We have been spoiled. Getting a 12-18" blizzard every year becomes expected rather than the rare event it is. The 2010s were truly amazing. I'd say better than the 2000s.
The late 90s were horrendous. IMO this is the worst stretch since 96-97 through 99-00.
Looks pretty bad to me..especially in windy hill towns. Snow covered roads are snow covered roads whether its 0.5, 1 or 3". Heard reports of lots of accidents this morning in this general area. Just my opinion
Most of the heavier returns were in New Haven, Fairfield counties this morning so i'm not surprised roads were just wet up there. Do you have any accumulation at all in Burlington?
Your Icon came way back N. Looks terrible verbatim for NYC which is why im assuming you didn't post it but a big hit for CT. Either way id rather have it trend in that direction than S again. Not that it means much coming from the Icon.
This seems like a highly volatile situation and anomalous storm track. I don't recall any storms in the past that tracked like this giving a region wide warning event. I tried to look at CIPS but it seems they stopped running models on 12/18 for some reason.
OKX going with categorical "Snow." 80% pops for Friday, seems a little aggressive. Given the wild swings the past 24 hours. Hopefully some agreement tonight/tom and stability in runs.

Last big one in the historic storms section due to the swath of 12-16" it left. That was the most recent 12"+ storm in CT. Unfortunately nothing last season. In fact, all of SNE managed to go a whole winter season without a 12"+ event.
yea thats what i figured. i've seen a few weird ones like this in the past, and i remember one in November one time that was sub-advisory 1-3" but they put one out because it was the first one of the season, and it was right at rush hour.
