TalcottWx Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I've got about 6" of snow on the back deck. Obviously much less on the streets and sidewalks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Visiting in Pittsfield, MA today, about 1" here, almost enough to cover the grass. Heading out to BDL soon for flight to FLL this evening, glad to get a taste of winter. Jeez, Berkshires screwed again. Happy I was on the right side of decent this storm. Could have easily been a shutout here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 At 9:45 this morning it was almost a whiteout in Waterbury. I took a pic from the truck, but the file's too big to upload until I get home later. There was about 3-4 inches on the ground at that time.

DavisStraight Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Some power outages here, a pole came down at the bottom of the hill near my house, they're out there now putting in a new one. The wind picked up and with the snow coming down fairly hard and the snow blowing off the trees I was 50 feet from my street and I couldn't see 10 feet in front of me, I had to wait until the gust calmed down to see. The roads are horrendous, haven't remeasured but at least 10 out there now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Semper911 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Was outside for the majority of the morning. One observation was all the branches which came down was in a one hour period. As the dew point fell the water seemed to be getting sucked out of the snowpack on the trees and drying out the snow. Haven't heard many shotgun blasts lately. A good size branch about 11 foot long grazed my truck but the snow saved me from any scratches dents I have the same experience here. My property is lined with White Pines and every one of them has many snapped limbs. I have been out cutting and dragging limbs for hours and there is still more to do. Just came in for a lunch break. The roof rake is handy for loosening up the pack on the stressed limbs. The sound of the snapping is intense when you are standing under the tree.

wxsniss Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Yeah I think a death band is forming from eastern Long Island up through eastern MA. 16z HRRR swings the parting good stuff for southeast MA up into Boston area between 2-3pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR Airglow Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Something in the 4" range here sounds about right, didn't get a very good measurement to be more specific. Still coming down quite nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 So.. I have sleet mixing in here. Very bizarre. Audibly bouncing off my window. Not a lot of it, mostly snow. Probably riming of flakes. It's not sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoth Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 So.. I have sleet mixing in here. Very bizarre. Audibly bouncing off my window. Not a lot of it, mostly snow. And rain too...In fact, barely snowing at all now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalcottWx Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Probably riming of flakes. It's not sleet. That's what I figured but they are solid little pieces of ice. Can they be deformed that extensively by riming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSnowman Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I just imagine Corey's neighbors watching in perplexity as he runs around his yard beating his trees with a stick and shaking his fist at the vengeful heavens. Jerry - It's a 2nd. I am more impressed by October 2011 than Any Snowstorm in my life outside of April Fool's Day, though sometimes I think it was even More impressive. But yes - I HATED every flake in that Storm. My #1 Objective in life is about Trees and the Environment. Snow has to come underneath. Yes - I Literally just ran around other people's yards helping their trees. Note that Harvey, Searles, WPRI and others are retweeting my call to the world to do the same. It's Vital. Go help the Evergreens! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 That's what I figured but they are solid little pieces of ice. Can they be deformed that extensively by riming? Yes. If they go through a layer that is very moist in that 0 to -6C or so...it can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
