Collinsville Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 There's been a persistent imaginary wall just South of here, the greens on the radar won't go past it. Wind is out of the North, I wonder if that is banking in dryer air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monroe Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 9", about 1.5" new in 20 minutes and still going strong...best surprise event of my life so far Looks like closing in on a foot. BTW do you remember a Dec 8 storm 5-6 years ago? We got like 10 with nothing in the city and nothing NE. I just remember date as it was a b-day I was suppose to got to.

ski MRG Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 22/19, back to snow after an extended period of pixie dust. Congrats to Box so far as the timing/amounts have been on the money here. Additional 4-6" looks like a good call based on current radar trends. Spoke to my Mom in the Hudson Valley and she reports about 7" and sn+. Also congrats to all SW Conn weenies. I love how happy snow makes people young and old. Big Winter incoming, big big Winter. Any doubters left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiator Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 It looks like the big action on the radar is a bit East of me now, but I've got nothing coming down here. Currently 29.1 F, total accumulation looks like 6.5" for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
