CT Valley Snowman

About 3.75". Steady light to moderate accumulating snow here just north of the heavy band.

I think we get 2-4.

Some of the mesos are pretty paltry, especially further west back this way. Hopefully you're right.  Earlier today we were headed to the buffet and now we're just hoping for scraps.  

Not really feeling good about things up here 2 miles from the mass border in CT.  Hopefully those further south cash in with at least a decent period of snow.  

Still a relatively torchy 39 here in the valley.  

Box dropped the wind gusts to 38 mph here and 40 for Tolland in their point and clicks for tonight.  

8" here.  9.8"at BDL. Very solid storm.

Well we’ve lost the paster we were hoping for. Temps running quite a bit colder than modeled . Probably bodes well for those on the line to the south and also tips the cap towards colder solutions.

33.7 here in the valley, we'll get the paste, you'll get better ratios. Hoping we don't get marginal rates with borderline temps and shadow on the east flow and end up with like 4-6". If I honestly had to give a number for here, I'd probably go with 5".  

Meanwhile 56 here, 57 at BDL and HFD we torch.  

Berks are roasting on that map.  77 at Pittsfield and 79 at North Adams for 6 hour max temps.  Mainly low 70s here in the valley with a 75 at BDL.  

Low of 32.7 at a nearby PWS.  Close bur no cigar.  

.91 at a nearby PWS.  Another wet day. 

Several nearby PWS are in the 15-16" range for July after yesterday's 3".  A drier pattern would be welcomed.  

Stormy soaker of an afternoon here.  Several nearby PWS are between 2.75 and 3.25.

Stormy afternoon here.  Several close CTG strikes, heavy rain and some flooded roads. 

Seeing some flashes of lightning to the NW here.  

4.2 

3.8 here. Pretty much all of it fell last night.  Today has been either dry slot or non accumulating snow. There was a gradient across town based on latitude/ longitude. The further N/W you were the more snow you got. A couple of people reported 5 on the town forum, meanwhile my wife was down on the SE corner of town near Ellington on her way to Manchester this afternoon and said the ground was bare.  

3-4" of cement caked on everything.  Glad I grabbed that to at least look wintry. Ugly dry slot combined with daylight should keep additional accumulations down around here.   

39 and rain here.  Couple of inches of slush is what I'm expecting here in the valley.  Anything more and I'd be pleasantly surprised.  Getting completely shutout would be a disappointment but not a complete shocker.  Keeping expectations low in marginal situations is usually the best bet speaking from years of living here. Maybe the heavy banding works out perfectly and washes out the boundary layer warmth and we avoid any dry slotting.  That's the only hope for something bigger.  

Rap is awful south of the Pike.

Funny,  Bob Cox who's usually super conservative is going with 6-12 valley north of Hartford, 3-6 south and 1-2 feet for the western hill towns... YMMV

I just listened to Bob Cox on WTIC and he went with with 1-6 from Springfield to New Haven in the valley.  

42 here, lol.  

 2.75 here.  Clearing the driveway was a pita with all the slush at the end.  

lame here.  Had some light non accumulating snow that changed to light rain and 33.
