Tracking either the biggest storm to affect at a regional scale since perhaps 2013 ... or, a complete whiff. Pick-em'

This threat is over. But, not giving up hope for the rest of the Winter. Of course... There's always next Winter...

I’m thinking more of where Jay is, where people are. 

Most of tolland isn't at 1k elevation either

Yea mostly a valley town for sure. It doesn’t elevate until you get to west simsbury.

Pretty high overall

Yeah the center of town is like 600ish. I'd agree they get more than downtown simsbury. But I wouldn't be surprised if the weenie spots in simsbury were really weenieish.

[CoastalWx]

This pattern is terrible. 

[JC-CT]

Also it's a bunch of rich people with huge houses lol Just a random fyi

[CT Valley Snowman]

I would think the valley floor in Simsbury is probably in the low to maybe mid 50's.

you think 65 to 75 up this way?

You have to be more than that

[JC-CT]

Imagine living here and also getting like 80 inches of snow a year

Big gradient across the Simsbury / Granby and adjacent areas.  Northwest to Southeast gradient as you head from northeastern Litchfield county southeast across Simsbury into western edge of the Farmington Valley.

Exactly.  Western and Northern parts of Simsbury can have 6 inches in a borderline system and east by Tarrifville and south by Avon can have 2. Lots of experience in this area over the years with snow plowing accounts. And CoastalWx,  it is 65 average in most of the town,  some have said 70 but I wouldn't

More than 65 for sure.

They definitely avg less. No way Kevin averages less.

I disagree. I've seen many times over the years where from BDL east get shut out in marginal storms, even at some elevation. If you look at a topo map, there's a ridge on the extreme east side of town. That's a big dividing line in most storms, even non marginal ones

It’s definitely less on average. A lot of that town,  most is under 400’. I know Will would agree. It’s not 65 on avg. BDL is what like 50 or 51? It’s not that much more on avg.

I'd think his area is upwards close to 90. When I lived in North Brookfield years ago we did well there also

Violently disagree to the point of shaking you. Even Will said Kevin’s area to Union is the best area east of Litchfield county.

It is definitely not 90.

Actually it is quite different than BDL. Always has been. Strange gradient area... been observing since 1977

[CoastalWx]

Those areas like Ashby are probably 80-83 and max in that area.

Yeah I don't know that area at all really. Want would you say,  like 75?

Arguing snow avgs, We've hit an all time low.

Gotta love winter in New England: more talk about climo snowfall of yore and white asbestos flakes from abandoned buildings falling across cold and dry landscapes than actual snow. 

Well, winter sucks saggy ass again...nothing else to talk about.

It depends on elevation and if he’s towards the west side, where it’s a little bit away from the spine of the hills. Where Ineedsnow is a good solid 75-77 maybe?

Sorry, I know my area well. We've had many storms many years where BDL has basically nada, and we're plowing roads over the ridge
