I don't remember what he got friday but I would have figured he was ahead of average. Either way RT 2 corridor has some catching up to do, especially the further west you go.
You are probably well below normal for this time of year, I would guess populated parts of CT and MA are ahead of their "average snowfall" to date so you will get no sympathy here.
It's just been the pattern the past few years but if you drew an obtuse triangle, with it's points being Pittsfield, Albany and Keene we have been screwed in every direction.
I’m getting ready to resign myself to accepting that Western New England is not getting much snow anytime soon.
Give me SWFE’s pattern because at least I know how that will play out.
He means salt needs to be in contact with water, which it generally is when in contact with ice. Obviously in very cold dry conditions it is much less effective.
Similar here, but this morning when it was in the low 20s it was raining pretty hard so that’s probably why no ice in the trees or powerlines. Big drops have more heat. If you really want ice buildup you want a nice heavy mist falling with temps in the upper 20’s.
Uhg. Highly inflamed sore throats are the worst! It's thankfully been a while for me but when it happens I do lots of saline gargles and tea with raw honey or even a hot toddy. Also, sterilize your toothbrush after every use.

It’s coming down hard enough that it’s sticking to surfaces but not so much to the trees branches or wires etc. The roads are going to be a mess for a little while.
I'm also amazed how many times over the years I have rotted for hours at 33F. You know, systems that start in the low to mid-20's as all frozen and then the temperature climbs to just above freezing and stops climbing right there. Maddening.
