codfishsnowman Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 No way that 21.7 is correct, even with six hour method Barely a foot here 7 miles ssw, no one else reports more than 14 in any of the surrounding towns except Ludlow which is the Lunnenburg of this area in that regard So to Ginxy....seeing that ridiculous inflated total makes the whole situation even worse around here bc it is an absolute and utter lie!!! Despite colder temps it was a moisture laden foot or so of man snow, nice storm for mid march but nothing earth shattering A little suspicious about BDL too, seems an inch or two too high Discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDL seems OK... that's what Collinsville had. The storm also had some weird jackpots. There was a band of 18-20 in Bristol/Southington/Burlington CT even though I only had 13 or 14 here in WeHa.

I would be very surprised if the Tag was not instituted in the near future. Expand Look at DIT's season total compared to other folks in the area, that's a direct result of elevation. Some might not believe it but having lived at 825' myself it's 100% accurate. Having driven through the area between Springfield and Northampton for 35 years for skiing, that area chronically has less snow than surrounding areas. Even driving to Mount Snow yesterday, my son remarked how much less snow was OTG there than in Enfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who has done even a remote bit of traveling in new england during the winter knows this. I used to love my trip from R.I.up to Williamstown, Ma in a snow storm during my college days. Almost everytime there was an eastern or southen taint issue I would eventually drive out of it into all snow. I used to love those night rides. Even in certain storms I would notice differences on I90 in Springfield and usually the snow amounts were low there. Kevin gets a lot of sh.it for the reason you mention, people just dont get where he is and how his location can be a snow magnet. He will even tell you that part of the reason that he lives where he does on purpose for that reason. Everyone wants to jack but thats not the way it works.

ORH_wxman Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Doesn't scoob live right near CEF? Maybe he could chime in on how much snow there was around there.
