I'll learn to read the fine print someday. 

Bridgeport has to be getting close to 20” by now

Just when I thought it was going to start to let up it just started RAGING AGAIN! Let’s keep this rolling

Ripping. Still SN+, still 1-2" per hour.

It's an interesting storm and extremely steady as she goes for SW CT, which is rare. We usually vacillate in intensity, play frequent games with dry slots and sleet, but this is working out well. Some of the bigger events (like 2011 and the HECSs) we've gone insane and hit 4-6" and even more per hour, up to 8" or so one of those nights. This is staying strong but not crazy at the same rate all day.

I’m with you man. Nemo was the craziest for sure. We ended up with almost 40” that storm but this one is definitely holding her own in SW CT

Closing in on a foot and a half. Still ripping. Coastal SW CT

We have had blizzard criteria conditions since about 11am non stop

I was just at Jennings beach. I live in Black Rock section of Bridgeport. On black rock harbor. I’ll go out soon to measure.

Plus it’s so wind whipped. Serious drifting

Where are you located? GO measure!

Absolutely ripping here in Fairfield CT on the beach! Havent measured but looks like at least 16”

First flakes Fairfield CT. Coastal SW CT

Probably got another inch at the most here  in SW CT on the coast. Stayed all snow here. Nice little mood snow on top of the pack before it starts to erode. 

A lot of sleet mixing in on the coast in CT now. Meh

RAGING OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW. WOW. Coastal Sw CT. Idk how much on ground. At least 6” most likely more and snowing 2/3” per hour. Let’s see how long this lasts...a few pings as well but mostly snow

Hardest it’s snowed all storm. Raging sideways blizzard right now CT south coast. Right on beach. Few ice/sleet pellets pinging the windows. 26 degrees.

Man I wish I knew I was guaranteed snow.  I think the OES component and the commahead of the storm could prolong the snow through noon on Friday here on the Cape.  Models continuously showed this potential.  HRRR snows through the 18 hours on the 22z run with a large portion of the storm still overhead.

I lucked out this storm. I’m far enough west where I think the mix line should stay south of me. W CT usually fairs the best in these situations where the low passes this close. I know the cape may mix east of of the canal for sure but you guys can make it all up with OES or the back end and a nice front end thump. Looks like a nice band incoming for me, hopefully it holds together through Bridgeport. Good luck!

Starting to crank here down coastal SW CT. Everything is covered. Wind driven snow. 23 degrees.

Nothing yet here. Fairfield CT. Coastal SW CT. Expecting about a foot. Good luck guys!

Here in coastal SW CT I feel like I’m in a decent place considering what’s being shown on the models but also worried about both subsidence and possibly a brief period of mixing. Thinking we end up with about a foot here in Fairfield..

I live in this area and its not even close.  The Danbury area averages much more snowfall that 25-50 miles West of NYC.. This is the map from NWS UPTON NY, seasonal snowfall average. 

I was just thinking I’m pretty sure Northern Fairfield County averages a wee bit more snow than the highlands west of NYC

Really took the 2000s and 2010s winters for granted. This sucks. 

And right on par with last year. Freaky. This sucks...I feel you’re pain.

Unfortunately we are currently in the “mild/snowless” period. I believe everything in life is cyclical including weather and I believe things flipped sometime in 2016/2017 and ever since winters are basically non existent in the east with the exception on NNE and green and white mountains. It’s happened before. We will still have stretches of mild winter like in the past and we will also occasionally have very snowy winters and that’s part of the reason it’s so fun to track storms. I’ll tell ya what though the next big storm for the tri state area and coastal NE will be a very welcomed sight, it’s been too long. Hope we can squeeze a big storm out of a crappy pattern/season. I’ve seen it happen plenty of times, 2006 (30”) and  2013 (37”) come to mind, especially over last 15 years. You never know...fingers crossed

I am already sick of the events turning from snow to mix to rain.  Had enough rain now.  Everyone else in SNE is over at least 20", I am stuck as usual way behind at 1.2" of total snow.  I know climatologically speaking I am not in a great place for snow until at least DEC 20th, so I should be grateful for 1.2" now, but I need my hunger fix.

Hey man I’m right there with ya on the south coast of CT. We’ve had maybe 4” all season so far and whole lotta ice today. Hang in there we will get ours. Jan/Feb is the coasts best shot. We’ve also lost grip reality with the pst decade being very snowy for SNE including the coast. Feels almost like the 90s again.
 

.56 of ice on everything Except most roadways. Bridges are a different story. North side of town will have some damage for sure.

Funnily enough, that's probably the whiff that gives me the least indigestion out of all of them in the new millennium. I think it's because I got nothing – not a trace, not a single flake – so the blizzard to the south may as well have been in Alaska. There was no tease, just a snowstorm that hit somewhere else (which happens every day of the year). It hurts much worse when there's some snow to provide a taste of what is transpiring just miles away. 5" in Feb 2006, 4" Feb '10, 10" Feb '13... that sort of thing.

Seems like the tables have turned, at least since 2017 in Southern CT. Those storms you mentioned we did extremely well (30” 2006 / 42” 2013) but we are starting to go back to coastal winters I remember growing up with lots of mixed/cold rain events in the 90s but we still had some good storms just much less frequent than we have become accustomed to over the last 10-20 years. Everything in life is cyclical including weather. I believe the 20s will be more docile regarding all snow events at the coast. We are due but are we really? Tons of moisture this year and into the early parts of this winter but unfortunately it hasn’t clashed with cold enough air. Frustrating. Another “normal” inland jack and coastal screw season in the works!

BTW 

.56 of ice on everything

North side of town will have damage from weight of ice.

Not sure about others but I love long duration events like this.  It's not often that we have an event that has rounds and is multi-faceted.  There's so many different factors to look at.  I've enjoyed this system and I didn't even jack in it...lol

Awww you didn’t hit the jackpot? Unfortunately I have no sympathy for the foot plus u prob got when us coastal folk’ got a coating which melted away 3 hours ago. It was a unique and interesting system for sure, but would have loved if the coast would have gotten some love. Enjoy!

Was North of Holyoke, MA last night driving back to coastal Fairfield County, CT and WOW, What a sharp gradient N to S in CT!  1-2 feet north of Hartford. Few inches south of city and about a coating to an inch on coast! Fairfield county has been absolutely ripped off last few years. Almost like becoming the new norm. It’s sad..
 

Congrats to our neighbors to the North! Enjoy it. Snow breeds snow, and it’s early!
