Ugly 0.96" liquid, but at least the pack isn't going to go anywhere without some work. Once this freezes up, Its going to take a bit to melt it out, Its like walking on course beach sand.

I would say it's definitely a bit odd to get that bulge of heavier snows into SE MA when the coastal front tends to be sharper and NE/SW in orientation.

I am simply referring, though, to the ‘feel’ of this. It’s been snowing for 80+ hrs. Even how great 2011 and 2013 were...they were quick and the sun came out afterwards. 96 is still king for totals and duration of impact snows. This is ‘only’ 16.25” but past 3 mornings I awake to snowfall...just feels like I’m in the mountains. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I would have to look back, but I'm pretty sure that March 2018 was just as impressive, only it was more sustained because I rotted in the deformation banding. Like I said...March 2018 and April 1997 are the only two that can top that for strength and duration of rates. Monday night does get bonus points for naked twister, though...I live for the rt 128 coastal front jobs. That one was right in my wheel house and I had feeling it would be several days out, when I saw Jan 2003 pop up on the analogs...similar gradient.

SJonesWX Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 59 minutes ago, OceanStWx said: I think we were really looking at a decaying band of deformation lift north and weaken, but then a second spoke of vorticity rotated around and gave western ME a bunch of QPF yesterday. While it was sleet near the coast, it stayed all snow farther inland. thanks, that's kind of what I was thinking. but it sucks being in the middle. I feel like Jan Brady.

I am not questioning your measurement...that is reasonable. I asked because it snowed at a good clip for a few hours after 2 am. Also the 1.5 I measured at 5 PM on Monday was very light snow. The 16. 75 I measured on Tuesday morning was quite a bit heavier. And the top layer of snow was certainly a wetter and heavier snow than the lower layers of snow. Perhaps it it possible your measurement was impacted by compression of the snow as the snow got heavier and wetter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 4 Seasons Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Final snowfall totals for Feb 1-2 2021 blizzard. Made a couple new county graphics, because why not. All reports taken from here, PNS, Cocorahs and the NWS 72hr snowfall map. Most of the state ended up right in the range of 10-18" of the final call forecast with one report of +18" (19 in Danbury) and a small hole over southern Tolland and Windham counties of 6-10". Positive General 10-18" statewide verified Highest amounts in Fairfield county as noted by the text in the final call graphic Some mixing in SE CT as noted in the text in the final call graphic as well as lower end of the range Negative Small 6-10 hole over NE CT was not forecast Overall very happy with how everything went with the forecast, couldn't really ask for much better.

I didn't think it would be that bad at first, but it was close. Even lower elevations in Milton had like 8+". Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
