HoarfrostHubb Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Around 3/4" of paste on grassy surfaces. Driveway and walkway are slushy. Evergreens are saggy baggy Better than I expected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even some 1/4sm +SN. Impressive to get 7 hours of steady daytime snow this time of year. Yup it is holding steady at 33, all day today. It's interesting how the climate changes from Glen's falls and North Parents just lost power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w1pf Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 NWS forecast didn't work out so well here.. not a good start to the season in the public's eyes.. Not good when the forecast says it'll be rain by noon, and it is still snowing at 6pm .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just some fat aggregates at times that didn't stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Definitely an overperformer today. All about intensity and that band that moved through between 2 and 4 definitely did it around Hartford. I didn't think we'd have accumulation on the roads in the valley but that didn't work out. Oh well. 1.5" at BDL is definitely impressive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 It's funny... the responses from viewers on social media (the complaining ones) are either "way to hype it up for a few flakes" or "wow this is way more than you said - you guys are never right."

CoastalWx Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I'm a little bummed ORH didn't do better. I thought they would. But the dim sun, WAA just off the deck and lack of good lift until it was too late, did it. The meso analysis was cool. Coldest 925 temps were where best lift was. Warmer just east and west of this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warmer just east and west of this area. Yeah on dual pol you could see warming around 5,000 feet or so surge north around 18z around HFD and then as heavier echoes came in it quickly crashed back south. We were probably 0.5F away at 875mb from getting 0" at BDL! Through 18z BDL had nothing... they got all of that in about 90 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Dumping parachutes again. I may be able to tack on another .25" - .50" . How often does the Pioneer Valley outperform ORH? Lights have flickered a few time though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Just some sloppy flakes here. A bit of slush on the deck and that's it. Extremely light precip - 0.03" LE so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like you are far enough NW that even the lower elevations will beat ORH occasionally...especially with precip coming from the SW. The real question is how often does Tolland get 2" while Winter Hill struggles to get consistent flakes to the surface? Kev's gotta be feeling good this evening haha.

If we get 6".. they get 10".. if we get 12".. they get 36" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, goes to show you how bad models are with torching lower 3000ft or so. All day to torch and you still had snow. Glad it was something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say all the time, I'll take swfe type events over coastals more often than not in the NW corner of MA. I'm sure MPM and Lurker would agree. Speaking of MPM he hasn't posted, maybe no power?

moneypitmike Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Congrats me.....4+ and still coming down. Rt2 is snow covered from greenfield west.
