NECT

33º and rain for hours on end. A little sleet, snow, thunder and hail mixed in, but overall, blech.

Had a little burst of hail for good measure.

Still sleet here in the valley.

.09" pure liquid so far. 34º and holding for now. Thinking I'm on the line here - right around 700'. Will see what tomorrow brings. Maybe NW CT and the Berks get the ice.

Got up to 31º today. Best estimate is .3" of ice. Had a little snow/sleet mix in around 8:00 tonight, but other than that, been a steady freezing drizzle all day.

Maybe 2" if I slant stick. Been mixing for a couple hours, finally settled in on sleet.

24º and dp is 14.

I ws there too. Drove up the night before...rained all the way until Ayotte's, that's where it turned to snow. Almost nothing was open in the am because there was a skeleton crew and everything was buried. Amazing couple days of skiing once they dug out.

Sarcasm is tough to read on the internet, right? Or is that really your call?

Rough night in OBX.

Blizzard of '78. 2013 Blizzard, coupled with the snow depths that winter. October snow followed by Irene. Close to two weeks without power in a couple months. October 2005 flooding. Memorable because several roads in town were flooded, and I've never seen that around here before or since. 1973 ice storm...I have only vague memories of using a runner sled in my yard.....those things are useless without ice.

Cat 1 by noon tomorrow? Are you sure you dont want to edit your post?

Josh and folks like him are a bit crazy IMHO (perhaps crazy isn't the right description). That being said, from a historical perspective, they provide invaluable documentation. Perhaps a couple people who might consider riding out a hurricane will see their videos and realize why evacuation orders are given even when a direct hit is not a certainty.

Is it just me, or has it been 40º and rain since October?

Made it to Sugarloaf Tuesday night (the 16th). A few flurries were in the air. The weather was epic on Wednesday. Clear blue sky, hardly any wind, and by noon or so, conditions were great up top (had softened enough) and the bottom was really soft, but not impossible slushy. Decided not to buy a ticket this morning, as forecast was a bit suspect (incoming clouds, showers/flurries and wind) and it looked crispy up top. Turned out to be the right call as the winds came in after noon, and they pretty much shut down all the lifts by the time things were softening up. My legs were pretty sore from the previous day anyway....looking down Bubble Cuffer (at least I think that's what this was). All natural snow trail. Incredible cover for mid-April.

Don't have a snow board, and by the time I got out to clear my driveway, had about 11". Snow has settled to about 6-7" or so, which was the upper end of what I had hoped for. Definitely ripped for a few hours when I was sleeping. November and March are clearly the best months for snow in SNE :-)

Lol....16.1" then.

Going with 16" in my part of Woodstock.

Guessing there's about 12" new snow. Will measure when I go out to clear the driveway. Still coming down heavy.

Nevermind. You edited?

No love for me?

I get what you're selling. It's hard to predict where the heaviest banding will set up. West of the CT river and up into the Berks always seem to do well no matter the forecast. The snow hole will be somewhere too.

Right. Because with all the factors that go into a storm, this will be the deciding factor....

Makes sense. I was wondering how you convinced a family member to help you in your endeavor.

Who took the pics?
