    I'm supposedly under darker returns on radar now, snow growth has improved and I've gone from flurries to light snow lol. Was out earlier so not sure what my peak depth might have been but I'm about 3-3.5 on the grass right now.

    Just a horrible combination of in between banding features, low elevation, and time of day. Areas to both my west and east have done better than here. Even most of the Berks and Litchfield Hills is 6-12. Only positive is faster melting and less cleanup but really a big time disappointment overall.

    Awful storm here. Paltry rates most of the day. Maybe 3 on the grass. Sky brightens at times, main roads are melting, band is sitting 3 miles to my west for about 4 hours. Porked .

    Fairly mild 36.8 here as we watch radar.

    If I do move up it would most likely be to east slopes of the southern Berks or the Northwest Hills. Probably not way up on the spine but on the escarpment at like 1000-1200 where you can still get to civilization in 20-25 minutes. Granville MA is like 1200 but you can get down to Westfield in like 15 minutes. North Granby and Barkhamsted CT are similiar.

    Disgusting. One of the worst storms ever. My Dad was working in Dalton Ma and was stunned at how little snow we had at home. I kept looking up at the sky literally seeing the flakes pounding high up in the air but never making it to the ground.

    Cranky folks tonight. I'm off to bed. Hopefully the morning light will bring peace and good-will among men. Lol.

    Last year I did slightly better than BDL. The blizzard gave me a couple inches more being east of the river and I think I had about 6 inches more for the season but that was a big time longitude situation. The drive east on state route 190 was a bigtime gradient,probably like 70-75 inches in Enfield. 75-88 in Somers, 88-103 in Stafford in like a 20 mile drive east.

    I'm convinced my town is just about the worst in all of CT for the shadow / dry air channeling down the valley effects. I've seen the HFD area do slightly better than here in those situations. My latitude makes up for it so I probably still average about 3-4 inches more per year than HFD.

    I wonder if his brother lives in Lunenburg?

    Kevin benefits more from a marginal temp profile paste job up on his hill than true upslope. When I lived in Ellington at 400', Most big storms, 12+, he got maybe an inch or 2 more than I did, but he cashed in on a couple slushy coatings at my place where up on the hill was like 2-3.

    Snowtober still grabs my attention more than any of the recent blizzards. The shotguns and flashes all night and the destruction that was visible in the morning with that epic deform band of the ages over GC. Still don't think we will see anything like that again in our lifetimes.

    Absolutely stunning pics !!!.

    Was just up there last week. 1075 ASL is what the maps say. Beautiful view right on the edge of the valley. The escarpment is real sharp right there. . Its about 18 minutes from my house.

    Digging up old wounds. That ride from Enfield to Union on 190 had about a 20 inch snowfall difference.

    euro was correcting East for several runs in a row . Rgem shifts twice in a row more of us should have jumped
  17. CT Valley Snowman
    Euro Ensembles and Op locked in the day of the event. This model suite just took a massive hit with this storm.
  18. CT Valley Snowman
    The Rgem snow map west of ORH-Tolland is brutally low. This has honestly been my go-to model outside of the Euro in many events. When is the last time it was this far off the day of an event?
  19. CT Valley Snowman
    Im totally stunned at the model variance. Nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach.
  20. CT Valley Snowman
    any general ideas of QPF on the RGEM?
  21. CT Valley Snowman
    any more details on the rgem?
  22. CT Valley Snowman
    sorry it's probably me that's melting down the most, I just need to take a step back and see how it unfolds
  23. CT Valley Snowman
    honestly I wouldn't be shocked if it setup right on the valley floor, subsidence downsloping and shadowing FTL call me Debby downer but I've seen it too many times in this area
  24. CT Valley Snowman
    that sucker hole on the NAM better be wrong
  25. CT Valley Snowman
    not really,the euro is an all of southern New England special. 2 inches of QPF right to the New York border.
