do you have a full pack there?

Surprised we still have a full solid pack here probably 3-4" of crusty meat pretty shocked the rain and fog didnt eat it all away. Makes this event better than just bare ground. 

That is pretty accurate here,  measured between 3 and 4 in the yard today...still sleddable too, not a solid glacier

Honestly it’s the strangest pack I’ve had or seen around these parts. Most yards are between 70-100% . It’s literally different coverage in every yard .. and a lot is dependent on if the slope faces south or north . I’d be lying if I said 100 because it’s not . Grass under some trees . Other parts of my lawn have 2”. But if you look up and down any street it looks like deep winter 

I’d also say EOR spent more time in the low 40’s than WOR and y’all had 7-8” vs our 3-6.

Def wasn’t saturated .. barely flurries with that band . Looks like an area of moderate borderline heavy snow is approaching the NY state border. Good sign for later. .

Radar blossoming quickly from Waterbury SW moving NE

There should be some beef squalls along that cold front

Happy New Year everyone!  May you have health, peace, prosperity, and snow in 2026.

My wife and I just walked for 90 minutes.  Been a tough week-I caught a nasty cold somewhere but I think I have put the worst of it behind me.  Skies with high thin clouds but stars easily visible. Let’s see what happens after 4-8 falls…..

Happy new year. Something is definitely going around. My 20 week pregnant wife currently has RSV. No fun trying to keep that fever down!

Are you no longer in Brookline?

Same here…mod snow, nice big flakes, solid 0.5-1”/hr type stuff.

Hello all, just visiting for a few days from California. Have not seen accumulating snow fall since 2016 when we left, so I'll be up later peeking out the windows!

I will make it my mission to ensure that “beef squall” carries on in weather  weenie terminology for years to come. 

[HIPPYVALLEY]

This will be two nights in a row of a “heavy coating” (.25” range) 

[HIPPYVALLEY]

It’s actually pouring arctic sand right now. 
22° SN.

[Spanks45]

Just measured, almost an inch and still coming down nicely....Happy New Year!

Samsung down here in Mystic, CT!  Heavy Mood Snows is what I’d describe it as!  1/8” down in 20 minutes already with nothing to accumulate on.

 

  Just finished my Gig!  Happy New Year!
