  1. I would also add that if I lived in an age predating social media/TV/internet etc., and had no idea that everywhere else in NE is getting a better storm, I would probably be delighted with what's falling, sleet or no.
  2. Still not happy to end up sleeting with this sort of antecedent airmass, but at least it's pounding during the day. It's gorgeous out.
  3. It's so enjoyable just floating on the snow. The only slippery spots were where the plows presalted. Enjoy!
  4. Fun run this morning, other than my eyelashes freezing together. We had very poor snow growth for a portion of it, but we are rocking and rolling now. Heavy snow and great dendrites!
  5. Stepping up quickly. Gorgeous high-ratio fluff. Heading out for a run before it gets treacherous.
  6. Don't forget, if all else fails, puree packing peanuts and disperse liberally about the landscape.
  7. Hamden F4 in July '89 is mine. First snow would be Thanksgiving that year, but the buildup to March '93 still holds a special space. Still remember the Weather Channel accumulation map with the bright white 1'+ demarcation stretched from Georgia to Maine and a little note that said "locally 3'+".
  8. Hearing OKX radar is offline. Perfect timing!
  9. We've lost what looked like a lock for 12"+ for days, and the signal for late next week is going too. Obviously I'll still take whatever I can get, but this is a bitter pill.
  10. This feels like March '17 all over. Quick snow thump while we watch the sleet line race across the Sound and know our joy will soon crumble.
  11. Amazing, a few days ago this thing was correcting north from the MA and I thought we were golden for a classic all-snow event in SNE. Now it's "congrats Dendrite" and another sloppy mess. Shoulda known.
  12. Best antecedent air mass in ages and I still taint. FML.
  13. Booger-freezing cold 5 mile run this morning. Epic airmass.
  14. Looks like you'll shatter your personal record. Congrats!
  15. I would say post 2016 for me things started to blur. Almost crystal clear recollections of all the big 'uns prior to that.
  16. This will feel like Nemo after the last six years.
  17. A fairly ordinary storm? Down here, 10-16” has been around our seasonal total for like 3 of the last six years. This is phenomenal!
  18. Alas, I was in Boston for that one. Great storm there too, but nothing like my folks in Hamden got.
  19. I'm stoked for this, but it's a trifle disappointing that even with a fantastic antecedent airmass we still can't seem to escape taint down here. It's been ages since we've had a bona fide major that stayed snow start to finish.
  20. I am sincerely happy for you. Hope you crack 2 feet.
