CT Valley Snowman

27.6 here. I Like Ginx area and for 6-7. Probably 3" here and 4.5 on the Massif

Virga here

Reggie is no better than 18z, only about .20 precip back this way.

I was in Bridgeport city proper yesterday and I was surprised at how much snow had melted. The piles and banks in certain areas were impressive, and you could tell it snowed a lot, but the solid cover is greater here even though they had like six or seven inches more during the storm.

GFS definitely a little tamer, flatter. Advisory amounts for most outside the SE zones.

I'm not feeling some of the 7" reports near here and the 5" in East Windsor while 12" was the BDL total and Springfield was general 10-11. Something seems off.

Icon is a wound up hugger, decent front end thump for interior SNE.

I'm so used to not jacking here that I've somewhat excepted climo. I'm in a valley so I miss out on any elevation driven events. I'm too far north in the valley and more vulnerable to shadowing than say a place like Middletown, but also a bit too far south to jack in most SWFE or the latitude driven " North of the Pike" events. Usually a Kevin to ORH axis outperforms here as well as The NW HILLS to Berks. My seasonal totals average better than the S Coast and parts of SE Mass as I get close to 50", but I usually get outperformed in big events, with the exception of a very rare banding situation like back in 2001 and even last December when I was close to 18" , pretty much a jack for the state of CT. But hell yeah, I'm still rooting for it and get pretty excited on the rare occasion that it does happen. Makes me savor it even more.

3" from 1/26 10.5" current storm 31.4" Season

Relative min at 10.5 but good storm. Certainly looks wintry out there.

8" here. Mod snow.

7 here as well. Just SW doing better but double digits seems attainable.

Yeah it's fluctuating in the snow growth category here dumping pretty good right now again but I see another sub zone coming up through tolland county.

Struggling here for the past hour or more despite the radar presentation. I have a feeling I'm getting shadowed. 6.5"

Lightened up here. Steady light to moderate.

Pounding now

Snow has been increasing from steady light to moderate here over the last couple hours but we have yet to go heavy. 25.

Steady light snow 19.6. HRRR and RAP and RGEM do look pretty sweet around here with a less pronounced sucker hole. Ratios should be pretty nice with the cold temps to start the storm as well.

The dry slot on some of the modeling is just plain nasty in the valley. I'm definitely low confidence here. Nothing would shock me.

Reggie hit the crack pipe for sure. That's nuts.

3km Nam here . About 4". Hellacious dry slot.

That is a toaster bath here.

Still don't like how there's a heavier precip signal down in the Mid-Atlantic up into New York City and then a secondary across eastern MA. Seems like interior Connecticut into Western /Central Mass is prone to more dry slotting, or sort of in- between two areas of greater forcing, combine that with the downsloping wind into the valley and I'm concerned this could be a rather modest event around these parts. Hopefully I'm wrong and the WCB really pounds and we get some consistent decent banding after that and not a shredded mess.

Nice looking storm but could have somewhat of a CTRV shadow.

Actually 1316', NW side of Union close to Stafford. Never been there before I might need to check it out.
