I absolutely loathe multiple inches of new snow on the driveway after I’ve already snowblowed. 29.9° That sucks. I got lucky, it was warm enough here that it melted on contact after that really heavy burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 1" additional in the last of that rotting band, So we finish with 15" total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sankaty Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Ended up with 14" here. Skied 30+ inches at Mount Snow today. That did not suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 The bonus round is ongoing here this evening. 5.2" depth with about 6.5" for the storm so far. A couple of more shots from earlier today: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing worse than dirt driveways with ice. Your gas guy with the truck stuck also happenned to me, after that winter 03? I had it asphalted.

The 4 Seasons Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Took a good chunk of the day to get this done but here it is. Tried to include every report from the PNS statements and here. Final fx map for verification. No matter what ranges i chose it would have had holes in the fill contours, the spread was very high. Kept the numbers similar to what i used for the forecast for verification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Nice man. Maybe make the two large colors brighter/different next winter so it’s easier to see. Nice forecast map, always enjoy your work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like if you had some the totals were higher. Actually those are probably real, there was some definite help with topography this time around. I was still at 0 while some high elevation hill towns were already at 5-8". Wolcott is known for scoring big in elevation events or events where elevation at least helps to a certain degree.

This event seem to favor elevation, So yeah, Should be legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Here are two cool things on dual pol from the storm. The first one is the enhanced KDP in NW CT that sat and rotted in that super band. Up in the snow growth zone that deformation zone was going nuts. Specific Differential Phase (or KDP) shows enhanced values between 1 and 2deg/km. Basically as the horizontal and vertical radar beams are hitting the deform band the horizontal beam is "slowing" down because of the huge number of crystals its running into. In the DGZ we know dendrites can grow very efficiently and in great numbers. The second thing is depolarization streaks that kept showing up on - especially BOX and DIX during the storm. As the electric field in the clouds grow the ice crystals get oriented with the field and radar beams begin to lose their orthogonal polarity so you wind up with these downradial artifacts.
