40/70 Benchmark Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Just now, Great Snow 1717 said: 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. I had 1-3" new on my driveway Tuesday AM, but I wasn't sure what was drifting and what wasn't....I called it an inch. I do know that we got at least 2" less than Wilmington because I measured 17" depth there before I drove home and measured the 15". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think it would be that bad at first, but it was close. Even lower elevations in Milton had like 8+". Crazy. Wish I had weighed that in more heavily making my forecast.

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.

Yeah i used to just use all shades of blue but it got very hard to see the towns when the colors got really dark. I figured i would parallel the colors that the NWS uses, more or less. Its easier on the eyes and makes more sense. The color gradient is generally (example): 0 white, T-2 light blue (sub advisory lvl), 2-4 blue (advisory), 4-8 yellow (low end warning) 8-12 orange (warning), 12-18 redish pink (amounts 10+, major), 18-24 purple (amounts over 15 historic/major), green 24-40+ (extreme, rare) This is Mar 2018, an example of why i changed the colors after the blue shade... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still a few tenths behind Lava Rock but at least not outside the top 25 like in December. Maine seems to lag behind its climo in most of the years that Kevin W has run the snow table. Don't think we had any sleet here, just rimed flakes that made for 2" of dense [3-4 to 1] stuff 7A-1P) before we saw real flakes. Should be good groomer food, might take the dog out to see if the local club's machine is still sitting dead on our woodlot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm usually in the top 10, Sitting well outside of it, No offense to anyone, But when you have several from CT and MA ahead of you, It tells the tale, I would have thought the club would have retrieved it by now unless it was really recent, I'm heading to Eustis Saturday over to Jackman.

Yes, We will be around the base of Coburn Mtn just skirting the Forks, Been up to the top of Coburn Mtn several times, Not this trip though as we will be pressed for time on this 220 mi+ loop, Its very scenic on a clear day as well as rimed pretty heavy @3,700'+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 For me this storm was notable for the heavy rates I had for a few hours and the wind. Ferocious in that regard. Totals were ok but not outlandish. Timing was good. Didn’t get any taint. Not a top 10 or maybe top 20 for me but fun nonetheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
