Quincy Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hand plotting over 100 reports to try to smooth things out and make a final map. Assuming these amounts (below) are accurate, the max zone was from Madison to Killingworth to East Haddam with 11", give or take. Two secondary maxes in northeastern Conn. 1. ~11" in Tolland and Coventry. 2. ~11" in the Pomfret/Brooklyn/Plainfield/Killingly area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisM Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 You probably posted somewhere, but maybe I missed it. What was your final total? 6 but it snowed a bit more after I went to bed..probably 6.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quincy Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 6 but it snowed a bit more after I went to bed..probably 6.5 Thanks! Kept having some bands kick through, but it was well after midnight. I know I crashed as soon as I got home, lol. Woke up before 6 a.m. in anticipation.

ctsnowstorm628 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 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". Haha, good stuff man. Enjoy the snowy clean up!

Baroclinic Zone Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Wind has been meh here today from my vantage point but TAN ASOS speaks otherwise. 15mph gusting to 25+. Sun did it's dirty work today. Roads are wet but otherwise snow free. Cars are clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmanmitch Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 7" for the total. This includes the upslope and the synoptic snow. We had about 3.5" from each. Total depth is around a foot, maybe slightly over. I'm glad I got that upslope, otherwise this storm would've left a bitter taste in my mouth.

eyewall Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 After a 14" dump on Thursday we received 8.5" new inches overnight into this morning in Williston, VT (east of BTV by a few miles). This was due to convergence, lake enhancement, and low Froude numbers in the wake of the coastal bomb. BTV definitely under forecast the event by quitea bit. We lost 2" of depth prior to this event so the depth maxed out at 20.5"! This has been one hell of a visit!

mattmfm Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Here's a shot out the backyard. Birches are bent over. Looks like you did well, considering the rain. Ended up with 10" on the nose at home. Great double digit overperformer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 It's like the weather Gods said , this is your week, flooding rains, coastal flooding, high winds, front end dumper, 3 per hour snow, powder bomb, drifting snow. Fetishes satiated. Congrat's dude... always nice when things line up nicely for a great week of weather. No complaints up here this week, either, lol.

Those flakes are the definition of great snow growth. I love the meso-scale snow up here because we often see snow growth that is incredibly difficult to achieve in synoptic storms. J.Spin recorded 1.9" on 0.02" of liquid...and took 3 cores to confirm. That's nuts. That's almost 100:1 ratios. It is hard to comprehend just how fluffy the meso-scale snow can be up here. Glad you got to document it and enjoy it! Now you know why we get so excited when the models print out trace amounts of QPF on the maps. We'll be in the lightest QPF shading and end up getting 0.07" of QPF with 4" of snow, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainePhotog Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 7.5" storm total snow. Quite the storm! I had a period of time where I was getting 2" an hour rates. Looking forward to the deep cold to keep the snowpack. From the side yard at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Snowed off and on today on the summit, mostly light. Cold, cold, cold. Temps in the teens and winds gusting 25-30+ made for tough skiing for the kiddos. Plus it blows the powderfreak fluff all over the place. 2-3" back home, storm met expectations on accumulations at my house but had way more QPF. Models did okay, they were showing warmth although it may have been overdone. Was the Euro yet again too cold? Anyway, good times, snowcover from tip to tip in New England.

ice1972 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 It's not often I get to go out and weenie out to my hearts content....kids or work or whatever.....timing was exceptional with this one and sipping Baileys and shoveling snow was just what I needed.....after taking several final measurements my total IMBY is 6.8".....maybe I can get another couple tenths with that last little band rolling through......pack is nice now at about 10"..... Praying that we can continue to add to this without any substantial loss of pack....ala Jan 2011...man would that be nice...night folks Picked up another 0.2" overnight so I'm at an even 7.0".......great storm and my piles off to a good start....hopefully we can add to it in a timely fashion.....dreamin of a 30" snowpack ala Jan 2011.....that pack was pretty epic.....almost up to my deck rails.....

Quincy Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Here's the snowfall total map I came up with for Connecticut. I didn't do a color for 12"+, because there's some question as to the validity of those. Instead, I included a dashed contour for 'localized 12"+'. Link with 151 reports referenced.
