We were expecting plain rain but never got above freezing near the river. That was an amazing month. Did the hills have snow or something? i would think me the ice storm fetish guy would recall that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2Otown_WX Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 10" here with a IP/SN mix. Definitely not as good as I thought it would be. I thought I would get 16" but it's not surprising given that we were relying solely on a fast-moving WCB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnmov Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Really started cranking here in Lexington in the past 15-20 minutes. Heavy snow. Gusty winds. We never really get strong winds in my general area though. Really sheltered by some big trees, but you can hear the "freight train" about 100 feet above the ground. Pasty snow now as well.

Tolland Death Band Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Jan 11 went whopper - moderate snow - whopper - then ice/rain early Feb. Valleys were colder in the early Feb storm than elevated areas which led to all the barn and greenhouse collapses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I would get 16" but it's not surprising given that we were relying solely on a fast-moving WCB. Yea, the full phase was needed to get the ccb going. Mostly IP with some snow mixing in, roughly 13" here, going out shortly. Might pick up a couple on the backside here though so maybe 16" is within reach. Doubt it though.

We got ic/ mix event in between the two huge snow events in January for certain...had to shovel roof(very end of January), and hack through the ice layer in a huge huge pack. feb was a separate mix/ice system perhaps.
