Yes, he does get upset when someone comes at him. But imagine having so many people coming at you all the time, you're bound to have a snapback. I've actually messaged him a couple times and told him don't let the comments get to you. Hey, I was the same way on our blog here. I would get defensive or try to defend myself or other people ( If you remember ). I've pretty much Stopped doing that because I realize people are going to do what they're going to do, and I can't control what people say or do. Anyway, I still respect him and like what he has to say. Just my thoughts

I wouldn't say you were too high for Hartford county. Maybe north and northeastern Hartford county fell just shy of 6", southwest-southern Harford county were well within the range close to the high end of that range. Great job

I've posted something on here before from this guy. His site is NEWA. I said it before and I'll say it again, I like everything he has to say and follow him. He's not like the other guys on social media. He never hypes anything and he works really hard on his forecasts. This is his outlook for January ( and has been for the last month ) LOOKING AHEAD — A QUICK NOTE TO OUR FOLLOWERS As we turn the page into January, I want to take a moment to reflect on the past few weeks. Earlier this month, I mentioned that the pattern looked colder and stormier heading into late December and early January. As me, there were plenty of opinions about whether that could be anticipated in advance — but in the end, the pattern evolved much as expected, and many locations are now sitting close to normal snowfall for December after a slow start. The training I received in meteorology is a little different from how many others were schooled. My background comes from an operational environment — the kind where most of your audience is on a Bird Farm and decisions have real-world consequences. That approach emphasizes pattern recognition, forward-leaning awareness, and mission-focused forecasting. I understand that not everyone is accustomed to that style, and that’s okay — different backgrounds produce different perspectives. What I don’t have much interest in entertaining anymore is the “Bitching Betty” routine that surfaces every time a forecast call is made. This page isn’t about arguing or defending every decision — it’s about providing meaningful guidance for the people who value the broader perspective and the work that goes into it. As we move into 2026, I’ll be honoring my commitment to continue posting here — but I’ll also be tightening the focus of what I share. You will see fewer key updates and fewer broader pattern discussions here on Facebook — those will be reserved for the Dashboard and Contractor platforms, where the full depth of my work belongs. Please understand — this isn’t a decision made out of anger. It’s simply that, after years of unnecessary bickering in the comments, I’m ready for a cleaner slate and a more constructive environment going into the new year. I want the energy I put into forecasting to go where it’s valued most. I’ll leave you with this: watch for a couple of attempts at Polar Vortex disruptions in January — likely more of the stretched-type events rather than full displacements. We’ll be tracking those signals closely on the platforms. To everyone who follows along, supports the mission, and engages in good faith — thank you. Your interest and trust are sincerely appreciated, and I look forward to navigating the new year together. — Northeast Weather Alert

Never been a fan of this guy. He usually is very warm biased, and had mentioned that for January, now he's on the suppression wagon LOL. Just don't like his forecasting. He's not consistent

Looks like Hartford county is now under a winter storm warning.

?... Still shifting north I take it.

I wonder... Would they actually upgrade the Winter weather advisory in Hartford to a winter storm warning?

Wow... So what's the Snow nap look like

Shyte!!! I mean.... I I'm ecstatic for all my peeps in Ct ( I'm gonna miss the goods ). Lol!! Figures... But oh well.... I'll be checking in while I'm gone.

You should be in a very good spot as well!! You too

A question I do have. Once this storm is over, say we have 6 in on the ground. Do we think it'll still be there after the rain Sunday night? I know the temperatures aren't supposed to get too warm. Warm. Hoping there's some snow on the ground when we get back from Canada

Maybe up until next week.... After that .... Don't agree at all.

I'll tell you what.... it's fun watching all this unfold ( even though I'm going to miss it all ) We're leaving around 3:00 in the morning tonight for Canada and we'll be back on Tuesday. So I'll miss the snow, and then I'll miss the rain ( which will be melting some of the snow away ). But my gut is not all the snow will be melted as the temperatures don't look to be super warm when it rains on Sunday night. I guess I'll see you when I get back. Hopefully they'll be something next weekend. I'm still glad to see there's a good thump of snow coming for Connecticut and all my peeps on here. I'll live vicariously through your posts.. lol

I keep looking at the national weather service to see if they're going to extend the winter storm watches more into Connecticut than just Southwest CT. I wouldn't be surprised if by later today they include at least the western half of Connecticut in the winter storm watch, maybe not Litchfield county. By the way, Merry Christmas to everyone

Let's make it up in January and February. If we can do that, December will be forgotten ( and I mean in a good way )

I generally like the map, but 4"-8" is a bit lofty.

Only to be melted by the rain the next day. What I'm hoping for with the pattern set up looking into January is that we have the cold that stays in place. That way when we do have snow events it won't melt the next day.

You lost me at Hello! (Jk)... But .....wow, do you have a way of extrapolating your thoughts. However, after reading through your very deep reasoning on people going in circles ( basically, the f definition of insanity ) , yes it makes a lot of sense.

Maybe immediately that might be the case, but everything into January is stepping down to a colder solution with flocking. I'm not saying this is the answer to our prayers LOL, but warming coming our way. Way. That's just not what's showing. Plus the warm pattern that was showing is already being squashed as it has been thus far.

Like I said, things just didn't line up properly for a lot of Southern New England. But it wasn't a total loss. Southern areas of Connecticut got a decent amount of snow at the last system. And I believe out in the cape there was a decent amount of snow from that system as well. Just wait .... We are going to do much better after the new year. The pattern is definitely shifting in that direction as a whole.

Far from over. If we keep the cold in place for January and February.... Our Snow changes go up significantly. Things aren't what we would like right now, but pattern wise, our chances look promising going into the next few months. Just let this crap pattern go for this month. Don't dwell on it.

Well, 2 weather outlets already have snow maps up. One takes the 3"-6" from the Connecticut River West, to the East of the river 2"-4"/1"-3". Another has the Southwest 1/3rd in the 3"-6", the middle chunk of the state 2"-4", and the northeastern corner 1"-3". They must feel more confident with the Euro and also the fact the models have bumped NE somewhat.

We still have tomorrow and Thursday and most of the day Friday before the system comes into the area. Most seem to be writing this off because of the southward push on the models. I'm not saying this is definitely going to come north again, but there's a good chance that it will tick back North again, and even to a point where we're all in the game. I would say if this doesn't change by Thursday evening, it's a goner.

We actually had a storm back in I think 2020 .. December I believe. We had at least a few inches of sleet during the day and later that night I remember we had thunder and lightning and everything turned to Snow.... By the next day when it stopped in the early afternoon, we had about 16 or so inches.

We'll see about the Friday/Saturday deal. The one Brooklyn is posting about is New Year's Day.
