One clipper in the mid 80s that put down a surprise 3-4 inches of currier and ives was a big deal. 86-87,87-88 and 89-90 were all solid where I was in Bristol CT but 88-89 hardly produced a foot and 84-85 was hardly 20 inches, 90-91 and 91-92 were abysmal too. Even last year we had two double digit events here in death valley, although we only had about 40 total on the season and then that strange Dec 1 event the year before that was huge so we still have not regressed that much. Double digit snows only are supposed to happen 1 in every 4 winters for BDL I enjoyed my overcast day that felt and looked like snow today, if there were a few flurries I missed them and that is just fine. That area is brutal to begin with snow-wise. Went to Umass-Amherst from 07-11 and I think the most from one storm was like 11". Usually just too far west for big coastals and temps are on par for SE Mass in that valley. They switched over so many times in light precip when I was there I cant even count. I do remember though in the late 90's and early 2000's that area getting hit hard by coastals. Seemed back then that the mean storm track was right over the Cape and from ORH west would get clobbered. The last 20 years that mean storm track has moved more towards the BM (last 2 years even further south and east) hence the constant screwjobs for the Pioneer Valley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping for a coating tonight but not holding my breath. I don’t care but I have a 10-year-old snow weenie who is chomping at the bit for first accumulating of the season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, anywhere within a mile or 2 of the river might as well have the same snow climo as Central Jersey. It's really bad being sandwiched with the Berkshires to the west (never good to have some N-S mountain chain just to the west of you) and Worcester Hills to the east. Topography has to be one of the worst in NE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Light snow started here around 4:25. Was nice walking the dog with a headlamp and having the light speed effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Mixing flakes and dots here at 37. Could CJ a bit if the CF comes through early enough. Not expecting much overall. My son called me negative and thinks over 1”. Not sure at some point back in 2012 Kevin went to my condo when I wasn’t home? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 We are probably nearing 2”. Will measure on the elevated board closer to 00z. It’s total fluff. A 15mph breeze would completely clean the SUV off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NW_of_GYX Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 eyeballing a little over 2" here. Snowed all day and still flurrying, really nice wintry appeal type event.

Sugarloaf1989 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Snow/graupel mix here with a solid dusting. 31F. I'll check my driveway later to see about accumulations on pavement. Probably with the temperature below freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Over 2 now. Nice little event. HRRR shows another burst a little later and GYX says NW flow showers could continue overnight after the low passes so 3” is in play. 17 degrees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoth Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I asked for mood flakes, and it more than delivered. Been snowing lightly all afternoon; everything at home is cloaked in white. Just beautiful. Glad to get a little taste of winter before we torch again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
