I went to UMass and I did love it out there....most favorite part of MA for me. Holyoke Range...Mt tom, great mountain biking, good pike fishing in Oxbow, great local food. Tight stuff. Anyway I'm way off topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastonSN+ Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 12 hours ago, Damage In Tolland said: This was the best W CT snow season in many years. Many , many years. Every coastal they scored on. That doesn’t happen a lot For my area in SW Coastal CT it was the best year in terms of total snowfall since 2013 2014, which was better. This year is slightly better than 2014 2015 by 3.5 inches. This area cannot complain since we have had only 4 below average snowfall winters this century! SW CT has been absolutely blessed with snowfall this century. I guess the one complaint about the past several years is that our last major storm jackpot was 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle with Windham Co sometimes figuring out how to draw snow contours out that way because we don't get many obs from places other than KGINX. I thought the map was great. It outlines exactly where the terrain/ hills are. Much of Windham county is not elevated and most maps always include the whole county in higher amounts while leaving out some of Tolland county, which is almost all elevated to some degree.

EastonSN+ Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 12 hours ago, Ginx snewx said: NW Hills crush the Eastern Hills. SWCT hills more than the valley and all more than the southern coast from BDR to GON This is generally a good map with the exception of the south coast which should be in the 30 to 40 from BDR west. It is only represented this low because BDR ALWAYS UNDER REPORTS BY A LOT. Sorry had to use caps but their under reporting causes maps like this.

EastonSN+ Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 From NWS. This shows the idea of east vs west coast of CT. Again BDR under reporting causes this. The 30 to 35 should extend to the coast in SWCT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sn0waddict Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Gfs seems to indicate that we got about a week of winter left, and a potentially good one at that with quite a few snow chances. Let’s cash in one last time and then get into the 60s by the end of next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using GON and WST as representative of the SECT SWRI areas is really not smart. People who live there totally understand that anyone within a mile of the ocean gets much less snow. Even just north of GON in Northern GON you have these huge differences. Stats lie a lot and Mets who use them without local climo knowledge are missing the boat. Lumping all of SECT into GON makes zero sense. Q's map is great just needs to hug the shore more . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWolf Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 55 minutes ago, Whineminster said: yeah for snow it's been good. I'm just saying besides snow it's a pretty boring state, probably the most boring besides Delaware, but MA is boring too. Like VT, CA, FL, CO, HI are just cooler places to live that's all. Just a Dumb Post period. Holy Smokes. CT has lots to do, and such a varied landscape period. And it happens to be the richest state in the union lol... Florida is flat and sweltering...sand and swamp. If you like the heat...then it's fine. Other than that...forget it. CA is going in the dumper with regards to it's economy....but a beautiful state as far as it's geography goes. Every state has it's good and bad.

tamarack Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 9 hours ago, Whineminster said: Nowhere in CT is "great" for snow, but I feel they are far enough NE to get benchmark coastals but far enough Southwest to get Mid-Atlantic storms too. Otherwise CT is pretty blahhh in most other regards, not just snow. Depends on one's definition of great. Norfolk, at 1340' in the NW hills, averages 91", which is 1-2" more than Farmington in the Maine foothills. In 1955-56 Norfolk had 178", which would be #3 all time at CAR. In 2/61 their snowpack reached 55". That all floats my boat for "great". (And I think those NW hills get more than the NE primarily because they're several hundred feet higher) My earlier guess for the current storm - half an inch of sleety mush - turned out to be wildly optimistic. At 7 AM I'd had 0.06" of 33° RA with a few mangled flakes at the start. Friday now seems to be starving for qpf, Saturday a whiff (though if the grandkids in SNJ get another 3-5" to play in, that's a win), and while Tues-Wed looks good at this distance, by then my avg max is 50 so it's shoveling sand against the tide. (Though I've got an important forest research meeting in Orono Wednesday, so maybe we will get the snow from that one. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's cold with decent snow growth too. Weekend on the euro is less Bruce Willis with some N-NE flow from 925-850 in srn spots. Tough north of pike.
