A somewhat pedestrian 12.5 here. Snow growth got much worse in the last 2 hours. Had 4.3" in the first 4 hours since wiping the board at 3 pm but only 1.2" in the last two.
Thanks man. It's been a while, I was living out in the Milwaukee area for a little over a year and a half. Got home sick and came back, good to be home.
Yes, good notes. I remember my friend in Southbury reporting 14 or 15". I had about what you had, 8 or 8.5. I just remember the ratios were really good, probably around 20:1.
I know it wasn't much to write home about for much of the subforum but the 1/7/11 Norlun overperformed quite a bit in portions of SW CT.

Thanks guys. I guess it's the opposite of what I thought. I always thought an east-based -NAO would put the trough axis too far east for here. Angrysummons - I don't know 2 out of 3 of those storms you mentioned. I will have to look at the January 1978 one on NARR.
Question for you guys; as an East Coast native, I'm wondering how much a -NAO matters for getting snow here? I'm guessing it doesn't matter as much and could even be a detriment if it's east-based?
I'm surprised at how poorly the Euro handled this system. I guess I'll have to start taking the GFS more seriously which means something significant could be brewing for the end of the week.
