I took a few shots myself - similar to the ones posted from my south. Really pretty this morning with the snow sticking to everything. 2" is my final. No snow though in the CT River Valley where I am today. Very elevation dependant but I also think the hills to my south and east did the best. I always seemed to be on the northern edge of the really good bands.

Beautiful ride in to work today, area by exit 86 on 395 (Griswold, Voluntown area) really got some good snow, probably 3 there. Work valley in Ledyard had a trace, what a difference 100 feet made. Long views from our obs Tower, quality sucks but you can see how much difference even a little elevation made.

We probably had about 1/2" of snow here, which isn't much due to QPF problems. I hope this isn't one of those winters where GC and NNE get cursed with QPF problems like '03-'04 or '04-'05.

Flew into BDL around 4 PM yesterday from TPA and it was a snow/rain mix in the CT River Valley at 34-35° F. There really wasn't any accumulation until you reached about 800-900'. Precipitation was too light to fight the warm BL outside of the frontogenesis band below 1K feet.

It was an interesting landing as you couldn't see the ground until we descended below 1K feet or so. Ceilings were very low. It was like we were in the clouds and had no idea how high we were and then boom, the ground and the runway is suddenly right there below you. Instruments FTW.

Wow, that's really cool Steve.

Just wish I had a good camera, left my good cell and my camera home today. Even from the valley in Plainfield you could see really great caked hills all around, 100 feet rise on those small hills. Griswold looks just like Kevs spot, wish there were more spotters around .

that second pic is awesome. amazing those little hills had that much difference.

Yea I was stricken by the difference several times on my way in. RT 164 is a winding undulating up and down kind of road in Preston CT, elevation change is maybe 75-100 feet, each corner and hill was different by as much as 1-2 inches. I am sure it was snowing just as hard down low but a small warm layer was trapped in these valleys, maybe 100 feet deep that kept them from accumulating.

Very nice pic. Looked like my pics last night except it was dark out. Amazing how much difference there was between 900-1000 feet and 600 feet in the general ORH area. What did you measure?

I had around 1.5" on board but it was over 2" on the grass.
