50 degrees with some of the densest fog I've ever seen. Vis less then 1000ft for all the wrong reasons

Best snow of the year atm. Pouring 1" flakes

Looking forward to that!

S+, vis around 1/4 mile. Temp dropped from 35 to 32 in less than 10 minutes. TWC took the rain out of the hourly. I'm hopeful for 4-5 inches but 6-7 seems within reach if this keeps up for a few hours

The nearby transformers surged a few times and then blew. Powers been out for about an hour now. Rain/ wet a$$ snow since.

We have about 8 inches here in the SE corner of CT. Lots of QPF but it's very wet and compacted. Definitely not 10:1

I was thinking similarly. The temp hit 32 around 12pm and has held since. I think with some luck we might hit 10" here

Seems about 6". Not the easiest to measure though. Beer doesn't help. What are y'all thinking for timing changeover southern RI/CT boarder? Radar has the line pretty far south still

This band is bangin. Giant flakes. Definitely hitting 2"/ hr or more right now. Gonna go on a walk and enjoy this snow while it lasts!

Eyeballing a little over 3 inches here on the westerly/ pawcatuck line. The northern edge of the band is just approaching my home, although the meat of it seems to be a bit west. We haven't seen the winds I was expecting by now, but gusts appear to be around 30-40mph. Biting my nails over this rain snow line/ timing. Temp is up to 32 now

It looks like onset has been expedited to 7pm here in Westerly, but it doesn't seem to ramp up until early morning even though current radar seems solid. Is it expect to dry up a bit when it gets here?

Crushing. Looks about 6" so far. Lots of drifts over 12. The last of the grass disappeared as soon as this band came in. It's like a time lapse watch the drifts grow

Ripping. Looks like sleet may hit my doorstep by early morning

Getting whalloped by the band coming off the block island sound atm. Tough to say with the drifting, but it could be close to 2"/hr

Pretty good rates here in Pawcatuck CT. Snow is stacking on the roads despite a heavy salt layer.

That’s possible. I saw two consecutive flashes and then a third about a minute or two later. Looked like it was coming from the south and I didn’t noticed power issues. But I haven’t seen anything since so I’m thinking you are right

lightning spotted in Newport ri.

Fun spot. I was just there last week! Looks better with snow

WWA taken down for most of ri. What’s up with that?

I’m gona hold you to that. If I get anything less it will be your fault. And your shoulder I cry on

Lol pain is my prediction too. With so much uncertainty and lack of concensus I have to go with previous trends this winter, less snow and more rain than predicted. Although you are right about the conservative forecasts. It’s really only on this forum that I see people speaking of bigger potential (8+). Everyone else seems to be keeping totals pretty small. I don’t have a strong understand of the models, but from what I recall the nam hasn’t been the worst predictor this season. Correct me if I’m wrong. And thanks a bunch for the input.

Cool. That’s more than decent relative to my 2.5” max this season

What do y’all think about Newport, RI tomorrow? Crushed or nah?

Thanks! I appreciate the advice.

I appreciate your opinion, thank you. I think you’re probably right and it’ll be a pretty easy drive home. Now the question is do I want to miss the biggest storm of the year? And how good will it be? I have no answer for that at the moment. 12 inches is worth being home for. I’m ok with missing 6 inches.
