The official snow total for the blizzard as measured by @RussellRuss7 at the NWS Co-Op weather station Norfolk 2SW was 14.2 inches. Certainly no record in the #iceboxofct but still impressive. @NWSAlbany

[Russell Russ @RussellRuss7]

Snowfall NW CT: Norfolk 13.5”, 1.47” melted. Colebrook (9 miles east) 15.2”, 1.70” melt. Basically 9:1 ratio. Drifting made measuring DIFFICULT, must take average. @NWSAlbany @RachelFrank_CT @gilsimmons @ryanhanrahan @jillgilardi @NorfolkPIO1 @DHTheWeatherNut @Eweather13

@denisrmiller @StormFurey @bobmaxon @bobcox98 @gilsimmons @RachelFrank_CT Only -1 up in Norfolk Wednesday morning. Low elevations get the prize this time.

@bobmaxon Real slick in NW CT Hills. Most roads treated & ok, but decks, sidewalks, driveways are bad. Flipping between fz. rain & snow in Norfolk since 8am. Only 0.15” melted precip, but 0.1” ice accretion on flats. 32 deg. @NWSAlbany @DHTheWeatherNut @NorfolkPIO1

[Russell Russ @RussellRuss7]

@DHTheWeatherNut Light flurries & snow showers in Colebrook, CT / very southern Berkshire’s @ 3:00-3:30 pm

[Russell Russ @RussellRuss7]

@bobmaxon Pretty hard to measure that snow depth!

[Russell Russ @RussellRuss7]

Norfolk 2.7”, 0.15” melted. About same amount in Colebrook. Difficult to measure with very light dry snow & blowing/drifting. Low of 14 deg, 25-30 mph gusts, wind chill -1. Happy Snowy Cold New Year. @NWSAlbany @bobmaxon @RachelFrank_CT @jillgilardi @gilsimmons @DHTheWeatherNut

[Russell Russ @RussellRuss7]

@ryanhanrahan Going with 2.7”, 0.15” melted for Norfolk 2SW NWS Coop Station. That’s 18:1. Extremely difficult to get good snowfall measurement due to wind/drifting. Took multiple measurements for depth. About same in Colebrook. Happy Snowy & Cold New Year.

[Russell Russ @RussellRuss7]

Norfolk,CT snow total: 6.2”, 0.66” melted. Colebrook 6.0”. @gilsimmons @jillgilardi @wx_alexis @RachelFrank_CT @NWSAlbany @DHTheWeatherNut @NorfolkPIO1

[Russell Russ @RussellRuss7]

@ryanhanrahan Absolutely whiteout in Norfolk 6:30-7:30pm. 1.2” as of 7:00pm. Could be nearly 1.5” by time it stops @ 8:00.
Even saw several flashes of lighting 7:25-7:35pm. @NorfolkPIO1

[Russell Russ @RussellRuss7]

@wx_alexis @NBCConnecticut 8:00 am observations: Norfolk 2.2”, Colebrook 1.2”. Lt.Snow continued 8:00-11:00 am. Colebrook 11:00 am 1.4” & Norfolk likely 2.4”. @NWSAlbany

@ryanhanrahan @NBCConnecticut Congratulations on the 20 years!

@Lclimateguy November 0.6”, December 4.9”, Total season so far 5.5”. Considerably below average.

[Russell Russ @RussellRuss7]

Norfolk, CT, Dec 5 low air temp of -1. This ties the 1935 record low for this date. Daily obs began in 1932 at this NWS Coop Weather Sta. Not much wind, so wind chills not too bad. @NWSAlbany @bobmaxon @RachelFrank_CT @gilsimmons @jillgilardi @DHTheWeatherNut @NorfolkPIO1

[Russell Russ @RussellRuss7]

@RachelFrank_CT Bingo. 8pm weak grand finale in NW Hills….

[Russell Russ @RussellRuss7]

Norfolk,CT 1400’ at 3pm has switched to snow/rain mix. 32 deg. 4.5” max before switch. Wet snow & some rain will shrink snow depth now. Back to all snow later? @NWSAlbany @bobmaxon @RachelFrank_CT @gilsimmons @jillgilardi @DHTheWeatherNut @NorfolkPIO1 @GreatMtnForest

[Russell Russ @RussellRuss7]

@RachelFrank_CT I see the radar now! We’ll see if it hits me. I’m in Colebrook now….
