The Little Storm That Could - March 3/4

Heh... this was too well advertised and also empirically too larger in scale to fit with the 'little critter' concept -  Bozart et. al. 

unless you just meant that for colloquialism 

 

That's funny. I was indeed speaking colloquially, but clearly I must have had some shadow of you bounding around in my subconscious to choose that particular turn of phrase.

It's compacted to about 4" or 4.5" of waterlogged cement now after it rained/sleeted around 4am. Went out around 2am and it was a solid 5.5-6" before it changed over. Roads are mostly wet though. Glad I didn't have to drive to Foxboro today for a meeting where the roads must be a lot worse

I would say there was 8 on the ground in Trumbull when I shoveled at like 7. It was above the rise of the steps (which is 7.5 ") by a bit so I am going to go with 8 inches at 7 AM.

The 8 lines up with me in Easton perfectly.

Too bad this is probably the last storm. We will finish the year below average for 5th time this century.

I know from the 7AM snow reports from Burlington, MA got 13.4", Reading 13.0" (Ryan). So I'm not sure if we can squeezed out another inch until the  storm end but we'll see.  It's absolutely awsome that the heart of our viewing area got nailed like this.  This is what the winter should have been like starting December 3-4th instead of March 3-4th.:snowing:

yeah, wife said looks great out there..

Yeah a perfect night of slop snow, sleet and rain all combined for a total accumulation of coating of snow.  Our best storm so far this season is 4" of snow.

Same here, no good events all season, but you kind of have to expect a year like this every once in a while given where we live, adjust your expectations, be aware that rain and underperformance is a risk, that jacking is almost impossible on a good hit, and just take it for what it is.  

The thing that makes me really feel like this was a winter that wasn't in some ways, is that there was no real noreaster, no wind, no real storm.  Just moisture and flow and some entertaining thermal battle.

That was the alpha omega of all thumps.  Wow to those just N of me.  I did better then expected.  Gonna go with 9".  That was some of the densest snow I've had to deal with at that depth.  Snowblower ran out of gas 1/2 way thru the driveway.  Maganges to get the street and the big areas done before.  Still was a pain in the ass.

Sick morning posts weenies. Congrats.

5.25” since 1am

13.75” total

13" was a common measurement around the property, which was backed up by the snowboard measurements....mostly dense stuff, pretty tough to shovel, but a great workout. Now the melting begin....32.5°/29° - Newtown, CT

Curious to see what the fake BOS final will be; the FAA reported just over a foot on the field on calls this morning.

That foot that was on the field (My uncle is airport manager there) probably is the truth at the waters edge before any settling. So yes, the 12" amount is probably the truth but will the official books call it? We'll see.
