Damage In Tolland

When that wind direction it actually makes sense the higher totals were w and SW of Union as the enhanced echoes there fell downstream from wind direction.

Maybe not in true sense.. But if you loop the radar from that storm.. It clearly shows the snow enhancing as that air hits the higher elevations of Eastern and then North eastern CT. Even over NW Ri a bit

?

That firehose will always be in my top 3 faves. I remember worrying the whole time that the horrific dry slot over RI would make it here.. But instead we had some up slope component and kept pounding snow . I think it got very close to Central Windham county, but then filled back in relatively quickly

Was sleet all day until late afternoon/early eve when it mixed and finally went to snow. Think we ended up with 7-8

Saving pictures of Jerry on a home PC?

Somers has very high points on the Tolland/Ellington line. In fact Soapstone Mountain which is less than 10 minutes from me is near 1,000k. It's crazy though..how fast you lose elevation as you go down into the center of Somers twds Enfield That wxradio Herb/David had on in the background used to get signals from a transmitter on top of Soapstone. there's some great running/hiking trails there and a fire tower at the top with great views

Not at all Stephen..I knew it wasn't Herb..but couldn't recall if it was John, Jack, or Dave

Great video John.. Brings back good memories. Which one is you? In the bomber Celtics jacket or the Russian hat?

When you put it on the line and go balls to wall.. you open yourself up to 2 things: It's king of the world when you nail it and you are the greatest..but if you bust you are ripped to shreds..which in all fairness is acceptable

That radar from SE Ct stretching due SE out into the ocean looks beautiful. That is exactly what we wanted to see

I'm not going to say anything about NYC because a few posters assured us their heavy snow looked great . I just mean I think the Euro/Euro ens idea of a widespread regional crushing with a massive jack in Se MA..might actually be the way to think here.

I think you're along the right track ..I still think though that we are going to see a rather expansive area..perhaps much wider than you'd expect of some big 20-24+ totals that could encompass much of SNE .. Instead of one of those 30 mile wide bands..But we'll see how it all plays out

40-50 inch amounts in a few places there seems likely

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0043 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0533 PM CST MON JAN 26 2015 Areas affected, ern long island / cape cod and portions of ern ma / ri / sern ct concerning, heavy snow valid 262333Z - 270430Z summary, heavy snowfall rates 1+ inches/hour will probably begin between 01-03 UTC along the immediate coast of srn new england and ern long island. discussion, 23Z surface analysis shows an estimated 994-mb low 200 mi SE acy and surface temps below freezing along the srn new england coast. water vapor imagery shows a negative-tilt mid-level trough located over the carolinas and wrn atlantic early this evening. very strong h5 height falls /180 m per 12 hr/ will likely occur downstream during the next 12 hours to the SE of long island

I think Will said earlier that in Nemo the RPM had the same thing the day of the event and had Ct almost no snow..only to have the megaband end up there.

How much north and south of it?

I laid awake from 1-3 last night thinking about the storm..then got up at 4:10 and was out running by 4:45..I am tired. Gonna try and hit the sack around 8:00 and maybe get up 2:00

Look at that def. band coming onto the Cape stretching to the SW of LI>.that's the beast right there for central areas

Yeah I agree.. I've been on that train all afternoon. I don't think this is one of those 30 mile wide bands..There may just be 100's of miles of 24+

Also as Ryan noted the ENS mean was somewhat east of the op

The Euro kind of just has one massive megaband..outside of Se MA. That's why those big 24+ totals are spread all over Ct and MA

The band on LI into NYC is OES/convergence zone..It really wasn't part of the storm

Compromise is perfect for all of SNE
