional flakes in the valley

Mulch some into the grass with the mower and compost the rest...bagging is a waste

Looks like slightly over 2” here in Easthampton

Rain about stopped but picked up .5

About .3” so far here in Easthampton and still raining steadily...I’ll take it 

He barfed all over my explorer after about 3 craft beers in Hartford. Ryan drank him under the table. 

This isn't Europe.  It's America.  We live differently & there's nothing wrong with that.  That's why they come here to see America, not a mirror copy of them.
Pickups are handy utilitarian vehicles with lots of room to haul things to and from stores for yard work, home projects, trash, helping neighbors, etc.  With crew cabs you also get a vehicle that has more room than a phone booth on wheels and a better view of the road.  There are not the best for urban areas but as someone mentioned, they are good for home owners and there aren't too many single family homes in cities.

I believe pickups are taxed tremendously high in the EU.  Also, most pickups won’t fit on their roads.
