Been dumping but with poor snowgrowth but snowgrowth has improved!

Yeah we missed the best meat of that band it slid south and the northern part weakened a bit.  Still good snows coming down and low visibility here.

Such a sweet band

The official Mt. Bristol elevation 15’ ASL measuring pole is ready for action.

yup still coming down nicely! 

unfortunately I don't think I'll hit my forecast here but this is fun regardless.

was waiting for your post! This bodes well for me

Over 2.5 inches here now (well 10 minutes ago)

[UnitedWx]

Make that 3

Lots of 5 to 6" reports from my clients in northern New Haven county and southern Litchfield county!  Some 6+ amounts 

[WinterSnow]

I don't have a ruler or anything and need to invest in that. The only thing I could think to do was take a ballpoint pen and then see how tall those are. They average from 5 to 6 inches. Snow went up clear over ballpoint pen, meaning we've hit at least 5 inches in Bristol! Heck yes! Keep it coming!

700 mb transitioning to lower levels further east. 1st image 700mb, 2nd 850mb.

I don't have a ruler either, but we're almost balls deep down here.

Only the first period. The Canadian looks lay another 4.5 on you.

Nice. As much as the plows have been by here, you'd swear we've had 6 lol

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Getting close now. Might get clipped by that band moving through CT which I think would be a complete bonus 

[WxWatcher007]

Obviously won't be as prolific here, but if there's a time for production here this is it. Snowing pretty good in advance.

Now that's beautiful.  Conservatively...6" or so on that table top?

 

edit: looking again that may be 7 or 8 lol

Had to dust off the Ole weenie stick. Been awhile since I've had to measure down here on the shoreline.

6.8 latest measurement here in Branford...

[OrangeCTWX]

Looks like some precip starting to fill in in NEPA?
