Kidding aside. Looks like a nice little burst down there. More fun than your rain and snow shower yesterday. 

Feels great seeing the ground whiten again.. closing in on a inch still light to mod.. wasn't expecting this at all

[ineedsnow]

No model had this..

NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Key Point

*Cold but less windy overnight. Wind chill values in the low 20s.

One last round of weak shortwave energy moves through the region
this evening before the stalled upper-level trough and cold pool
move well offshore. Not anticipating anything other than increased
cloud cover this afternoon and evening, as dry low-level air will
make it difficult for any rain to reach the ground. Clouds begin to
decrease tonight

Wow, you must’ve been in a pretty narrow band.  We got about three minutes of very light rain in Grittyfield and nothing since.

Starting off the season with a bunch of dense snow.

Interesting that while 25" is more than 69 other recorded winters, as one can see with the 45" on this date in 1990-1991 that it didn't mean much for the rest of the winter, ha.

I'll have to look up what happened around this time in 1990.  That must've been a monster event or couple of events to go from like near 0" to 45" of depth in a week or less.  Then to lose it almost as fast.  It's interesting that spike in snowpack is so far above anything else in the long recorded history.  70+ years of records and that one spike is like 50% higher than the next highest season.

Days like today make me miss summer, can’t wait for it to return. Wife due in May, so hopefully have the whole summer off to enjoy the baby and the weather

That is a crazy snow cycle... and wild melt afterwards.

But 43" on 4.9" of liquid is a big cycle.  Wow.  Honestly, it's probably about the current cycle ratios we've seen, 10:1 or under... but with twice the QPF.

[HoarfrostHubb]

Around a half inch here tonight.  Unexpected

Congrats man. Did I miss that you got remarried?

I may not have mentioned it. Been a tough year. We got married in a small thing in September. She was pregnant earlier this year but we unfortunately lost the baby at 22 weeks to a rare genetic disorder. Obviously kind of turned our whole lives upside down

Heartbreaking. Sorry to hear

Snow at Alex’s replaced by palm trees.

Speaking of palm trees, I took this nice little shot about a week ago during my visit to Wilmington. It was surreal seeing that and temps in the upper 70s after days of coolness and clouds in New England. I miss it already!

[powderfreak]

Regardless of the maps, the signal is there for the 1500ft+ elevations from Stowe to Jay to get appreciable snow following the messy/rain before that.  Also that same elevation at Bretton Woods in Alex’s zone looks just as good.

Moist W/NW flow behind the Saturday night system looks to be productive from Sunday PM to Tuesday AM.

Speaking of Palms. Bridgeport has the most northern east coast palm tree with this sabal palmetto that's been growing since 2009..

What's with the ice?  Had to yank the crap out of the car door to get it open.

That’s exciting!!!  Time to tap your optimistic side-your baby needs it!

Just saw this.  Devastating.  So glad to hear about the good news for May!

[Modfan2]

Down to 24F here in the valley in E CT, coldest of the season! We have had decent cold, but not much to show for it here other than rain.

Ugh, sorry to hear man. 

[Baroclinic Zone]

Everything frozen this AM after the showers last night. 27F.

 

[dendrite]

Only down to 30.4° this morning. Kinda crazy that it’s mid Novie and I haven’t been below 25.9° yet.

 

25 more days until the sunsets start getting later.

Wow, I would have guessed maybe Maryland was furthest North for a palm.  The one you posted does have the advantage of being right up against a building.

It was Eek in Laconia until he got tired of winterizing it.

Most references rate the species as hardy to USDA hardiness zone 8b. A small number of specimens are cultivated beyond the typical regions sabal is known to be cultivated in, including parts of Tennessee, northern Virginia, and along the middle Atlantic coast from Maryland to coastal New Jersey and coastal Connecticut. A long term specimen grows in favorable microclimate (zone 7a/b) at the University of Bridgeport CT since 2009.
