  1. Technically in Hartford county but I'm within a few hundred feet of the Litchfield City line. These are the highest buildings lots in Hartford City. Stay well and get those chairs out!
  2. Lol... I assumed everyone would know I was talking about the chairs but as soon as I hit submit I thought there would be a couple of replies about the Adirondacks looking less impressive... Lol... That view is east of the Berks closer to Mtn. Tom area...
  3. The Adirondacks have made an appearance!!! 64 wonderful degrees at 1,140 ft in Burlington, CT!
  4. Haven't seen anything that high. I'm at 1,140' with a max gust of 52 mph so far...
  5. Another dead tree storm!
  6. It's easy to be onboard when you never get off the train from Oct through April...
  7. Burlington CT... March 2018... Note height of snow on fence around our baseball field!
  8. Not sure how far south core of the strongest winds will build? Northern CT / MA border air could be the southern limit, but it's a fluid setup and could come further south. NY site I referenced had 4 gusts; 55, 62, 66 and 72!!!
  9. Agree... With our data checking that's my general memory as well. The thing that seems to stand out more than anything right now to me, is the relative crappy nature of Aprils these days...
  10. The 700 fronto analysis on the SPC meso-page was a thing of beauty. That was locked in early enough to jump all over the big central CT numbers. Best CT banding in at least 2 years.
  11. What an idiot he is... Sometimes we go and picnic in the deep woods of West Hartford where 15+ inches are on the ground... Lol
  12. 11" here in Burlington... A non elevation event; all about where the best banding setup. So great to see a positive bust; especially after the horrific trends yesterday...
  13. I'm actually in favor of being able to do that... Or at least change to a delay? They all use email or text blast anyway...
  14. That's exactly the main reason. That's ok as long as everyone understands there are going to be the occasional bust...
  15. Your right. It usually only happened when a storm was underway during the afternoon or evening. It is now the norm...
  16. These early calls are the function of parents demanding earlier and earlier decisions going back about 5 to 10 years ago... I've been apart of this trend for years and it was only a matter of time before it happened. Nobody wanted to wait until daybreak even though there were red flags this afternoon. I'm surprised a situation like this hasn't occurred sooner. But I am a bit shocked by how ugly this snow trend has gotten. I never understood the need to cancel the afternoon or evening before, but parents are adamant... I think districts should be able to alert folks to the ongoing trend and reasses in the morning. They all use the same alerting system... And it is still early enough in the evening...
