Damage In Tolland 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. Nice map Q dog. A little OT but I never realized how big the town of Newtown was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekuasepinniW Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I'm the sledding master. I used to race people all the time when I was younger and win. Me too. Then, one day when I was probably 9-10 years old, I went over a jump I had piled up and got the wind knocked out of me. Not being able to breath for what felt like eternity deeply scarred me and I never touched a sled again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semper911 Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Yeah almost a foot of powder with bulletprrof concrete underneath.. Dude, I just wanted to tell you that your enthusiasm for snow is awesome, and you are so often right on the money while others are all meh looking at the models before a storm. You take a lot of crap around here, but you make this board a great place to be. I don't post much, but I am here for every storm, and it wouldn't be the same without you. Keep up the good calls, and Happy New Year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MainePhotog Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Looks great, John. Is that a picture of your house? I know exactly where that is--not far from the house I lived in when I was in Bath. I was at 26 Corliss. Thanks Mike! Actually, my house is behind me in the photo. That's the neighbors house. My place is beside the old church (now a residence) just before the Winnegance Bridge. Know Corliss well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginx snewx Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Yeah it looked like the Northern Plains around here today. Wish this stuff had been wet It was perfect, high piles on all limbs then wind blown madness this afternoon. It was like having another snowstorm for a while when the wind first picked up.

eyewall Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 That video is awesome. 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. LOL absolutely and that is incredible! It was absolute fluff and you are right about the snow growth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, I know where you are, that picture looked familair to me, used to have an office right off of Sutton Ave where the Dunkins Donuts parking lot is now.

Cold Miser Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I love all the snow total questioning that goes on after every storm. It never gets old Why would people even make up false snow depth totals? There's absolutely zero to gain by faking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Miser Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Unless you want to beat someone by a. 25 margin, slant sticking again lol lolz. I saw our totals and was kind of chuckling inside at that. Neck and neck we go. I suppose we are the two closest members on the forum. Makes it interesting, although I think most times you will beat me out by a few inches at the end of the season due to elevation when it matters most.

Will be different this year if I'm still in NY during the weekdays when snow falls. I have to trust my wife on here measuring abilities. I'm rather strict about my snow board. I (gently) snapped at her yesterday when she moved the marker I use to find the board in the snow. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryslot Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 That's because some have jackpot fetishes and it seems to happen more in places that don't avg a lot of snow in winter then places that do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
