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

Have I had too much egg nogg or are there double posts?

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

Well, 2 weather outlets already have snow maps up. Once takes the 3"-6" from the Connecticut River West, to the East of the river 2"-4"/1"-3".

Another has the Southwest 1/3rd in the 3"-6", the middle chunk of the state 2"-4", and the northeastern corner 1"-3". They must feel more confident with the Euro and also the fact the models have bumped NE somewhat. 

That'd be great... but pretty bold at this point. And can someone pin this?

00Z GFS had a nice bump NE. 

In a way, yes... but the northern edges look to be the same or even eroded slightly more. We need a few more tics to have this be anything but congrats NYC cop

Is Friday real? 

As far as I'm concerned, it's been gone at least 24 hours with the steady trend of the cold press. Like Will said, we need to see a reversal tonight... or it's gone

Ya…80’s were the worst. This has a ways to go, so the ones ready to hang yourselves, get ready for more punishment. 

True, we never know when 92 (or was it 91? ) will come through the door again, but it will

Not even close bro.  But This is season is it. The last 3 have been gearing up for this.  Last year was closer, but Now we have it.   When everybody around you snows, but you don’t in SNE…that’s the 80’s.   Ahhh….visions of my teens growing up in CT. 

Same here. High school from 1984 through 88. We had a total of like 6 snow days all 4 years. The only great surprise was in, it believe 1987. Was supposed to have my wisdom teeth pulled and we had a surprise bomb with about 10 inches of paste. Seemed like 3 feet! Just down the hill at BDL there was nothing

He just tweeted he has 3” in Simsbury.

Make that .3" lol

Stickage right away . 29.7

Still thinking around 2” here. Hope so anyway 

We'll see. Radar looked like total ass earlier. Now it's filled in to maybe half assed lol. I agree, thinking about 2 inches here as well

It's all we got right now, so I'll say it. Closing in on a coating here

Just now, CoastalWx said:

You mad?

I was thinking the same. We had 100 percent cover from the 2nd until the cutter. Better than most Decembers here by a lot

Thank God Maine is doing well 

LOL. Well... it did just start snowing in Simsbury.

40 minutes ago, moneypitmike said:

based on what I just read in the BOX AFD.....why?

Because ... more likely the fact that it's a half day before a long holiday weekend. I will say it just started snowing where I'm at here in Granby right now and the roads are pretty slick. Lots of black ice this morning for some reason

Starting to snow in granby. 27°
