That’s phenomenal; it was pretty well modeled for that area as ground zero. I picked NW CT as ground zero. You knew the cold would win . It usually does in these 

Yes indeed... the synoptic layout yesterday afternoon across southern Mass into and down the CT Rvr valley had a classic look of the cold holding its ground longer than most would suspect; in fact, you had mentioned the other day it had the look of something that could bleed all the way into srn New Haven County?  And it did and then some!  Very noisy evening around here with large limbs and large sections of trees snapping...  when winds ramp up I expect another period of enhanced tree damage...

I don't know ow how much snow fell at home in Gray but I saw 3-4" per stuff at Black Mountain in Rumford with 3-4'+ drifts. Several kids had to be dug out of the glades/tree wells there today. At a couple points I was chest deep. 

Had a friend ski there today and called it his best day of the year.

Really fun storm . I figured it would get to Wolcott and Bethany, but not Higganum lol. We had about half as much ice as you did . For anyone that has ice on your trees, you are going to have a loud and wild night and day ahead whenever the wind starts to rip. First hand experience

This type of airmass is hard to dislodge in February especially. You’ve had decent cryospheric build-up all winter and now you are gonna try to run this low into Canada…not gonna happen that easily. The little messenger tickles in the secondary reflection weren’t too surprising.

Agree...  pretty tough around here right now with road crews pushing trees and debris of the roads, as well as out of their trucks clearing debris while branches and trees are breaking around them...  not the safest night out there...

You and Scooter nailed that with the SE ticks . I always keep that in back of my mind on these. Doesn’t always work and last winter probably wouldn’t have . But I have learned over the years , when there’s deep snowpack to the north these very rarely warm sector very far north . If there had been bare ground to the Canadian border, this would have been much warmer outcome

The cam up on the hill in Dublin is fun because you can see the wind direction from the flag pole (camera looks SE).

All day it was pinned with winds from the east, then went limp about 90 minutes ago, and is now showing winds from the west.

And nice looking SN.
