powderfreak Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Thats a little more than Kevin...Kevin is more like 58-60. You need to post more, and I need to post less haha. Through all this BS including my posts, Will is in here having a chat on seasonal snowfall averages in SNE. Beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I feel like I get 2-3" more than him in every storm...we do much better in marginal setups also like Octobomb. I had 22" while he had 12. lol Norfolk seems to only beat me by 2-3" every storm too except they nickel and dime their way up a lot more often it seems. Probably snows a couple inches there all the time while I'm getting nothing. Cool stuff to have so close. Yeah in storms that are pretty uniform for precip shield, but you have to remember the storms where you are too far west too such as Dec '09...in the end it ends up being a few more inches there vs Tolland.

Yeah Norfolk/Goshen are the CT winners in terms of populated areas (there are other areas on the NY border and in Cornwall/Canaan that are unpopulated that do well). Hartland/Colebrook do very well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Coastals get him more than you and sleet does add up too. I realize he's in a better place than Storrs but the NW hills drummed the NE hills almost every season. I remember being really depressed calling home on a few occasions.

weathafella Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I have been to Oakland, Citi field, Fenway, Yankee Stadium and Camden. But I want to see all of them in one season. I will do it. I've been to Dodger Stadium, Anaheim Stadium, Candlestick Park, Commiskey, Wrigley, Shea, Camden Yards, old Yankee Stadium, Fenway. I'm heading to San Francisco Monday and have a good mind to check out the Yankees/Oakland game Sunday afternoon but I'd have t rearrange too many things.

weathafella Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 We should be able to retire at 55 with full benefits then go back to work at 68. I figure 13 years and my bucket would be full. I'm gng to retire at 75 and go back to work at 88. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being really depressed calling home on a few occasions. Yup... more often than not the high terrain in Litchfield County does quite a bit better than high terrain in NE CT. Kevin's elevation yields him bonus snows in marginal events that screw the valley with warmth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I realize he's in a better place than Storrs but the NW hills drummed the NE hills almost every season. I remember being really depressed calling home on a few occasions. The extra elevation really helps too... there may not seem like much of a difference between 985ft (quasi 1000ft) and say 1,300-1,400ft but it definitely adds several inches a year (just like the difference between say 400-800ft). The NW Hills are also part of a larger area of topographic uplift and have a higher average elevation, that's gotta help in upslope assist no matter if the wind is coming out of the west (Hudson Valley) or east (CT Valley). Also further away from any SE flow warm air coming in from the south coast or MA coast, dying lake effect putting down a few inches of 40:1 fluff every now and again... I'm surprised the difference isn't greater between the NE and NW corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised the difference isn't greater between the NE and NW corners. There's definitely a big difference. Even really snowy towns like Torrington and New Hartford can have up to several inches less than places a bit further up into the hills. I never loved my location because snow would drift in every event but the several hundred foot climb on RT 4 certainly helped. Thinking back I took for granted the view though lol.

Ginx snewx Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 The new ine. Saw Bo Jackson hit one t. You need to go to the new Yankee, awesome. My fav Bo moment, hit one inFenway, I was sitting by the camera well in center, the friigin ball was going up when it hit, sounded like a gun shot. Looked like a Tiger drive off the tee. I saw Dave Winfield hit one like that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how once you get west of Goshen/Norfolk how things drop off. Big shadow area in Cornwall (outside of Mohawk Mtn ridge line), Canaan, No Canaan, Salisbury, Sharon, etc. The higher elevations like Hartland/Colebrook do better than the far NW corner.

CoastalWx Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 lol... I realize it can get to be a lot sometimes with the posts about snow. I gotta cut back this winter a bit, but I really don't want to come off like Pete, bragging about snow and snow cover in every post (I like ya Pete but you know what I mean). I enjoy discussing it but try to do it in a way that isn't constantly shoving it down everyone's throats. I will say I honestly wish more folks on here got upslope snow... I am absolutely fascinated by that phenomenon (orographic lift anywhere, Oregon to VT) and know we'd have some awesome discussions if we could just get it to happen regularly in the ORH hills Lol I'm kidding. Why should you cut back if thats your passion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, driving around up there during winter you can definitely see little microclimates. I wish I had a DSLR before 2003 as other digital pics are lost and my film are packed in a box somewhere. Almost everything I have is near home 2003 and on, plus I was in Storrs most of those winters. Those first few sets of ridges on the east side of the hills get some nice totals in a lot of events. I don't really remember lake effect ever being much though I want to say we were often on the eastern most edge of those bands. I do recall one event that gave like 2-3", with a number of dustings to 1". If I ever move back to CT I'd be really tempted to go back to that area. Good severe as well.

NECT Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Yeah Norfolk/Goshen are the CT winners in terms of populated areas (there are other areas on the NY border and in Cornwall/Canaan that are unpopulated that do well). Hartland/Colebrook do very well too. I have a cousin who lives in Norfolk. It's a totally different climate much of the time in the Winter.
