Damage In Tolland

I had to reseed many areas in early September. In fact.. if you look along the curb.. that is all new grass. It never came back . You can see the areas of lighter green grass where it’s new grass . The rains finally came in mid - late Aug but damage had been done

Norfolk which averages 80” a year gets less than Hotford on that map. Vodka

I’ve actually spent a lot of time there . What’s the highest point in town not associated with Talcott Ridge ?

Perhaps side with Kev?

Simsbury is not snowy dude .. lol. It’s a valley town . NW of Hotford .. but enjoy the retention after screamers

What in the sam hell is that map ? It has Simsbury averaging more snow than Norfolk Your town is on par with the valley .. Farmington , WeHa etc. About 45”

Yeah I think that’s the lean . Likely not gonna cut into a -AO/ - NAO

Highest point is 1003’ which is the other direction. If you are thinking that spot it in that pic is higher than my house well …. beer

Ryan’s got a rainer and 50’s for Tgiving. To me that one has a chance to be snow

I’ve been thru that area many times for work and kids sports over the years. After a screamer they often have 3-4” of total frozen crust . But it’s a bad spot in winter storms .. particularly coastals . He’s bounded by Talcott Mtn on one side and NW hills on other . Right along Farmington River .. in thst valley

Final fall leaf mow up complete. So nice knowing no more yard work for season. Amazing how green lawns are. High if 38… it was frigid on the tractor even in full winter gear. Today we green , tomorrow night we whiten

Early deep winter day at warmest part of day . First day in 30’s

Simsbury is the valley floor. So not a great snow spot . That particular area does extremely well with CAD. In fact , one of the best in the state. Many times they retain snowcover while 95% of the state is bare. Similar to Hippy’s area.

I’ll be Banging snow in Bangor

Should be 2-4” in Bangor Wednesday

Cool and dry next week

Getting snowier GEFS ensemble mean accumulations are up to about 2" north of the Rte 2 corridor, which seems more realistic than the 00Z deterministic ECMWF which brings accumulations of over 5" to the western reaches of our CWA. Given the trends mentioned above, favoring lower end accumulations with this update, with a coating to 2" inches possible north and west of Worcester and in the high terrain of northern CT, with 3"+ totals isolated to the highest elevations of the Berkshires.

Stein on it

That’s the GFS verbatim for Tgiving . Euro is like 30 degrees colder . It has us in the teens the day before Tgiving

Euro is frigid for Tgiving week and day

18z GFS came in colder . Unless we see a late bump north. This starts as snow NW of 95 and whitens at a minimum to NW of 95 to 84 to the pike .

There will be a narrow icestorm zone in Berks to S VT

Grab some inch ? 12z global and ensemble guidance trended a bit higher with snow amounts. Greatest risk for 6 inches of snow still confined to northern New Eng but confidence is increasing in 1-4 inches accumulation interior northern and western MA, with best chance of 3 or 4 inches in the Berkshires. Probably not more than a slushy coating to an inch along the I-495 to I-90 and I-84 corridor before getting washed away with the change to rain. Still 60-72h from the event so changes are still possible and further adjustments may be needed.

I’ll be in Portland Tuesday and Bangor on Wednesday.. any chance the Bang gets snow or too far SE?

Early season icestorm looking likely for Berks into S VT
