12/19 - 12/20 Storm Discussion Thread

I was going to say this could be real. I just measured the snow on my deck and it's 24" deep. NOT a snow drift either. I'm in Essex CT just 4 miles from the coast though. Unbelievable even more snow here than the '78 blizzard.

I'm so pissed I left all my snow shoes, cross country skis, downhill skis at our place at Mount Snow.

When I measured my front porch it only shows 23.5"so that's probably more accurate. Too bad this snow can't be transported north! Even so it's the deepest snow we've ever had in my lifetime.

Not even a flurry at Mount Snow :-( A decent amount of manmade powder where the guns were running last night though

Essex, CT . South central only about 4-5 miles from the coast.

9" here in Hebron, CT. No ruler pics - camera went to Mount Snow this weekend.

9AM, 7" at the stake. Snowfall is now running 2" per hour.

Town came by our street with a Komatsu WA-250 payloader with a blade on front. Guess those pickup trucks with blades aren't gonna cut it?

Maybe I should become a meteorologist. Called this four days ago:

The prediction I'm pulling out of my butt: This will be a Yawgoo Valley Mauler.

Their website says only that snowmaking got "help from Mother Nature" but in the Snocountry feed Yawgoo reports 20-22" and radar indicates it's still snowing. On their own snow report they say they'll be open 1-5 p.m. today.

December 20, 2009 - The snow is still falling on Nashoba Valley Ski Area. The groomers went out early and moved the largest drifts to make smooth runs.

And for the record, yes I *do* understand why a feeder hill would do this. Nevertheless,

And they only got six, so it was probably drifted up in places and hard pack in others. My driveway was a good example of this. Wachusett is reporting only 2. Seems 495 is the cut-off line. Although it just picked up a bit here so we may get a couple more before this is all over.

We got about 5" here in NW Jersey. Most of the snow was east of here but it's nice powdery ligt snow.

Still snowing hard on top of almost 2 feet.

Great time for some CTBC...or RIBC. Maybe some interesting lines near you....or some LIBC. I want pics!

snow accumulation

14" so far milton, ma

 

[2knees]

about 6 or 7" at home near hartford but sundown had no more then 3" tops.

lame but skiing was still a blast. little bit of snow really makes the bumps form up nicely.

This is kinda funny, I've had a few phone calls and Emails with the exciting question, 'How much snow did you get up there?!?!' As we were never forecast to get any snow, my sad response, none.

 

[billski]

It's over.
Nine inches at the Lexington stake.

 

[billski]

Lexington is done at nine.

 

[wa-loaf]

Maybe 7. Just eyeballing haven't measured.

My parents are in Wellesley, have to call and see how much they received
