That is a really awesome link with major CT storm history going back 25 years. This firehose storm had to be one of the craziest gradients I’ve seen going from a couple inches to a couple feet in such a short distance.  2013 was amazing. 
 
 

Looks like the heaviest echos of the night are actually developing in SW CT. Should be all snow based on CC

this may be true ...but what in the moment exactly triggered this statement

You’re a little NE of me. It’s gonna be close for me. I think you’re in a good spot for this but I will say it is snowing pretty hard down at the beach right now


.

There's an awesome band developing in Jersey headed towards us.. 

Ripping snow now. Ground covered but that dry slot is fast approaching from SW aimed right at the “CT snow hole” smh


.

Talk about “hangin’ on by a thread”

Light snow currently Bridgeport CT


.

It’s simple math, not model output lol. 1-3 hours of moderate snow = 1-3” of snow if we’re lucky lol


.

Man winters just aren’t the same anymore. We destroyed our climate


.

1-3 hours of snow between 6-9pm and it’s over. 1-3” and that’s my high end prediction for SW CT coast


.

1-3 hours of snow between 6-9pm and it’s over. 1-3” and that’s my high end prediction for SW CT coast


.

Rain/mix Fairfield CT coast. Looking at radar and past runs, no shot we get more than an inch or two max. NWS should drop these warnings


.

That squall line in Fairfield/New Haven counties what savage! I’d say close to an inch in some spots in less than 20 minutes! 10” on Tuesday, some mood flakes Wednesday night, 3-4” of fresh snow to refresh our “mini pack” this morning and a quick half inch to and inch this afternoon under the squalls! 21” season total here on the SW CT coastline. Not great and below average but I’ll take it, considering the start to our season and the amount of snow we’ve gotten, despite the above average temps and pattern we are in..


.

4” Fairfield CT. 20” season total.


.

4” Fairfield, CT. Season total 20”

This was taken at around 2:00, after the brunt of the snow was finished.  5+ inches reduced to a few inches of wet, nasty slop.  Utterly useless, and terrible.  Winter sucks.  My spot is like living in the mid-Atlantic.  Besides some random Connecticut island in the Long Island sound this area is the worst snow spot in the state, and probably all of new England. 
 
 

About 12” Fairfield CT - north side of town. Can’t believe it’s been 2 years since snow like this. It could have been 2’ if we had better ratios, but I’ll take it!


.

10-15” pretty much state wide CT from the overnight runs. Good start to 6z..


.

Thought it would be helpful to have all of the relevant model snowfall maps from 0Z in one place, as I'm constantly trying to remember where they might be in a thread especially when looking back at a storm which I sometimes do. I'm only including the 10:1 ratio maps for brevity and because those at least give one the total precip as snow, too, which is important. Pretty impressive all together.
I think we've all discussed ad nauseum how for this storm, especially for areas S of 78 and east of maybe the NJ TPK, surface temps are likely to be in the 33-35F range, leading to melting/compaction and there could be a warm nose aloft for some period leading to some sleet, both of which would make the snow ratio produced up high in the sky (which should be >10:1 given great dynamics in the DGZ) something perhaps considerably less on the ground as accumulated snow (maybe 7-8:1 and could be even lower at the coast), so take these maps as starting points for how much snow might actually accumulate.  

Huh that was quite the trend down here tonight.  If it stays like this past 12z then I’m sold.

Try 36 hours out

HRRR looks pretty damn cold too, not a threat of mixing even close to CT and surface temps look to be in the upper 20s for most of the event

can you post images?

So on NOAA Milford reported 11.3 at 1000am. if that is right then we definitely broke a foot here which would be a huge win all things considered. I thought we had less at the time but it’s tough to dispute given all the drifting.  It definitely did feel like we had more today than the 9.5 we got a few weeks ago.

You got over a foot lol we got about 14” in BPT on the water (black rock) Fairfield has a measurement of 16.2 at 3 pm

Very tight gradient here in Fairfield county. 6-8” storm for the majority of the county but eastern Fairfield county along the beach got hit hard (Fairfield, Bridgeport). The gradient was very obvious while out driving. Just saw a report of 16” in Fairfield and 10.4 was the last I saw at BDR airport at 1pm and I figured they got an inch or two on top of that.. anyways we were right on that edge

Ha as usual my yard has the lowest amount.

Bridgeport town just SE 10

Fairfield town just south 9

Trumbull town just to east 7 a while ago.

Heck Stamford on NYK boarder 7.

Somehow my yard is cursed WRT snow depth.

 

Yea man we have a foot easy here in Black Rock. I think those totals in Fairfield and BPT are from this morning. I just got home, highest amounts I saw are here, very tight gradient NW of Fairfield
