snowman21 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 just measured 3 exactly over one hour after the snow stopped and 34 degrees, so may have been a bit more. EXACTLY 30 for the year. First time ever with exactly 30 for the year and exactly average. How can I post a picture? This is for Easton CT.I would think you average a little more than 30. Even the Stamford co-op site averages 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Wow....finally a full-on ratter for you. You had quite a stretch throughout my first 9 years on the board. Was Dendrite running a huge positive snow departure up until now? It seems like since 2007-2008 nothing has been spectacular except maybe 2010-2011 for CNE/NNE.The last 3 of 4 winters have been almost entirely SNE positive departures.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 As a sad testament to this season, I am at least excited by this last little band simce it has the best flakes I've seen since last winter. Maybe finish with 1" total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkO Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 yeah, good ratio snow. 6" of fluff, did an unofficial core and came up with 0.41", so about 15:1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 decent burst came through central rt 2 region ... ended up with 4 1/2 or 5" of powder. interesting ... the roads were never worst than wet the whole way to work. 30 F, light to moderate steady snow ... just water. Checking out satellite, sharp and abrupt clearing extends N-S over western VT/MA and NYC. It's pressing E and will probably accelerate as the low finally clears our latitude. I'm wondering if we end up with a sunny-ish mid afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 It was really hard to be stuck on long term yesterday. I tried to add my opinions where I could, but there's only so much of the 8 day forecast I can micromanage. It's weird, sometimes you spend two or three days forecasting a system and because of the quirks of our rotation I lose responsibility of the storm for a day (and of course that's when headlines go up).

Not that anyone asked ... but it appears to me the old 1.5 to 3 Deg left of v-max track pretty much nailed the cold side QPF in this. We've been hyper focused all weak on where the models have been bull's eyeing the low, when in the end ... these bands of frontogen looking snows seemed to be less involved with cyclogenesis altogether and more along the lines of mid level forcing, period. you know ... in a way, this was kinda ANA looking to some dgree - though I'm sure that wouldn't hold up to reananlysis - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#NoPoles Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 i busted way low...2 inches on the patio furniture and porch railing...slushy coating on the pavement... yesterday TWC had me with 5-8 over night, and then 3-5 today for a total of at least 8 with lollis to a foot...BUST!

So instead of a good CCB and isentropic lift...you get the banded nature of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaineJayhawk Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 GYX did not have school but Raymond did. Was behind a bus coming down the steep hill by my house and it was sliding all over. Really surprised they didn't cancel, but at 4am, my wife was leaving for logan and it hadn't started snowing yet so roads were clear. Not sure how late they can cancel school (5am?), but I'm sure they're regretting it now. Windham also had school. I got a kick out of looking at the poor kids huddled at the street corners waiting for buses while heavy snow fell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapturedNature Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Hopefully this fits Herbs criteria lol...I don't care what you call it. You're the one who has to live with it. I just try and be as precise as I can and err on the side of caution. If I stick a ruler in the snow and it's level at 5.9" but one little arm of a snowflake is sticking up and barely reaches 6.0", I don't call it 6.0". It's 5.9. Like I said, I don't care. I was just making a comment about my own observation more than anything. It's a nice little snowfall. Great to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a kick out of looking at the poor kids huddled at the street corners waiting for buses while heavy snow fell you're so sneaky evil for being a parent man, school gets canceled every time someone farts a snowflake...back in the day when i had to walk to school, up hill both ways, they hardly ever canceled school the night before, i remember waking up and listening for the firestation whistle and watching the news hoping to hear them read my school as they went down the list alphabetically, or listening to wbz am radio waiting to hear them read the list of canceled schools...i feel we are turning into a bunch of pansies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
