It’s absolutely insane here right now. Near zero visibility.

Low of 22, high of 51. Lots of melting. Back in the freezer tomorrow.

Flurries here

Nah, no JP fetish here....I am good with 2". Just planning on a refresher, and anything else is gravy.

"I WANT MORE!!!!" LOL.

Meh, what else is new.

That’s corroborated by the ASOS.

Yeah was thinking 3-6 here. Hate that range but definitely uncertainty there.

Weatherbug was showing a couple strikes near New Castle earlier.

Light snow of varying rates and flake size has just about ended here. Lots of sparkly flakes while it was snowing. Enough for a coating, just shy of 0.3" total, very enjoyable being outside with the kettle fire. 26F currently. Skeptical about anything later but you never know!

Not the worst spot to be before an IVT/norlun…playing naked twister with the max interior banding. But obviously these are fickle so you gotta keep expectations low.

Absolute blizzard conditions. Heaviest snow of the winter

I know what CoastalWx is thinking now w/ the 00z HRRR -- March 8-9, 2013! Not quite the 600 mi SE of ACK the sfc low was then, but it still 300 mi! 30" at MQE in the 2013 event. One of biggest modern day fcst busts here for snow! The 500 low elongation axis is now just W of the region, and the low cuts off a decent distance S of LI on some models. So a weenie pseudo "backlash" OES combo appears likely.

All I can think when I see this is "This fog's as thick as peanut butter! Hermey: You mean pea soup. Yukon Cornelius: You eat what you like, and I'll eat what I like!

Looks like the NAMs are just to my west now as opposed to just to my east the last couple of runs.

Prob good for 2-4” eastern CT, 1-3” western (the higher side prob being Litchfield county)….might go a little higher near Ginxy and towns near RI. ORH to BOS is 3-6” but obviously someone is gonna get a surprise. Favoring Essex county and then maybe someone down near S RI. Might have to watch south shore too. It’s a really difficult forecast….inverted trough/Norluns probably have the largest bust potential of any snow event as forecasters.

Now if we get one more storm to push central park above average, then this will be a pretty good winter. Even if we get to average snowfall I wouldn’t say this is an average winter because the duration of the very cold air is definitely impressive. We have one month to go, maybe we can get in 1 more?

Fixed it

I guess KUCP (New Castle) had a thundersnow obs at 9:01.

Yeah, I’ve had off and on flurrying the past hour +. 28f. … 27 now actually. No coating yet, very sparse / intermittent.

Any more other than those couple strikes near Youngstown?

Snowing lightly. Guess it started a bit ago as cars and many surfaces have light coating. Temp has dropped to 27F.

Yes, read some studies how some need to be slow zero before they start to die off. Snow and ice insulate well. But with the last few winters some pushed quite far north.

Oh gotcha! Yeah, looking closer -- there's some nice mid-level DPVA superimposed over that surface front with the left exit region of that jet streak nosing in aloft. Good spot for something to happen. Hope it makes it down to at least our northwestern folks. Been a while since we've had a good arctic front driven snow squall.

I have about 3.5” just shoveled but coming down still-was advisory for 2-6….be surprised if we get another 2.5-3”….
