Hoth

We back door. Shorts sleeves away, flannels back to stay.

Aren't we still Ninoish? That generally does not bode well for shear and Atlantic cyclone formation.

Low fifties, window open, bright sunshine, abundant birdsong. It's gorgeous out, folks. Happy spring.

Finally popped my Hill Farmstead cherry. Delicious.

Giddy up.

I agree with this sentiment. If this event had been sandwiched in the middle of Feb '15 I could see it slipping into obscurity, but given the utter lack of interesting events this winter, this will be an event I'll remember from this year.

Wait till Lunenberg reports.

God, what a relief this is.

Man, it's gorgeous out there. Full sun, blue skies, cotton balls in the trees, deep deep blanket. Days of yore.

That's funny. I was indeed speaking colloquially, but clearly I must have had some shadow of you bounding around in my subconscious to choose that particular turn of phrase.

Wow, that's some turnaround in your hood!

While this storm looked nothing like Jan 27, 2011 at H5, in terms of sensible impact it reminds me a lot of it. Wet clingy snow, blinding death band across southern CT into RI and MA mainly in the wee hours of the night, models continually beefing up, over performing expectations etc. This was an awesome little critter. I haven't measured yet, but looks like we're solidly in double digits. Improbable as it would've seemed a week ago, this brings my season up to average in the snow department, with 90% of snow occurring in November or March. I will say that I can no longer flunk the season entirely--indeed after last night I may not even require it to complete a remedial summer course. No, in thanks for last night's generous thumping, I'm content to mark it down as a gentleman's C. Maybe we can cash in once or twice more in the coming 10 days before we start to transition towards spring.

You got the right brew for the job too.

Heavy snow on the doorstep now. Eyeballing 3"+. Let her rip.

Yeah it's thumping now. I wonder if this will be a little like that paster we had last March that caused all the power issues...

lol, thanks dude. Good luck up there.

Most of it melted today. Still have coverage in the northern shaded areas.

Light snow. Grass coated, roads wet.

Hey, if that Hamden amount was mine, it needs to be brought down. I was 2.4" when I actually went out to measure. Apparently my weenie goggles need adjusting.

3.5" will prob do it. Nice wintry appeal the last few days.

Well, my grass has officially disappeared for the first time since November. Small victory.

Thanks. My first morning all winter sipping my coffee while watching the snow fall. I missed this.

Just over an inch. Pretty out, but another meh system.

Ouch.

We'll see, Jim. Good luck in your hood.
