Rocking and rolling.

 

I was suprised that Yukon Cornelius in Barre was only at around 10" this morning.  He must live in the lee of a hill or something.

 

Subdude will be stuck on the access road into WaWa...

It's been ripping the past couple hours so I'm up to 12+ at this point, but I do always seem to get a little less than you.

 

The center of town here is 918' and I'm outside the center of town at 665', so maybe that plays into it at times...all though I do believe that this time I may have been on the far west edge of the good banding that you were in overnight.

 

Good stuff though, way more than I was thinking for here!  :)

GUYS it is Literally like the Storm KNOWS The RI Boarder!  Yesterday it would come in from the ocean and Stop on a N/S line before entering RI, then Last night, it would re-develop once CT started, but Still didn't push into RI.  NOW you look and it's creating a Tripod Over RI, and the echos NE of me just STOP over me, and the echos North of me Scut around Burrillville and go into NE CT.  

 

This.  Is.  Un - Real.  

 

(This map is only part 3, and I'm lucky as i'm doing better than Anyone in RI)

Last night at 9:00, I left western CT at folks back to my house in Falmouth, MA.  Normally, I wouldn't do something so stupid, but my wife flew into Providence, and I picked her up at 11:00.  CT roads were awful, snow was pounding until I got to Groton.  From there to PVD, roads were only wet/dry with flurries.  Once I left TF Green and rounded the bay onto 195, snow picked up and poured all the way to Falmouth. That snow hole was and is just amazing.  Too bad for the RI folks, but I didn't mind it driving.

I don't think that is strictly the case given my observations around here.  Given the same QPF, elevated areas have more snow than lower areas.  Staffordville is running a couple of inches more than me and he is a couple of hundred feet higher.  I saw places around 1000' yesterday afternoon that had more snow as well.

 

I'm sure it's part of the difference... but places like Manchester are over a foot at only 200 ft or so.

Radar looking great just to my east, in light snow right now, should get heavier soon. Agreed, upton busted bad on this, even at 1 AM last night when it was clear that this was going to overperform, they had 4.5" here, and I wasn't above 6" forecasted from them until 9 AM when I had 8" OTG, probably 9" or so storm total.

 

How much is usually lost to compaction and settling? if I have 8" OTG, it's probably closer to 9" fallen?

Why does Upton have their WSW out til 6pm, vs ours til 1 pm?  Also, think theyre ever going to adjust their Tolland WSW forecast to anything beyond 4-8?  Sheesh.. that might verify for my area, but certainly not for a lot of the rest of CT... Oh, and Boston WSW still forecast for 6-10!      :axe:
