If you have snow/sleet totals please send them my way, im curious to make a map today.
Checking the PNS reports it looks like most ended up in the 2-5" range with 1-2 on the shore, a few 6" amounts in N Hfd county. Doesn't look like litchfield did well at all i only see a 2" and 3" report there.
This bad in our area, never got above 0. I dont know how much ice we have i havent measured but its gotta be over .5.
Lots of ppl without power and its only going to get worse with the temps falling and winds increasing tonight.
The Snow/Mix line is moving through the state rapidly. Looks like most towns will see 2-4" maybe 5 or 6" counting the sleet, but i doubt we see anything over that.
About going above freezing and seeing PLRN or snow amounts?
I think you're def good for 3 of 4" before the changeover.
Whether it gets >0C is the question and whether you have a few inches of concrete tomorrow or washed away by a wind driven 40+ rain event.
HRRR continues to cool slightly each and every run. The CT River Valley esp hfd north is struggling to get above 0. I don't think HFD to BDL north ever gets above 32F here on out.
Right before the storm begins i finally got a forecast done, mostly for verification at this point.
This, essentially, is the final call. Send me your snow/sleet and zr totals when its done and ill make a map for CT, thanks!
That's tomorrow? jeez great timing to discuss this storm and right before any traffic/road issues as well.
Your area looks good for 8-12 on all models it seems, pretty much.
Thermals looks the same from what ive seen so far in CT 850, 925, surface. But the QPF is cut back quite a bit compared to 12Z at the southern edge which is why those totals are cut back there.
Watches are up for all of CT now including the shore. Interesting, i thought they would leave the southern parts of the 4 southern zones out of it, but guess not.
Seems reasonable, it doesnt look like there will be a sharp snowfall gradient over CT.
Something like Nov 15 where its a solid front end thump with the mix line rapidly pushing through the state.
Biggest problem will be the ice vs. sleet locals
I would love to see some more detailed maps when they come out from WM.com...
it's a shame that wxbell no longer is supporting the UKMET, i wonder why they dropped that model, probably financing i suspect.
