Weather / January 7 Nor'easter with photos

« on: January 07, 2022, 1123 UTC »

Well, this has turned out a bit more significant than anticipated.  I sit in a zone that was predicted to see snow accumulation of 3-5 inches by noon today.  As of 6am today, (1100 utc) we totaled 9 inches with more to come.  The past two hours have recorded snowfall rates of two inches an hour per radio reports. We have had a total of two inches of snow for the fall/winter season to date.  The Weather Channel indicated a bombogenesis situation has developed, now that's a name searching for a pirate radio station.  I have not seen the path of the storm but in interior southern New England,  we often get the worst of a Nor'easter when it tracts through 40N, 70W.

Yard shots from this morning, there is a drive way in the front yard shot between the maple and oak on left. I'm guessing deer/predator tracks visible in backyard shot.  https://imgur.com/a/IzDSUcK

update
1210 utc 10 inches
1415 utc 10.5 inches, final total
