CT Valley Snowman

I thought yesterday pretty much performed as expected. Slight risk over central and western areas where there were some warned cells and a few towns got hit hard while most of us did not. It's just not easy to get widespread severe around here. Most of the time, you just need to get lucky.

Probably off to a slow start and not expecting a very good retention year given the high probability of warmer temp anomalies, but I think we have our chances. And there could be a couple of big boys that help out with the snowfall anomolies, even in a overall hostile regime. That's my early take.

Man, looking at damage reports, parts of Springfield metro got hit hard. Uneventful day for most but certainly not for all.

Parents reported strong winds, hail, trees and wires down and no power Tiffany st. southern Springfield near Longmeadow line.

Looks like DIT got the precision screw job again.

Just a typical garden variety storm here.

Not sure why on the warning in HFD county.

I"ll trade the lightning for some big winds.

Probably wagons north and south and west and basically anywhere but here,lol.

PSF area/ western berks should be getting some action soon.

AI says normal is only like 18-20 at BDL which may be a bit low. At least thats one thing we can hang our hats on here in this pit, hitting 90 more than anyone else in the region.

I am pleased with the overall storm development thus far to our west, and timing seems a bit quicker than yesterday. Unfortunately, there is a gap between the more northern and southern cluster of storms which seems to be lining up with this area. Hopefully that fills in and we see more additional activity develop. Not expecting any sort of major outbreak, but a few severe storms are certainly possible, mainly in the central and western portions of SNE. .

Some decent thunder and flashes at times but still pretty meh overall here.

Around 90 here in the CTRV at 1 PM and dewy. Dog days baby.

Yeah storms looks solid up there.
