Snowcrazed71

TT is already calling next winter off lol He posted the Noah maps for the temperature outlook for December, January, February. As if that'll stick right now. I'm just ready for the warm weather for now. Until next year. Enjoy the summer you guys, let's have a nice big tropical storm come up here. See you later

Where do you see 60's? Lol. I see temps in the mid 50's for the week.. ( one met shows 60 for next Wednesday ) However, I hope that I'm wrong and the forecast I'm reading are wrong and we are in the 60s.

Well this is the heaviest snow since the storm began for us here. Everything's covered again. When it's all said and done we may have broken an inch and a half lol. A fitting in to a lackluster winter. I'm actually happy for the people to my door and west that got a dumping. It was a great store for other people around me. Next year, across fingers, should be better!

I'm at work now in West Hartford. Same here with snizzle. Isn't it supposed to pick back up and fill back in soon or are we going to stay dry slotted all day? Edit.... Now look at the radar. It seems like the hole is now starting to fill in more around the edges. My gut is within the hour. This hole will be filled in. We pray

I have to share one of the most rare and odd phenomenons I've seen. I live in a small town Plainville. I got the call at about 5:30 this morning. The schools are canceled. I went and looked outside and I saw that it was snowing mixed with rain and there wasn't really anything on the ground. I'm heading to work now. It is snowing now and starting to stick everywhere, however, the other half of town already had more snow on the ground. The rain snow line must have been on our town which is why they canceled school. They're never seen anything like that before in such a small town and it wasn't like it was a higher elevation. Anyway, it's snowing everywhere now and seems like it's going to be a snowy day

I don't know, the schools just left me a message on the phone that they paid the hard decision to cancel schools because of the snow it was reported by the bus drivers and the town starting to accumulate the roads. I think it's premature, but I guess they want to take my the safe route

I'm down here on the Farmington line in Plainville. It's 36°, and there are big snowflakes mixed in with the rain. We also have that heavy rain that moved in so I'm sure that's drawing in some of the cold air from above. You should be getting into this shortly as well

Hey man, it's coming down here too. Also 36. I'm sure now that there's some big flakes mixing in with the rain at this point.

Steadily creeping down. Now 36. Still rain

I'm somewhat envious. Probably not going to be much here. But, I'm not the valley floor either. We shall see. 13 miles west of Hartford...so, I should see something sitting just under 500'.

This is so touch and go for where we are. I just looked outside again and I could swear I saw a few cat pours mixed in with the rain. But that also could just be my eyes deceiving me for what I'd like to see lol. I'll do it one more time before bed tonight.

37 here... Still raining, but I feel like I saw a couple of cat paws. I'm up close to 500 ft, but it just could be wishful thinking at the moment lol.

Yeah, I'm down to 37 here in Plainville. I am up a little bit in elevation. I'm so curious what I'm going to wake up to. But wake up to just rain then I'll know we're not going to get much snow, but if I wake up to snow or at least a mix then I think that we can get a little pasting tomorrow

Got to say after all the insane model runs, this map seems pretty likely. You must be a meteorologist or something.. ;-)

Looking at the other convection coming out of the Great lakes diving down through Ohio, that seems to be going faster and my guess it will catch up with the low offshore and pull that in. In. It seems like it's going quicker than the one offshore in my eye

So have I, 51 myself. I've seen some strange things happen. I remember a storm when I was around 12:00 that my stepmom and I got stuck in in the Hudson valley near peekskill when she was visiting her parents. It wasn't forecasted, but we wind up getting like 8 or 9 in all at once. Crazy. It was like paste.

Ryan, I think he means for more of the areas not in the Northwest hills more towards the valley, but not quite the river itself. Some of these latest model runs are definitely showing more snow for areas even outside of the Northwest hills. Never seen anything like this.

I'm kind of surprised. I still have Hartford county at a winter storm watch. I know they're waiting to see what the model show today and if there's going to be enough cold air to bring snow down to the valley. I'm in such an odd spot right on the west side of where valley meets the hills, as I'm up on a hill about 500 ft. Looking at the latest model outputs some of the bigger guys, I think we'll see at least 6 in which should warrant a winter storm warning. This has been the toughest thing I've ever seen and the most erratic models I've ever seen in all the years of being a weather enthusiast

I'm just wondering why are these models so all over the place? And just this one model, what is the difference of the 3k over the 12k? Is one more trusting than the other. Of course the 12k would be the one of choice lol. I've never seen models this bad this close to a storm. The second thing is the storm off North Carolina forming. It really has a nice circuit. A little eye already. Is that a sign that the storm is going to consolidate more as it moves up? It's there. It's happening right now, is that a game changer?

I saw that coming late last night. It's almost impossible that the NAM model would be correct while the others aren't. To be honest, a really bothers me is these are major global models, the ones that you and most other meteorologists use to make their forecasts. Forecasts. The sad part is being dependent on these models can really screw things up for all of the meteorologists out there. I know that all of you do the best you can with the tools that you have ( and it takes a lot more than just using model runs to get your forecasts ), but it just seems this year that all the models were just horrible. All over the place. Maybe it was just the atmosphere because of the volcano early next year? Crazy.

It was over for me early this morning. So no surprise here. It's just funny what's going to happen with all those winter storm watches and warnings that are in effect....not sure the people are going to get the snow they thought they were going to get. This one's over for all of us south of the pike. Maybe the Northwest hills of Connecticut, far northwest. The rest of us just have to enjoy a couple of slushy inches. Good news is next year will be a fresh new year. I am ready for spring

You better be right... Dammit! ;-)

It's over for CT.. except NW hills. Can't see the NAM being the only one right. Next year

The hardest part of seeing this is it is not impossible to get close to this. But odds are very low to see these numbers come from fruition

I would take the middle of the road between the NAM and Ryan's Map for my area. Damn.... Talk about being on your toes and nail biting. Lol
