Well the snow has passed and overall it was a little disappointing up here in Connecticut.  Snow totals ranged from 2-4 inches around Bridgeport, 4-6 in my neighborhood (Shelton, CT) to 9-12 from Stamford, Greenwich down into NYC.  Actually I may have closer to 7 inches…I measured 4 last night at 6pm, but we received another 2-3 inches overnight…either way still 4-5 inches under my expectations.   But the southern parts of NYC into New Jersey got hammered pretty good with anywhere from 12-17 inches reported.

It really did come down to a matter of the coastal low remaining 20-30 miles further south than models were forecasting, which kept the heavy snow band over Long Island, extreme southwestern CT in New Jersey.  This combined with drier air further north in Connecticut resulted in a dramatic decrease in snow accumulation once you reached outside of the I-95/Fairfield county line in southwestern CT.

But poor D.C. saw another foot of snow….those guys can’t seem to catch a break!

On the bright side I had fun making another snowman.  Tonight I should write Stormgasm.com on a white t-shirt and put it on him! Oh boy…..I haven’t slept well this week…..that’s all for now.
