Looks good, ended up with a half inch of snow and sleet here in Southbury.

I’ve had those sensors never go below 33° all winter when the pack is deep enough. Where the ground is exposed it freezes deep though. I clear grassy areas for the chickens all winter and come April the cleared areas are usually about a half foot higher than the ground that was under pack because of how much it froze and heaved upward.

The 50-foot path between driveway and tool shed has the same effect, though closer to 4".

Deep blue all morning, now solid clouds.

Solid base to build on.

Well "Dryslot" showed my city 6.6", and I will say pretty accurate, I didn't have a chance to measure through the storm, but at 7am today found open spot behind my shop, ruler showed in three spots just about 6.25", long storm, just wish it didn't  mix. Hopefully others can cash in on the next one.

Definitely more than 1" where I am in Thomaston. That must have been right near Watertown.

The northern part of the Pioneer Valley maybe did a little bit better than that.  Lots of 5”-6.5” reports around Greenfield and Montague.

@The 4 SeasonsNo part of Tolland had 1.3” a dusting to 1/4”. 
 

I also don’t believe that Vernon total . Doesn’t matter really but just letting you know .

1.3" is for Vernon, there were no reports i saw from Tolland. The 1.3" vernon report was to your WSW and there was another report from Bolton of 1" south of that. There was a very sharp cut off as you can see from Somers 1.9" to Staffordville 0.3"

There was several hundred reports to go through i can't exactly verify every single one and based on the surrounding reports it looked reasonable

i used 8 (Greenfield COOP) and 6.5 respectively for those. Hard to fit everything in but they were in the >6" range

I'm closer to the 6.5 on that map or NE of the 7.4 .. I'm guessing that's the Baldwinville report which has a bit lower of a elevation.. some other towns around here beat me so no jack
