  1. Still mainly fatties with a few pellets. As interesting as it is to watch, I'd rather have that perfectly pilling up Currier and Ives fluff we were having before we started doing the tango with the mixing line which has somewhat compacted things and slowed down the accumulation rate some but still nice to look at. Edit:. All snow again for the time and quite heavy.
  2. Haven't heard the sleet pounding the windows yet but it's coming
  3. Like I said earlier, I would rather the front end overperform before we mix or slot. I don't trust backside snow filling back in as the bands tend to pivot and rot and weaken in the valley.
  4. Win the tourney and bring the trophy, good vibe, and 12+ snow amounts back home with you. Hopefully we do get a couple of SE ticks at showtime.
  5. I'm leary of backside snow, especially here in the valley. I feel like I consistently see bands of snow over the western hills that rot there and pivot and than weaken as they push eastward as a system is occluding and weakening. Sometimes the band reforms over the Massif or the eastern hills. I'd rather take my chances on CAD and my lattitude in the valley for a longer front end thumping or a slower mixing process.
  6. I think there's a W to E component as well. NW CT Litchfield county hills 9-12+ up near the Ma line while the rest of N CT is more like 6-10, I would go 4-8 more in Central CT near I- 84 but that's splitting hairs.
  7. Goofus looked a bit better/ colder here. Expecting 6-10 range depending on mixing, backside banding etc as this area seems to be "riding the line" so to speak with the mixing /rain and dry slotting issues that are more pronounced and prolonged the further SE you go in the region.
  8. Could this type of setup cause a more pronounced shadowing effect in the CT River Valley?
  9. GEFS at 06z Monday, a nice look for south of the Pike especially.
  10. I agree to a certain extent but weight and body frame is a definite big factor.
  11. I'd take a mix ending as accumlating snow and run for Dec 1st. Would rather whiff than all wet.
  12. I like you're interior. Looks cozy Lots of windows. A snow weenies dream.
  13. There was rain mixed with cat paws and sleet in my neighborhood but no accumulation. The radar returns were heaviest on the eastern edge of town where you live and you have an extra 100 feet or so of elevation.
  14. PWS on Old Post Road Tolland at 908 ft is 33.6 and Kevin is a bit higher with a nice band pivoting right over head. Would think he should at least coat up nicely on grassy surfaces.
  15. mainly rain and sleet with occassional paws here and 37.
  16. There's a few cat paws with the heaviest returns. Sucks there isn't more cold air to tap into. Even where it's snowing in the Berks it's just above freezing in most places below 1500 feet.
  17. Definitely a few flakes mixed in as well with the sleet/ rain and 36.3
  18. The WWA in your location may be more for the mix/icing potential overnight as it ends at 8 AM. The best chance for a few inches there would be the backside flip if it in fact happens. Hopefully you guys and the Berks can pull off something.
  19. Nice track, garbage thermals is the theme.
  20. Maybe a bit more but not more than 3". Regardless it was a tough storm to watch being so close to the goods.
  21. Thanks for the reminder with that map. Definitely some banding features and a somewhat more diagnol distribution.
  22. I doubt he got 12, probably 7-10. Had to be pretty close to the shore to get 12 in CT from that one. I got 3 near the Mass line I believe.
  23. That storm had a ridiculous cut off as you went inland, portions of northwestern Connecticut got completely blanked.
