[Damage In Tolland]

Icestorm conditions

Late to the party on account of a full shit clog in my basement U joint, quite an experience. For what I just went through, I’m now demanding GFS verification.

Happy to report that the ski trails fared the storm really well. Even all natural terrain and glades are still in good shape with some decent powder stashes from the few inches we got overnight.

Boxing Day interesting on EPS too

Kind of surprising considering how warm it looked the last two days. Still not totally buying it, but this is clearly a very volatile look. I don’t trust anything out in LR right now given the weird exotic blocking we’ve been seeing showing from time to time.

Pray this fades over time:

15 days out…chances are good it will. 6 days out and the upper air look is still morphing.

Heavy, heavy damage around my property from last night's windstorm. The S to SE winds weren't anything to write home about here, but the W winds last night all hell broke loose! Gusts were easily in the 50-60 MPH range brought down these two large red spruces and several smaller snags (not photoed), one snapped right off and is resting on some live utility lines while another uprooted and is leaning on some smaller trees. 

There's still about 2-5" of styrofoam snow that survived the cutter. I had 12-14" beforehand. Season total at 33.3".

Yeah even N ORH county might get some rain....or at least very wet snow that prob isn't really sticking well. Might go an inch or two of paste there as the onset looks marginally cold enough. The system itself inst very impressive. Hard to get excited when you have the midlevel center NW of Ottawa....you're trying to get moisture advection on a dry wind direction. Western slopes might do a little better in that type of setup. Someone like @wxmanmitch(Mitch in S VT) will prob get like 8-10" while 10 miles east gets a sloppy inch with some drops mixed in late. 

Wound up with 8.5" from this.
