CT Rain Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 All the time and effort we devote to the board yet so unappreciated by some Weenies gonna ween. I'll stick with the first order climo stations for SNE that besides ORH had some pretty uninspiring totals. Job well done by the red taggers. Fail for the slant stickers.

free_man Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 It snowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmanmitch Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Those are nice pics from all of you. Wet snow is the best..there really is no comparison. It looks so much more impressive than wind blown fluff. However, my second favorite type of snow (this is rare for the coast due to wind), are those perfect dendrites that fall with no wind and pile up on everything. The type that sort of fall and cascade down the sides of cars or what have you...and make an 18" snowfall look like 2'+. It looks like this, although I don't know when or where this was taken. Somewhere in NYC during the 2/12/06 storm would be my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Somewhere in NYC during the 2/12/06 storm would be my guess. That was my guess too, but I love that type of snow. Pretty rare around here to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapturedNature Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Weenies gonna ween. I'll stick with the first order climo stations for SNE that besides ORH had some pretty uninspiring totals. Job well done by the red taggers. Fail for the slant stickers. Elevation played a large role where the ground was (and is) still covered around here. IMO, Outside of ORH, the other first order stations do not represent what happened higher up. From what I saw, there was clearly at least 2-3" above 500' and none below 200' in the CT River Valley. Will, do you know what your Union person received? I wasn't able to get over there today but I know the other 1000' spot I go over seemed to have about 3", but that is west of here. I think if they are in the eastern part of town they might have gotten some of those higher echos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N. OF PIKE Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Weenies gonna ween. I'll stick with the first order climo stations for SNE that besides ORH had some pretty uninspiring totals. Job well done by the red taggers. Fail for the slant stickers. that's convenient for an elevation storm that effected areas below the pike if you wanna pretend it didn't snow. and my tone is joking , but really there are A TON of hills in ct and if you were over 500 feet you got 2 inches of snow over 800 and you got 3 in alot of cases. same goes for rhode island. but alot or red taggers hit on this pretty well. weenies pretty much had their expectations in check over the last day or so, i don't think anyone was thinking they were getting 6 inches of snow, anywhere in SNE.

Damage In Tolland Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 The thing I noticed about this snowfall was even though temps were 31-32 the whole time..it was very fluffy. I wonder if the upper levels were really cold..because it wasn't your Tippy blue snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Nice to see Union back us up. Lol, he reported less than you. Though as I said before, board measurement vs grass measurement makes a difference...esp in early season snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a joke about the 1st order climo stations. The storm was pretty much AWT. Was hoping for a last minute break toward snowier but it just didn't happen. Always looked like elevated E CT had the best chance at seeing 2" or 3" and that's what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I had 2-2.5" on an old completely flat log out in front of my apartment. There is no reason blizz shouldn't have had 3.5-4". He has another 500' on me and was under heavier echoes. The obsession with his reports is weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though as I said before, board measurement vs grass measurement makes a difference...esp in early season snow. Yeah I noticed that with the early November storm. My ruler into grass measurement was giving me some monster weenie readings so at least initially I shaved 25% or so off those numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havent had a sip..And I used to drink 1-2 Cokes per day.Nothing puts/keeps weight on folks more than soda I eat very healthy, but do allow myself a DD Iced Mocha of some sort everyday. That syrup is loaded with sugar.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
