Cold Miser Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Dude, the driveway is perfect but couldn't take the 5 minutes to clean off the truck?! Lol lolz. Doing so would be a double positive - 1) truck is cleaned. 2) more snow for the peaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Better than Stowe? I'm honored you all think of my snowfall as the benchmark to compare to FYI... BTV is up to 10.6" at the NWS office from this storm. Still snowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quincy Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 To recap the totals I measured: 7.3" in New Haven. This was as of about 11:30 p.m. and there was still -SN/SN when I left. 6.8" in Naugatuck shortly after midnight. That was the actual depth, didn't take compaction into account.

CoastalWx Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Well I think that's normal actually One in November and an 11" in December? That's better than normal. You're ahead of the curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctsnowstorm628 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Meteorologist Gil Simmons sent me a picture at 8:15 p.m. of 11.4" down there. I was very skeptical, but it appears legitimate. I'm almost on the Clinton line at 200ft and got 9.5". And another met on here measured 8.5" haha. No biggie but they didn't get 12". Maybe 10".

Cold Miser Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hope the dude from Lowell area didn't get more than 5". I know he was concerned about such massive amounts of snow ruining his day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Nothing better on a late December morning than having an early morning blow - especially when the white stuff is deep, and easy to move. ... First use of the snowblower this season, with good amounts of light and fluffy, white good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Measured 4" this morning. Reality was probably a touch more just based on the size of snow plow piles and how weighted down the trees are an just walking around a bit. Good times. Weenies: That's just awesome, what a great picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 10". Who knows. I'm going back through reports and had a report from Clinton of 7.0" at 6:30 p.m. from one source. Another said "over a foot," but I don't take reports like that seriously. Off the record, I would lean towards your 10" remark. FWIW, here's the photo Gil sent to me at 8:15 p.m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 One in November and an 11" in December? That's better than normal. You're ahead of the curve. You two are mistaking "normal." He's talking about what he expects...you are talking about what climo says to expect Looks pretty sweet though now to have pretty much wall-to-wall snow cover (and a large area of 12" or greater) across all of New England...from NW to SE and SW to NE. Pretty rare to get this sort of widespread cover with some depth to it prior to New Years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Always Sunny Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I'm almost on the Clinton line at 200ft and got 9.5". And another met on here measured 8.5" haha. No biggie but they didn't get 12". Maybe 10". Foxboro 8"...we basically tied on that bet b/c you had 9" and I said 5-7 no more than 8. As for Dedham we got about 5", we probably had 7 total before the rain washed away the first 2". Nearby Needham got 8", Norwood got 7.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I will say this event has allowed by 3,000ft snow board to go over 100" cumulative on the season so far (101" as of 12pm), not counting October. Pretty much where it should be this time of year. Snow depth is 42 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Well it ended up respectable here. The cf was right overhead and we never really went to all rain for more than a few minutes. Spotter reported 5.5 in Brookline and that seems right. Just back from the woods with my beloved snow living dog. Magnificent winter day with decent and fresh snow clever plastered to the trees and bushes, gray sky, subfreezing.,,perfect! Will have pics when I fix the cloud hopefully later.

grinch1989 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 At least here in CT I plotted up the reasonable totals. Is that my total? Also...did you submit it to the NWS because I see Shelton with 6.3"?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluelena69 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I typically just lurk here as I am only a severe weather lover. Perhaps a refresher on the proper way to correctly measure snow would be good. Could anyone do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a refresher on the proper way to correctly measure snow would be good. Could anyone do this? Snow board in a clear area away from trees and wind if possible. Measure every six hours, clean in between, or once in 24 hours. Simple. Or take ten measurements in undrifted areas and average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
