jculligan Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Started pouring sleet here around 8:30, flipped to heavy snow with huge aggregates about 20 minutes later then has alternated between heavy sleet and heavy snow ever since. The temp had crashed down to 23F but is now back up to 25F. Very interesting conclusion to this event. Going out to measure around 10pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're in a valley where cold air sinks and gets stuck, I'm a higher elevation in Worcester County so warmed too much to get ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The higher elevations in CT were colder, we got most of our icing when you were sleeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisStraight Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Few flakes floating in the air but nothing adding up. Should look nice tomorrow with frozen ice everywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will measure in the morning but I bet I’ve had at least 2 inches since just after 8 o’clock. Looks like the back end is heading rapidly from Keane unless the secondary causes additional back building or wraparound but I doubt it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 What a night! just got back to Greenfield from Northampton. I-91 was snow covered and slow with snow and ground blizzards. Close to 1.5” new in the driveway. I’ll need to update the snow table by at least 2 inches from my morning report. Quite a stormy 24 hours. Wind is absolutely howling up high with occasional white out blowing snow. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 With regards to impact and duration, this will qualify as the biggest winter storm of the year for this area. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jculligan Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 One inch in the last hour. Storm total of 6.8 inches. Still snowing, so this will likely end up the top event of the season to date (previous was 6.9" last Saturday night/Sunday AM). It's the winter of light to moderate snow events around here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 A lot of my yard has over a foot of snow right now. Our picnic table has about 16” on it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 1 hour ago, Damage In Tolland said: Fantastic! How much icing did you get? Probably around 0.25 or so. Didn’t measure but we had the saggy tree feel around here. My landscaping sky rocket trees were leaning so had to manually take the ice off each branch so they wouldn’t topple over tonight.
