Plus just the nature of the storm I really think some just stopped reporting. My Grandfather was district manager of H.E.L.Co. ( now spinning like an EF5 in his grave due to Neversource ) in Simsbury at the time. They used to keep track of depths for the crews etc and said at the office they had 26 inches as best they could tell but he felt it was more just impossible to tell with the winds. And man! Imagine those winds with the 2013 storm! THAT would have been insane!
Likewise! I grew up in Granby CT. We were at the bus stop when my mom and a couple other parents came walking to the bus stop. We were like WTF they never come see us. When they said they got a call and school was cancelled you could probably hear our excitement a mile away! And no school the rest of the week
