I haven't felt this taxed and defeated in a long time. Just an all around shit feeling. Enjoy the snow...those that got it. I probably would take the day off and just walk around in the snow, should that day ever come this year. 

I know. We had a fair January here but nothing special and now we are in the heart of winter with barely any snow on the ground.
 Greenfield winter carnival is this weekend so I’m sure they will have to cancel most of the events.  I will say this, every year it’s the first weekend in February and more than half of them have not worked out, so maybe time to move it further into the month.

Stein February?

I’d prefer Stein April but yeah, looks boring.

That might be the first time a storm with that track totally effed me over. 

Same.

what happened to the days n days with this one?  Remember snower right through Monday/Tues AM?

I think there was also some talk of an arctic blast this week that seems to have moderated.

8.8” in New Ipswich, NH. 8.1 in Ashby

Elevation

Judging by the hilltops around here you needed at least 600’

Picked up 1” of sleet and snow overnight into this morning . Snowing lightly. Took like 45 minutes to clean off 4 cars. Caked and iced and wet snow 

I’m a little shocked you didn’t do better with your elevation when S Worcester Co at lower elevations is reporting 2-3”

You must have caught better banding, the Valley was pretty much a shutout.

Pretty much nothing here.

Ditto in Greenfield.  .25” of icy slush.

Kinda wild hearing the melting as the rates drop to light, and temps bump up a degree or two.

One of my least favorite winter sounds.  Hearing snow turning to water. 

The number of posts shows how well this is going for most of SNE.

Been back to some sort of mix...just continuing to waste precip. I mean when is the column going to finally cool enough?? Such a dumpster of an event. Gross.

This has looked rough for those under 800’ for days.  Trash antecedent air mass.

3.5” new. Hubb-town

 

You’ll be MA jackpot.  Maybe Savoy but I think your area got/gets the better qpf and lift. 

Terrible here.  Shredded radar and back to light rain.  Heavy coating only so far.

Very underwhelming here so far. Maybe an inch of stuff.  That lull lasted a while. Even now it is just big lazy aggregates. 

Just been some light mist here for about two hours now.

Radar to the west is a shredded mess so let’s see how this comes together later

I think there is going to be some epic meltdowns during February and March...

Oh yeah, by Valentine’s Day there will be posters kicking stray dogs and burning orphanages.

I try not to let it get to me. At some point in the next two weeks I’ll probably just throw in the towel and pray for a dry summer.

Just now, ORH_wxman said:

Yeah maybe a few tenths more if you’re not on a dark surface. It was about an inch on the walk but prob 1.2-1.4 on the deck. Honestly was better than I expected on the thump before it started this morning…once it flipped I was hoping to get past 2” but the heavy stuff didn’t last long enough. 

It was snowing pretty hard from Fitchburg to Athol and then tailed off as you got further West. I imagine Dave and Ineedwinter probably have 1”-2”?

Pure paste

 

1” ?

NEW HAVEN      CLOUDY    41  38  89 NE8G17    29.77F FOG

 

N Adams is a top 10 New England snow hole. 

Looks more wet than white at the base of Berkshire East.

Hey maybe we can write the whole month of February off by this afternoon, after the EPS comes out. 

Yeah, may as well just wrap this up and in another month or so  I can start tracking tick bites.

About an inch here

Definitely better in your area. I just took a drive up the hill with my kid to about 1000’ el in Colrain and pretty much just a coating even up high.   My friend in Marlboro Vermont says pretty much the same there.
