I think of Woodstock, CT when I think of rock walls. They border like every property. I am surprised I didn't think of that. The rockwalls were one of the first things I noticed when I moved up here, they are everywhere! They definitely made me feel like I was in New England, especially once you get north of 84, into Roxbury/Bridgewater area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially the heavily wooded areas. Lots of old time NE there. Reminds me of the Metrowest suburbs around here, just with bigger homes there. Idk, maybe it's all the rockwalls 35 minutes ago, RUNNAWAYICEBERG said: It’s a new england vibe from architecture, culture, topography, and climate but geographically I still consider us a far northern burb of nyc. Danbury has a big population that works in the city and being in the same nws coverage area or a NYC sports fan also causes me to lean my thinking a bit more. But, it’s close imo. 7 minutes ago, Minenfeld! said: Yeah we're like 40-45" average yearly. It's definitely New England, but it feels different than the rest of the state. At least to me. And the commuter patterns include the city and NY transplants. NYC Metro includes Fairfield County and sometimes New Haven County in the more ambitious maps. Definitely hybridized around here...SWSNE, maybe we need our own subforum? Sorry to further derail the February discussion, back to the weather....

First bona fide wintry week Wednesday on in quite awhile on the way. Good call - paving should not be done this time of year unless it is an emergency. I have been a pavement materials engineer for just about 25 years and rarely does anything good come from work done this time of year. Unlike concrete, there are very few things that can be done with asphalt to make it work this time of year. Now back to this week's weather mashup - with what will hopefully be a better outcome! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea asphalt paving is one part of my business....we usually stop all residential work by November as temps drop, too difficult if not impossible to do a quality job especially in a residential situation where the finish is key. Commercial work is different as it is usually two course so the first layer can be put down in less then perfect conditions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sey-Mour Snow Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 1 hour ago, tamarack said: That's about the same snow as sites in the Jersey Highlands 25-50 miles west of NYC, but many of that area's residents work much closer to Gotham, so culturally the vibe is NYC/Jersey. I live in this area and the weather is much different than the NYC metro,. The Danbury area averages much more snowfall that 25-50 miles West of NYC.. This is the map from NWS UPTON NY, seasonal snowfall average. You have to go well north and west of the city 75+ miles to get the same snow climo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 ICON always does this… Notice the big gap opening up over Western mass eastern New York north or south eastern PA at 120 hours? That whole region in there is cold air dammed and it’s like the model can’t resolve that so it splits the QPF in half and kind of mangles the low in that region.
