Well these are the totals as of around 6 AM. There are bands of snow though stuck across connecticut, so some of these are even higher!!!! How'd my forecast go? Well not too hot in the NYC, Philly areas where I was expecting more snow. Last report I heard Philly got 5 or 6 inches which would be in my range so you can't call me on that one I said 5-8 inches would fall, and in NYC yes I was off, my forecast of 8-12 wasn't quite correct, but wasn't far off. Last checked NYC had around 7 inches, so about an inch off. NOW, my backyard... A DIFFERENT STORY!!!! From my window I look and thought to myself, yeah probably about 8 inches or a foot of snow... And then thought to myself how maybe my snow totals would just make it into the bottom range... WRONG! First of all when I went online and learned 15 inches of snow was recorded I was shocked, and then I went to my backyard to find 18 inches of snow!!!! And still some good snow coming down... Hmmmm let me see... Did anyone else say 16-20 inches of snow for Fairfield county? NOOO... Just me!!!! Not to brag or anything, but I think I got it right on the dot! As for other portions of Fairfield county, I've heard up to 2 feet, so no one can be complaining to me the I hyped anything... Walking outside it was up to my knee's, and not to mention well well well over my little dogs head who had to be carried houses away to just go to the bathroom... I think for my town, 18-20 inches of snow is a good bet for a total!!!!
