powderfreak Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 super low dews, all dark exposed surfaces are cleaned but anything with solid snow and those in the shade are fully covered. April 5th sun is so strong but what a Bluebird day. Those types of spring days with fresh snow cover and the strong sun can almost be euphoric.

CoastalWx Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Watch in HD. Sledding on April 5th. Only the 2nd time in my life that Powder Sledding would have been possible in April. Other was after the 2 storms in 1996. Will could tell if either were Powder though. Link - SLEDDING LOL, awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongBeachSurfFreak Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 To bad this storm missed ski country mostly. And down here we finally got to freezing just as precip moved out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Guess which side of the yard gets the sun. image.jpg Interstingly I bet your snow was much higher ratio yesterday than it was down here. There is no grass showing anywhere in town or Vernon in the valley. Even though it was only low 20's the snow was not powdery due to the Warner temps aloft fir some of the storm. Yours looks like that fluff that just vaporizes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May not have been a deep snow giving storm but very memorable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4 Seasons Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Lots of snow in northern CT over the past 2 days. The freezing rain and sleet impact in central and southern CT yesterday was impressive. Map looks very similar to Sunday's storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 The 2009-2010 example is very very loose. We had a fine winter that year and BTV actually had its largest storm on record in that winter and 90" on the season. The loose analogy is getting skunked while whiffed to the south, as I know there are some in SNE that refer to that as a horribly frustrating winter despite the overall totals. Moreso in northern Maine, where the early Jan retro-bomb destroyed winter. At CAR, 09-10 was far worse than this year - milder, less snow, more mess. They reached their peak snowpack (13") in Dec, and once Jan arrived never again made it to 10". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 4 Seasons Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 For fun i made this map that shows the total snowfall for both the Sunday & Monday storm, which is also the month-to-date snowfall for CT. These were two separate events obviously but still impressive to see 6 to 10" for a good chunk of CT for early April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
