I haven't measured again since the 5 inches we had last time..I'll wait till it's over..Kids are up and I'm getting them breakfast. I'm guessing I'll end up with 7 maybe 8

That seems high to me...Union had 3.7" as of an hour ago...but we'll see what he says when its all done...he is very good. He was complaining to me about the dryslot earlier, lol.

He has always come in under the Stafford Springs total when they go obscene.

How come you just edited your post about the ruler and beers? Is it because it would mean you'd actually have to COME to a GTG?

Legal reasons, if I bought you a bunch of beers and something bad happens....that's why I edited it. Offer stands though, and yes I will be at the next GTG hopefully, with a new ruler and digital camera for you.

agreed...I'm 5-7 miles NW of there and I haven't anything but steady small flakes. Looks like about 3-3.5". agree on the CF enhancement. The last 30 minutes of so has been the heaviest since daylight.

I hope it can keep snow at least until school would have started. I think the kids will be sleding under bluebird skies by 11.....JMHO

Nice little storm though to cover up all the gross brown snow on the sides of the roads.

I think the heavier echoes will abate in a couple hours but we should see off an on light snows till mid afternoon. Back edge of the precip is hitting I-91 in CT now.

We had about 2"/hour before and its even heavier right now. Too bad the back edge is flying, but even so I will get over 6" possibly 7-8".

I cant keep up with it...I bet I have 5.5" and pushing 6"...the flakes are huge and accumulating rapidly.

Yup no way i make 8 with the snow getting ready to stop in the next hour.. I'm just glad I have another Tolland poster to verify my totals..and Ryan's station also has 2 wx watchers from Tolland to back me up to and one is at 1,000 feet.

Just about to leave....HEAVY snow...good dendrites....if we can hold on for a few hours we might come up close to 8 or so...

I think up here we get around 6, really nice snowfall, almost no wind. Really deep pack right now.

OT - Jerry, snowed everywhere I flew on this trip, Chicago then Omaha. Flight delays everywhere. Omaha had 3" yesterday and it was mass chaos on the roads. My rental care with baloney skin tires didn't help much.

Snow growth is very banding-dependent with this one. Doesn't matter if temps aloft are perfect if there's meager lift, which is basically what we're seeing for most, except those that are in the heavier bands toward eastern MA where there's locally strong omega.

I am 2 miles west of 91 and it is still ripping here. Visibilities have come up slightly
