Cold Miser

Thanks for always keeping good records (with pretty maps )

Interesting. Why is Cory not seeing this depth on his grand tour? He is claiming so much less at the spots in Providence that he measured. Since he is so invested in this is there some way for him to contact the person who measured the 31 and go to that spot and see for himself? He needs this ultimate proof to set his mind at ease.

Well, You have to hand it to @TheSnowman, he talked the talk and walked the walk and did his post blizzard tour. It is interesting that not one 30" measurement, or even 24" measurement is seen, 12 and 24 hours later. No one thinks there's some crazy conspiracy theory, but measuring through old crusty snow or in drifts may have happened at some of the locations. Side note, It must be nice to have that kind of time to take those snow measuring tours. He's lucky this storm didn't happen on Grammy Award weekend.

@The 4 Seasons 1.75" today @ the lake. 61.25" for the season.

Some photos from last night. Adirondack chairs, still uncomfortable, and useless. Note the deck and the lack of snow. Wind just came off the lake and probably blew it all to Providence.

Who was it that drove around the cape a bunch of years ago to "debunk" the high totals? I think they were totals from Phil, and maybe it was Messenger(RIP) who took the ride. He pretty much just drove along route 6 and got out of the car every few miles and took a spot measure off the shoulder.

@Damage In Tolland approves of the power damage.

How does that happen, especially for such a significant event?

@The 4 Seasons going with 21" for my spot at Lava Lake (59.5" for the season so far, and above climo). Best I could do, combining what I saw at 8am combined with some of the totals I see noted in the public info statement. Oh, and that 36mph high wind recorded at Danielson Airport (which is less than 5 miles away)... there's no way that I didn't get gusts off the lake of at least 45-50mph.

Well if you go to the NWS point and click snowfall map there's a 3" reading from Pomfret this morning at around 10:30. And there's a reading of 12" just to the left. These are about 5 miles from me.

hopefully they know how to take proper measurements in wind, becuase I don't. I had spots that didnt have any more than an inch from the beginning of the storm through its end. Tops of our cars had almost no snow on them for the entire storm. No idea how you measure and account for that kind of stuff. I fear that some of those readings tomorrow will say 8 or 10 inches, which is probably not a good representation of what really happened.

I don't really know what my total was. At about 8am it was 13 or so inches, but the snow and wind continued, with the wind being relentless. I tried measuring later but it did no good since most of the snow kept blowing and piling up where the wind blew it. I keep looking for updated public info statements but they all seem to be from this morning.

Nah. Not really. But thanks for your concern. Waste and corruption compared to a guy whinning about snow is just as llaughable.

Are you putting snowstorm whinning in the same category as the Brown Shooting and the Pawtucket hockey shooting? Yikes.

Hammer has been full throttle since the storm started last night here at Lava Lake since. Been out already to clear the driveway once. I have no idea how much has fallen since the wind of the lake has been relentless, If I could post a video I would. Maybe i will do it through Youtube later.

@The 4 Seasons I’ll say 1” here at the lake before the change over.

Just get me to May. Get me out of the next 10 weeks of misery.

He’s banking on early Spring and endless dry .

Should be pretty easy. Been that way for like the last 4 seasons.

With the longevity of snow on the ground this season it’s hard to believe that I will be shy of climo by 10-12 inches. (Unless something big breaks one last time which is doubtful)

Yes. Definitely a crunchy dusting.

Manchester barely had a dusting. That surprised me when I got to work. I thought for sure there would be more here.

Send it out to the fish. They need the rain. It helps them grow.

@The 4 Seasons 1.5" new, 37.5 on the season so far.
