A thumping paster is coming. Finally. 

I'm not greedy like some here, I'll take anything that gets the ground white. As of this morning we're down to about 40 percent coverage in the yard at home. Surprised there's anything left with the heavy rain overnight. 36 degrees

Good or gone?

Curls back up under SNE instead of out to sea to the southeast. Way too early to know if it's really any good yet though... and the long range GFS solutions just look strange lately, not sure what to make of it

6Z GFS suddenly has a vastly different solution for next weekend with the "clipper"

18Z GFS looks more... interesting than the Euro? I didn't get to look at the 12z yet so I can't say whether it looks better or worse

WE need to move 25-30 miles north. It’s getting exhausting watching the CT/MA border cash in. 

Worked out pretty well for me so far, but I still wish I could move up to the Berks. As far as this system, we all should know this isn't done trending one way or the other

lol

what is the gfs doing midweek? 

Miller Beer

Kind of what the Euro was showing last evening. And then the low chasing the low up the coast several days later is interesting

Is it possible that piece could ultimately phase in if the sw is more amped, slower deeper?

Same thought / question here. Get that little kinked wave involved more. EDIT: I see Tip already answered

We have a 2hr delay…it’s a beautiful thing. When it really snows or ice..no school. So the best of all worlds with regards to any type of adverse weather.

But I too feel for the commuters …that’s no fun at all. So I can understand their plight. 

The key if you can is staying off the limited access highways and trying to take back roads if you're able to. Way too many people get sucked into taking the highway and it is the absolute worst place to be during any sort of snow event

Not that I necessarily believe a giant corporation but this is what Cargill says about Clear Lane:

"Reduced corrosion. Longer equipment life. Harmful rust and corrosion that results from extensive salt use often diminishes the life of application equipment. The patented PNS-approved corrosion inhibitor found in ClearLane® enhanced deicer is better than traditional road salt for your fleet, helping extend the life of your application vehicles."

That's the biggest load of Horse Hocky I've ever heard,  especially seeing what it does to newer vehicles. Got to love marketing

Lol..yesterday the sentiment was that it’s gonna trend north, north for CNE, and leave SNE mostly out.

Comical how the modeling many times goes in the opposite direction of the current thinking.  All of a sudden it’s now south.  This is Still morphing, nothing figured out yet. Changes to come still. 

Exactly. I seriously doubt there will be two distinct low pressure centers either. I think I've seen the GFS try that one before..

About 1" at home on Lava lake.

Ride to work was fine.  Roads have been overly treated with metal eating salt.

Season total @ 7.75"

Clear Lane actually... WAY more metal eating than old fashioned salt. Stuff is terrible

That's better than zero. But, I think we all are hoping and waiting for that " Nemo " or " Juno " type storm 

That would be fun, but good luck with that. We got really really spoiled in this area for many years, the '80s have to come back through the door at some point

Trend has been flatter. But airmass is dog shit prior to the storm.

Yup. Going to need some help from the wave itself if this is going to be anything 

3/4 inch overnight brings me to 23 inches for the season in Westfield 

.75 here in Westfield.  Brings us to 23 on the season

Disorganized mess

Storm, or the GFS itself...

Snowing pretty decent here, but it's still 33 degrees.  If anything is going to accumulate it's going to take some work

 I find it amusing (and weird) some folks are so wrapped up in something 100% out.of their control that it actually enrages them.

I don't always agree with you or your delivery, but I 100% agree with you here! Some of it's venting and some of its comic relief.. but a lot more weenie has been mixed into the recipe the last couple years. I guess just like everywhere else it's the 2020s now. Some flurries starting in Westfield the past half hour

Finally finished the SNE snowfall to date map. This thing is a bear to do. If you guys like it i'll keep doing them throughout the winter, otherwise i might just do it at the end of the season. The CT one only takes about an hour to do but this one took about 5 hours. The vast majority is finding and verifying reports on here, cocorahs, climo sites, etc.. There was a little smoothing i had to do with the isonifs, but if there is any additional reports or corrections i will add them. Thanks!

I used the reports for contours obviously but also the gridded snowfall analysis from nohrsc as a guide https://www.nohrsc.noaa.gov/snowfall/

 

Interesting. My area seems a low, but I can imagine that is a difficult map to make this year. I'm at 21.25 in Westfield, and I know North Granby has had a few more inches than us, and had an official 17 inches from just that one large storm.  Less in Simsbury, but I don't have any decent measurements here

Still in clown range for the high-res meso models, but certainly an interesting look by 12z Wednesday:

Magnitude of the cold drain is for sure overdone, but it should be something to watch for. 

Heaven forbid I say this, but on a system like this I'll be definitely checking out the NAM as we get closer

Could tickle 60 south of the pike for sure.  

This pattern and time of year... I'll believe it when I see it

We need something to happen from the 29th until about Feb 3rd before it warms up again. 

If you trust the long range GFS (i don't) The warm up is in question with the 0Z run. It looks totally different compared to the last several runs. Onto 6Z... 10 degrees in Westfield this A.M.

Nice snow shower moving into Westfield currently. Starting to coat up surfaces

And of course the 2 stooges weenie me 

They are already declaring winter over

I've been known to weenie you, but have to agree with you here. He's probably just trying to throw reverse psychology into full reverse...

Wasn't this the second run from the GFS showing something for that date? I thought it showed it at 00z last night as well

More than that, but the evolution has been all over.  A given at this range. Ensembles??
