mreaves Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Down to 25.2F after that decent SHSN. Pretty rare to be this cold at this time of day during this time of year.We are over in Littleton and it is pretty brutal with the wind. Car thermo read 25F. It got down to 21F over the high ground in Groton, VT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I was outside with my son when I heard my neighbor's oak go. Definitely scary. That's 3 local fatalities due to wet snow down trees this winter. 4. There were 2 in that other event Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Icicles middle of the day in April. Love it. I was noticing that too. I walked my dog around our neighborhood a couple of miles. Normally in April a 2" would melt quickly. Not today Lots of evidence of grapuel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanStWx Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Elevation may have played some role, but not the primary one.Manchester, CT had as much as I did and that's valley town for the most part. Scooter got 5" on the beach there in S Weymouth.. It was more about getting under the heaviest echoes. if you loop the radar from 3:00-6:00am..far eastern HFD county and then northern Tolland County into NW RI got under the best stuff and that continued over to S Weymouth. I got up at 3:30 and it was 2" per hour snows Probably played more of a role the farther west one was. Before heights crashed and the low started cranking.

JC-CT Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Probably played more of a role the farther west one was. Before heights crashed and the low started cranking.Well that, and the PNS report from Manchester could have come from 100' or 800' depending on where in town it was. Minor details.

JC-CT Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 However, having driven to Manchester this morning, I will say that it was most definitely a combo of the two. Around 500-600' where 6 turns into 44 in Bolton there was definitely more snow than in my town at the same elevations. Makes sense given the location of the best banding to the western side of Tolland County. However, downtown Manchester had noticeably less.

powderfreak Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 We are over in Littleton and it is pretty brutal with the wind. Car thermo read 25F. It got down to 21F over the high ground in Groton, VT. Up this way MVL was 20/7 at 1-2pm middle afternoon in April. It's obnoxiously cold and dry out. Sitting at 20F with a Td of 0F right now. Atrocious.

Sitting at 20F with a Td of 0F right now. Atrocious. ALB was pretty close to their 4/3 850MB record low this morning. A pretty impressive air mass for this date. Feels like a typical January day out there with the wind. Without the wind the sun is pretty strong. Topped out at 34° here which is a record low max for me (since 1985).

Damage In Tolland Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 It's 23.9 here . It'll be in the teens early tomorrow morning with snow falling. Just like April 82 storm. Never thought we'd see that again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying the same thing can happen with snow and cold etcNeither site should be close to those max temps, but I know what you're trying to say. It will feel more like a winter event tomorrow than a spring event. You and ORH will probably have a sub-32 high. Still impressive. 82 was just insane though.

If the snow stays pretty decent intensity during the peak 15z-20z hours, then I could see a bust on the cold side. MAV has 28F for a high at ORH and MET is 31F...I could see it turning into a high of like 26F or something in the above scenario...but if stuff lightens up then it will want to crack 30F.

I just cringe comparing tomorrow in any way to it. Oh yeah, no way we'll match that, lol. I think we had two record lows in '82 as well...not just record low maxes. There's very little precedent for something like what happened in '82 in April...it basically stands alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 4 Seasons Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Trying to put together a map for CT snowfall totals. If anyone has any reports from the 4 southern counties (New Haven, Fairfield, Middlesex, New London) please PM me or reply in this thread, thanks. Looks like snow accumulated all the way to the shore but by the time i got up it was all melted. From the NWS: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
