Snowfall totals & verification for yesterday's blizzard. 

 

My 19.5 was right near that 21.1. I should have given you that number.

Its here and on TWC https://www.weather.gov/source/crh/snowmap.html?sid=box

19.5 total for me (including the final burst last night) but I do think me and you shorted ourselves by an inch or 2.

I measured 19" @ 5pm.  My first and only measurement of the day.  No board clearing.

Harv guessed on twitter that I was counting preexisting snow...man, this is real...sucks.

lol.  He actually said that in a live statement, pointing you out?

13.5" Brooklyn. Not my measurement but measurement from my daughter.  I have taught her not to be a slant sticker but she could be off.

Edit: 13.75

Pretty bad, our power was flickering earlier, we have had some good rates since I last guessed at snowfall amounts, I will officially measure at 12pm today

Good news for the CT sucker hole peeps...it's closing up. New big band setting up in metrowest

 

 

Wow. First I've seen a radar image today. Looks like Brooklyn was getting pounded.  But here in Manchester, just near Hartford I can definitely see how we were in that area of weakness.

I'm sure it is

Just a real fine snow here.  Visibility is not the best, but the snow is just not amounting to much.

Really not much here at work (Manchester). Maybe an inch or 2 if that.  Hopefully it's piling up better back in Brooklyn.  I have not checked with my source there yet.

Snow growth not too great here at work in Manchester, but was pretty good in Brooklyn, 40 miles east.  Definitely a different scene back home.

I was under the impression this was going to be a dry snow.  Sh*t is wet and heavy. 

34F right now.

Ryan rightfully going conservative in our state.  Those 10"-16" numbers for my area by NWS were funny. Ryan is back to reality with a 6"-9" spot over Windham County. 

From his FB post earlier:
"We've been keeping things conservative as the center of this storm is going to track awfully far offshore."

Putting the sanity back into forecasting.  

lol - NWS is calling for 10-16 for my area via the good ole' point and click disaster.

I don't think it will be above 10, but if so would be the biggest storm of the season here. 

If I wish this away is that a bad thing?  
You see...I made a bet last month that I would not make it to climo snow? and 6 or so inches would get me to that point.

No, he was saying you could see how bad the tree damage was from the Oct '87 storm during his April '88 trip. I'm sure it took a couple years for it not to be really noticeable. (though for a tree expert like tamarack, he can probably notice that stuff a decade later)

Idiot me.

lYeah. Full foliage, and tons of tree damage.  Roads were still being cleared 3 -4 weeks later.  I suppose it's pretty comparable to the damage in CT a few years back during the October storm.

We took a trip south in April 1988 to visit family in VA, and the tree damage along I-84 at the higher elevations of Duchess County was catastrophic.  IMO, it was worse, though less widespread, than the breakage along I-84/90 in CT/MA from the 2011 Octobomb (which also presaged a crummy winter for snow.)

I don't recall the event in April 88.

October 4, 1987

Not SNE, but a great event from 30 years ago today when I lived south of Albany, next to I-90 just over the border from Mass. in Old Chatham, NY.  Cars were stranded and I was going back and forth up the hill with gas for people.  One of my all time favorite events as it occurred less than 2 weeks after summer ended and we ended up having no school for the entire week (storm was Saturday into Sunday).  Although, that winter was fairly crappy after that, and since then never wanted to see another October snow storm, thinking that it meant there would be minimal snow for the remainder of the year.

Would prefer big heat.  Who needs the chamber?

No way. I like the 70's look.

Are you writing your name in the pollen all over the furniture?

He's probably still writing his name in the snow up there.

Nailed it. Was a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon with temps in low 60's

Yeah valley west. 

We had a break of sun for a bit at about 4:00pm Sunday, but other than that it was basically misery for the rest of the day (kind of like today).

...But, Kev had a good medium range call the other day with regard to Saturday not being a total wash out. Was cloudy, but definitely not a bad day overall.

May...The new April.

Just spins for days as it rots to our south and southeast.

 

That's not far from some decent flakeage on Monday morning even over SNE interior...prob won't play out like that, but that is a really deep ULL.

Should there be preparations for power outages next week in SNE with snow on leaves?

I'm glad I came in here to see this.  The timing is perfect for me to use a bit of a laugh after watching this health care debacle unfold.

Thanks.
