Season stands at 59.0" here in Naugatuck. It looks like much of Connecticut saw 60 to 70" with a bit less across portions of central Connecticut, including one of the lowest reported totals at Bradley International Airport.

 

Here's a rough map I came up with for the eastern CONUS. Feel free to make any notes (only used reporting stations and didn't cross-reference this thread yet), as with relatively large spacing between the data points, there was a lot of estimating that was put into this. I'd like to post one that's been carefully fine-tuned at the end of the season.

I said I wasn't coming back here, and I don't plan to stick around, but I'm all for data collection and stats so I'll make an exception this one time. 69.4" of snow in Stamford, CT, was a great winter for sure and hope everyone enjoyed it. I'll be back this time next winter or to update this if we get the elusive April snowstorm to add to the totals ;)

Nice job, Quincy.

 

When I get some time, I will update our map, probably within the next couple of days.

Man this is the first time where I don't feel right about snowfall. It's not necessarily that I screwed up...but it made me go back and double check stuff. The coop east of me by about 4 miles in Hingham has more than 10" less than me. He does have missing data and I noticed he had less than me in the 1/21 storm when every else had more so that's probably an error. I mean I did try to get every nickel and dime that fell and perhaps he did not. I also had the surprise 1.5" or so that came on 1/18 where he had a trace. MQE had close to 85" IIRC. That actually makes me feel better since it was a cold winter overall and the storm where they really beat me was on 2/13. I beat them on 1/2 and 1/21. A few of these storms were ones where it made a difference every 6 hrs to measure either from fluff compaction or mixing.

The co-op 3 miles to my SSE (and 100' higher) consistently runs about 10% lower than my snow totals. However, I'm pretty sure he's a once-a-day measurer, and I do mine at 7 AM, also 9 PM (my personal obs time since 1976) and at other times as appropriate, like when accum ends at noon or some such. The Farmington co-op. 6 miles to my WNW (and about 30' higher) has averaged 2-3% more snow than I measure. My location is in the woods (a small lawn area) while the two co-ops are mostly cleared areas. Not sure how that would affect snow totals, but it does give my place better snowpack retention.

The co-op to my east is basically the head guy at Blue Hill Observatory, Bob Skilling. It's possible his duties allow him more time at the observatory up there then at home. It sucks because I tried pretty hard here and to have that discrepancy is weird. It make me stick out. This winter had its share of 1" there, 0.5" there events too. Maybe that's part of it.
