Damage In Tolland Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Absolutely roaring out there. Had a bunch of 35-40+ gusts . Running into those headwinds was not fun. Temp dropped 6 degrees in the CAA and what was wet pavement had iced up even above 32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it made Feb all that nicer. To be honest, I secretly enjoyed 18-19. It wasn’t a pack winter, but it seemed like each storm we got sort of exceeded my expectations. If that makes any sense. It started with the November snow and ended with the March bomb. Well,. sort of, but when my expected 1" event drops 2" it doesn't move the needle much. For an active February with many chances, having no double-digit storms and only one bigger than 3" is a downer, especially when I see several NNJ sites with more snow this month than I've had all season. They were talking on news this AM about how February has been below normal for temps. We in the minority because TAN is at +1.1F. Jan +4.0 Dec +3.1 Yesterday's +16 moved our average back into AN range, will probably finish avg to +1. OCT -1.5 NOV +2.0 DEC +4.3 JAN +5.6 FEB +0.6 thru yesterday Autumns with BN Oct and AN Nov almost always mean bad news for the coming winter here. Same for the much longer POR at Farmington.

DavisStraight Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I'm surprised I still have a 5-6 inch pack. Lot of ice this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrite Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Still about a 10-11" pack up here. The driveway is a glacier an inch thick too. Hopefully this weekend we can start seeing some dirt again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava Rock Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Assuming March doesn't produce anything of substance, this winter gets a D-. Way below avg sn, AN temps, no arctic outbreaks, never had a morning below 0, Jan snooze fest, porked in Feb for sn, grinch stole xmas again. The only two things I can say were decent was last ~3wks, we had good sn retention due to avg temps and dec's snow leading up to the grinch. as others have said, if it weren't for the grinch, we would have coasted through much of Jan with a decent pack otg. Pretty sad when dec produced the most amount of sn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed the Feb 1 event, and even the 12/17 event was decent, despite being screwed. Extended time with deep pack in Feb.....C- at the moment.

Cool. Oh, well....I find it hard to believe that I won't be able to sneak an inch or two in March, at some point. I'm going to fall short of 30" in Feb, but I know a lot of the area probably hit it.

The Graupler Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Havent followed weather with nothing interesting on the radar. Used to wind, but last night came as a mild shock. I woke from my edible induced sleep hearing whipping winds and my first thought was that a rogue planet had entered our solar system and the gravitational pull was enough to accelerate wind speeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
