Ripped a lot of trees and branches down I wasn’t here yet. Was still in NJ till 79. I often wonder how much there was here. My guess is something similar to Foxboro . Maybe Will would know ?

My guess is something similar to Foxboro . Maybe Will would know ? Hard to say as I didn't have any good data from NE CT when I made the May '77 map. I only had the Storrs coop which is lower elevation. I even checked old newspapers back then when I made the map. My guess is Tolland probably at least got warning snowfall....but hard to say whether it was 6" or 10". Most of CT south of about HFD didn't report measurable, so there was definitely less cooling as you headed south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was figuring if the Litchfield hills had that much then there must have been a solid 8-10” here up to Union Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Still looks similar to last night I think. They'll be a narrow area where it comes down good, and then we'll see if it can wrap up with a little mid level magic to end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The EPS is still pretty cold, so I'm not sure how much this can go north? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a pretty sweet look in the midlevels. Only limiting factor might be that the tail end is during the daylight hours so it will be fighting the April 18th sun angle.

My handwritten notes said 4 inches in the valley and 6 at elevation. Melted as fast as it fell which is probably why it didn't get recorded 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Yeah, NAM is still pretty torchy for CT/RI/SE MA....it is the northern outlier, but it has been fairly stubborn...it's not quite as far north as yesterday, but it is a little warmer than the 06z run, so no continued south trend. We'll see what the RGEM says in a bit. That's an impressive look though...really good fronto for the pike region and even up toward the NH border.

I always hate when nam is stubborn like this with the best mid level placement. It usually has a knack for being the first to pick up on the exact placement. That being said, the euro has be real steady with this for the last 3-4 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
