We've actually dropped a couple degrees the last couple hours. Down to 25 in Westfield. Hopefully the actual amount that falls isn't that great... but lighter seems to acrete more efficiently

“Pattern shift….” 
 

Careful what you wish for. 

 

There’s some naive optimism in seeing less mid level troughiness on the west coast but this is not without losing cold anoms in Canada. After first few days of January risk is tilted warm, even in the northeast. There’s some indications also, that the MJO makes a pass to 4/5/6 which are all warm phases for Jan. 
 

Pattern looks like trash around hr240 on the ensembles.

 

Deluded to be getting excited for big snow from day 9ish on..

Well here, not excited for it showing snow... just nice to see a POSSIBLE better pattern than we've seen in a while. What a clam

Definitely more Tool than any of the tools in my garage

It shows systems on the 1st / 2nd, 5th and the 9th. Plenty to track right now

We hope.   Let's get this rainer out of the way first.

Hopefully it isn't much,  and looks to be pretty quick through here. I'd expect to keep at least some of what fell last night. Certainly doesn't look like the last pack eraser

5.5 inches here in Westfield. I'm curious what Simsbury did, haven't heard from the plow guy yet

Over 4 inches here now, it had lightened, but has picked up nicely again

just measured 1.5"

 

Nice. As much as the plows have been by here, you'd swear we've had 6 lol

Make that 3

was waiting for your post! This bodes well for me

Over 2.5 inches here now (well 10 minutes ago)

went from barely flurries to a quarter inch in less than 15 minutes here

Just got back from the Christmas light hike and just started flaking here in Westfield

So, how is it?? 

Fading partial sun in Westfield, 20 degrees. Our Christmas light hike was rescheduled to this afternoon. Should be festive!

Aren't the official voice?

They used to be far more relevant.  The last 20 years they always seem to be behind the 8 ball. EDIT: Also, we've had the weenie emoji forever,  isn't it time for something else... maybe a clam?

You have a better shot of higher amounts. Who knew Simsbury is a snowier spot than Tolland.

LOL, but historically many times it is

I def see warnings for at least half the state 

Considering the time frame I would expect they'd go watches first at least in some areas for this evening and then switch over tomorrow. We have all day tomorrow really before it gets started

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the Herpes yet. And yeah, this has the look of a super sharp cutoff 

Merry Christmas everyone! It'll be interesting now to see 12Z, That map from WTNH seems pretty bold still, but would love it to verify.

Definitely an improvement from yesterday, but I have to have pause. Modeling can’t get a grip on the blocking so buyer beware 

Exactly, and is getting multiplied for every day in the future. Those that live and die by the OP runs past a day or two are just going to drive themselves insane with this pattern

I love how some say we need a big move TODAY.   No, you don’t need it today, because the storm isn’t until Friday night/Saturday.  And all you need is incremental movements today…being your 2-3 days out.  
 

And the modeling has been so dam horrendous of late…I wouldn’t sleep on this out east. Wouldn’t take a whole lot to get everyone in the game. So no, you don’t need a big move today at all. You just need some incremental movement in the positive direction. We watch. 

Euro is slowly improving. Lets keep that up, and get some others onboard. We really don't need anything dramatic, just increments. I'll admit, I really thought this was toast, but it's certainly still there
