Is this right? Beautiful to see such model consensus 3 days out. Expand Why should model consensus be any different in spring than winter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand ehhh I would think probably even 4'' would start to do so. Back in 2011, just before we had the snow event I remember Denver area getting like 3-5'' of heavy, wet snow and they had widespread power outages and tree damage...I remember this b/c after our event I think it was brought up on here and that should have been an indicator to what would happen here given we were getting double or triple those totals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCWarrior Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Not my picture but Berkshire East had this picture posted in their lodge for a long time. Powder magazine came out and spent half the day trying to get this one shot.

I'll never forget coming back down from VT the day after the storm. Got to about Springfield on 91 and saw some trees and limbs down along side the highway but got into CT and it was holy ****. Got to Hartford and it was a disaster. I think I took like 100 storm photos from that. Side street near my house was completely covered with leaves and limbs...looked like a tornado went down the street. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Tough time of year to get snow down to the valley floor and coast, I would still favor foothills on NW here and elevated areas above 1,500' in NH-VT down to the Berks in MA and NW CT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 SW VT on the NY border right under where the fronto is. Somewhere...someone is going to get crushed.
