Interesting Westfield has had a few flurries for over an hour... sometimes there's big differences from there to here...although more often magnified in marginal events
Nice Teflon crust for the snow to accumulate on. The amount of ice underneath the snow afterwards is a bit concerning though. Could be tough walking around for a few days.
The thump was just a gentle tap ...one inch
Nice crust on it and plenty of slip sliding for the walking folk.
All those who forecasted meh for a decent portion of the area....well done!
Maybe I will take a ride to Greenfield to see deep winter
That's an unbelievable stretch of winter weather. That is something I would draw up in my basement. I know they have a lot of lousy winters down that way but when things go right down there the results can be incredible.
I remember being very suspicious of the huge forecast for interior West and West Central areas. Was also very suspicious of the foot plus forecasts well back into the mid and upper HV
We had just been crushed in 2/13. I had a hard time buying lightning would strike again so soon.
Things must be moving at lightening speed in the atmosphere. Just a few hours ago snow showers ushered in some colder air and windy conditions. A few hours later the wind is diminishing and the shade of blue in the sky has turned lighter and the sky is peppered with some cirrus out ahead of the next change in weather. In just 5 hours.
I HATED THAT STORM!!
Partly Sunny, windy and frigid with 6 inches of Arctic sand while twenty miles east was S++++ and wound up measuring in feet that Tuesday.
Widespread forecasts of 15 to 30 inches. It was eerily similar to Jan 2005.
It is nice to see good ice on the local ponds. Legit good skating and ice hockey conditions and while chilly its a beautiful winter day with high clouds mixed with sunshine. Modest WSW breeze.
The snow from Sunday hanging tough.
