35”

Best I can do for you is 15.3” COCORAHS report from this morning for Taunton.

21” here in Centerville, Barnstable (pretty challenging to measure so +/- a few inches on either side). No power, no cell service since 5AM yesterday. Need to drive on Route 28 for cell service to improve. 

While we are on the topic, pet peeve is Broadcast stations using reports form 2PM yesterday for their snowfall graphics.

KJU did whenever he felt like shoveling. He got 16-20” measurements in the backyard to spot checking the 18.75” total from clearing. . 

Roof assisted? Possible…but no way to know. Make it 17” for your records to match @Spanks45if you prefer but he lives in the valley with first part of storm being warm I probably accumulated before him. my book is confirmed and closed at 18.75” though lol.

where in southbury though? west east? central?

Easy to spot the drift measurements in a storm like this up here.

Or a wind-scoured valley, like our stake in the April 1982 blizzard at Fort Kent.

4/6:  24    0       T        T      27"
4/7:   17   10    1.10"   15.0"  26"   Wind NW 35G60, vis near zero
4/8:  23   13   0.14"    2.0"   25"   Wind NW 20G40

I doubt there was much melting, but 15-20 feet either side of the stake there were 6-foot drifts.

Here is a great pic taken by a friend of mine this morning, while walking his dog on the course at The Country club of Fairfield.  This is a classic links course, meaning it abuts the sea.  You can see that the wind has scoured every bit of accumulation from the fairways!

Ooh, maybe @Chrisrotary12and I can get a tee time for sometime next week.

Going with 21" 

forgotten yardstick in backyard was @ 30", but slightly slanted from the wind (lol). Also started at 7" from previous depth.

ESandwich Coop was 18", but my locale was in the death band eastern fringes more frequently. 8-10 miles to my west and north had close to 30". Forestdale reported over 20", to my SE.

Depth and drifts with this well exceed Jan 22. I feel confident in my estimate within 1 or 2"

Although a bit disappointed I missed out on the extra 9-10" by only a few miles, still a top 5'er personally

Just wanted to drop in from the Mid Atlantic forum to say congrats to all on these amazing totals and an epic storm. 
 

We got shafted yet again here in Baltimore (been a miserable decade for the North Central Maryland specifically), but I’m trying not to be TOO big of a bitter bitch about it. I’m super jealous of y’all, but I really am happy for fellow weenies that got to enjoy such a historic event.

If you have a very windy storm like this one and you measure downwind from a roof, you definitely can get inflated totals. These are always so hard to get measurements in. You are essentially reporting a measurement with a legit 10% error bar.

It makes the situation more impactful in cities. You’re adding all that roof snow into narrow streets.
