so my dad finally got to use the blower this morning and discovered what I did the other day... ariens had to go and fix something that didn't need fixing...the clutch is so sensitive and first gear so fast, it just bounces unless the driveway is flat and smooth... gonna take some breaking in I suspect. Also, their smart turn technology is garbage, found myself fighting the steering the whole time, when my old one was simply a zero turn blower and was great... my dad didn't like how they moved the shoot adjustment to the middle of the blower instead of behind, but that didn't bother me as much as the clutch and steering... regardless better than shoveling of course it hasn't seen a really big storm yet, so we'll see how it does then HA!

was hoping it would hold together for just a little more, push my season total over the 15-16 total this winter is currently tied with, but no dice...if nothing else falls this season, tied as the worst winter snow wise in the recorded history going back to 1887, wow.

radar looked like it tried to fill in, then just fizzled out as it moved east, probably do it for this one minus some flakes and showers... officially even with 15-16 as the worst winter ever, hopefully we can pull something until full spring to surpass

just went out and shoveled a path to the stairs and it's definitely concrete, measured almost 4 though, can't imagine much more falling as radar looks like garbage upstream

was there any lightening reports around Winsted Torrington area? I swear I heard a rumble, but I saw nothing and thought it was plow, but it was different... little lull right now but just before it, it was a good burst, I measured 1.4 at 1015

you guys got me at the window waiting for thunder now, it wouldn't surprise me with how hard it's snowing right now, Jesus! edit: just measured an inch otg.

thanks, that's what I like to hear

has that sleet line progressed at all? I don't have weathertap, my sub ran out the other day so I'm relegated to wunderground radar. just took a quick measure and it was .8 so far and still SN+, my 1/4mi marker has disappeared..

roads are fully covered now, as is that spot I shoveled about 20min ago, vis is way down, although the growth is not as good as before, flake size little smaller, but still wow, impressed

yeah, I just heard the plow go by on 8, seriously it's barely covered

is that weenie mt tolland??

not sure if this pic does any justice, but...

absolutely pouring snow right now, this was 10 minutes ago, over 1/2" already and under 1/4mi vis, nice winds too

yeah, I'm impressed how hard it came in and stayed if not gotten heavier... closing on 1/2" on the board, just coating on roads and driveway

almost on the nose with 830...vis down to just over 1/4 here atm, nice growth too, and everything coated, except roads

some nice looking returns downstream, looking like it's filling in also, decent breeze here too, 11, gusting near 20 in the last hour

ALY had this area starting between 6-8, later further N and E...

ripping pretty good here now, starting to stick to the driveway, hope yet...vis just over 1/2mi, if we can pound 1/4mi with good growth here for a few hours, we should be ok to at least hit 4".

38/22 now ..felt the first drop of something, we gon start an obs thread, or just post em here?

apparently snowing over head here, nothing falling yet, 38/20, wetbulb around 28...

ALY afternoon AFD suggested the 700 warm tongue gets as far north as the VT/MA border with mostly sleet, and ZR for my hood up to maybe PIT, I'll take pingers, I loathe ZR though

man, can I buy 60 miles! always amazed me just how different the weather can be in the northeast, only a few miles can determine a foot or 4" of snow, minus the big region wide KU events that get every in on the goods. Really noticed just how much when I moved to Winsted from Waterbury, avg like 30" more a year, and Norfolk probably gets a good 10" more than I, and I can walk there in about an hour or so... crazy

meh for my area, nice SVT and north of ALY though, should cash nicely in up there

thanks Will, I've never really dug into how the sounding plots really work, suppose I should get into it, useful info.what determines where the DGZ is, is it always at the same level, or does it change based on the lift, and dynamics of the levels? sorry for the elementary questions, just trying to get a grip on what I see.

I've been wondering same... had me with about 10" leading up to yesterday where it began dropping now at 5".
