I believe you need back to back blizzard within a 4 day period to officially call it Snowmageddon®©, besides isn't this "normal" for them.

slightly more normal than for us but a pretty big area of 18-24" .. i cant recall many storms that put totals like that down across almost all of ct

Their snowmageddon was Jan 2005 or Feb 1978, this may be a HECS in some parts of SNE, but this is no snowmageddon.

Yeah, bust. GFS was clearly right and even a tad high towards the end. NAM was way out of line south of SNE. I got 3.5 inches so only doubling that in NYC after seeing the radar last night is sort of terrible.

I was curious if there was a "lessons learned" about the models and what they were forecasting from this past storm and from the 12/26 storm.

SNE got boned a few times last winter. Didn't one of the big storms rain on them? They deserve one.

The "snowicane" of February 25-26th 2010. 20 inches in NYC and rain in Boston.

Around 9 inches here btw today. Excellent call from Upton for 8-12.

That's it? Still a far cry from the 32" at IAD last February..

windsor locks is in a valley and usually doesnt do as well as west and east. looks like there are a few totals right around 30". for a fast moving storm it's not bad.
