Mesos keep my hood snow until about 4p.m. Not sure I buy it hanging in that long unless this bombs

I bottomed (giggity) out at 24 in Westfield, was 26 whn I left the house. 27 in Simsbury. The school system is closed along with many others in this area.

Lots of schools closed this morning in the northern CT area. Works for me, I have a ton of maintenance in on of the districts

Dropped to 24 in Westfield overnight, up to 26 now. LOL 12Z GFS, I'll believe it when I plow it!

Speaking of colder, down to 26 in Westfield already. I didn't expect it to cool so rapidly this evening

OMFG. Shoot whoever said that, to the sun. 

Someone at the NWS must be trolling now... or just plain dumbass

An extremely close marginal situation at the edges. We await 

Bob Cox on WTIC super conservative as of this morning (as always), going for 3 to 6 in the hills with about an inch everywhere else. I just don't see that myself with the overnight slight trends. I could see 3 to 6 near Hartford to BDL and 4 to 8 in the hills

Off-topic:   It's incredibly icy out there this morning.  Be careful out there!

Super slick in Westfield with no treatment anywhere but the State roads

Shoot.. even into my knees of the woods just west of Hartford brings a healthy amount of Snow. 

Reminds me, someday I need to draw a rain/snow line map for my area that better explains it. Models and local forecasts just never get the area right. Heavy smoothing on the maps

You knew that was bound to happen... or rains to northern VT

I also cannot believe the model differences at less than 48 hours out. 

I feel like we had a similar storm last season,  similar disagreement and last minute the warm tongue was firmly inserted into SNE... but i don't have anywhere your memory capacity

I think I know how this goes. BDL will get 5-6” I’ll get a slushy mess and rain at 32.8. I can see it and am so irritated 

Or Bradley could be white rain and I'm dumping up here. We just don't know. Did you run out of beer?

So…for my home location-do I need to contact my neighbor to clear the sidewalk?  Brookline can be dicks and ticket if you don’t clear.  We’re not expecting to be home before Thursday night.  I was thinking at my location it would be mainly slop.

Don't you have 24 hours? That's what most towns are.  And LOL at the name showing 6 to 8 inches in westfield, but none in Simsbury where I'm covering my friend's plow route. Definitely won't happen because I'm really not looking forward to plowing this storm

Whatever happens, I’m not real concerned about precipitation type issues in Greenfield.  Should be a snowy Wednesday morning whether it’s 2” or 10”. 

More like Tuesday afternoon.  Looks like I'll be out plowing by midnight/2am if the timing on the models holds

Love to see it

Well, this storm will give us a heads up on which model(s) to give a modicum of trust, if any, as we go into the winter season.

Possibly, as long as you're not talking about the NAM this far out. It's not useful yet

I never use show biz as evidence of anything.

 

Me either, but growing up in the 80s, weed wasn't what we called dope...

OT but is the east side of Simsbury really low in elevation? I'm surprised you're < 200'

Quite a bit of variation through town. East side on the Bloomfield line can have a couple inches, and the west side of town have 4 times that

Not to mention we’d remember the 6 days out of 365 days in a calendar year when the Euro showed more snow than other models and it was right.

But no one cared when its QPF forecast missed in early June.

A lot of cherry picking in memories rooted around snowfall events.

Fair enough, understanding that many of us focus far more on winter weather

Listen you know me and I am 85% of the time Euro but all these claims of improvement to the degree as to reduce doubt , increase confidence is bullshit.

I have to agree with that,  at least for New England in general.  Euro used to lock on and not let go, and be right far more often than not. Seems ever since the upgrade, it hasn't had that solid performance. Maybe other parts of the globe it's better, but i just don't see it here

Just now, ORH_wxman said:

NAM and ICON get play because they come out first. 

I hear you,  they're just not very useful at this time frame.

Nam is rains to coastal Maines 

Why are we looking at the NAM at this point? JK, but serious 

I hate to be that guy, but when is this wave onshore for better sampling, tomorrow afternoon?

Are we losing it?

Possibly mentally for some.  Lots to work out still

Quite a few bursts of snow showers through Westfield this afternoon. Setting the stage... we'll see
