What kind of service do you do? 

I'm an electrician

Clouds and raw as f**k in Simsbury, 29 degrees. Great morning for an outdoor service call

34 in East Windsor? Every town surrounding it had reports of 22-25" including BDL. I didn't see anything like that looking through all the available data. that map includes every possible report i could find from cocorahs, COOP and the PNS which is what i go off of and i think is far more realistic and accurate than the NESIS map which has none of CT above 30" which is ridiculous. 

I did have the two towns transposed in my head. 29 in E.W. and 31 in Simsbury.. well, West Simsbury really

I'll have to try to dig out my old notes wherever the hell they are lol. If I'm remembering correctly East Windsor had a hair more than Simsbury although maybe I'm of the information backwards. I know the Simsbury measurement is correct

Far NW CT got screwed that storm, you were dangerously close to another ho-hum 11-12" event. 

Great storm, but I don't buy some of those accumulations for a second. We had 31 in Simsbury, and 34 in East Windsor where I was living at the time. I've heard others say the same.

need one of these to ease the mind... that's my truck in there and my car in the background completely covered in 2013, that was such a crushing storm...

An amazing storm. It was a bear to plow my residential driveways, but I didn't care. Similar accumulation to '78 in my area, but unfortunately it didn't shut the state down for a week

Snowing lightly again in Simsbury. 

 If we had more than paltry precip it would have been pretty terrible here. Still 30.5 degrees

Super icy secondary roads from Westfield all the way down to Simsbury this A.M. I can't even park in my normal spot at work, my truck tried to slide into the van in the next spot

My parents made it all the way to 61 and 63.  Just luck of the drawn--not life style stuff.  I have several older siblings who have made it passed the 63 barrier, so I have hope.  In any case, I'm looking forward to being permanently retired--you never know how much time you'll have left.

Yikes, may you have many more years of health! I didn't see where this sub discussion started, but Tips point on sugar is spot on. Some is genetics, but a LOT is up to us. It's funny how it works sometimes. I have lots of longevity in my family and look young for my age... but both rotators repaired, a pinched nerve in my neck that'll need attention soon and likely stenosis starting in my lower back. It's always something!

Well... We've been waiting for a possible upcoming pattern to produce,  that would be interesting. Obviously details are a long  way off

6z GFS 

Haven't looked yet... but you must be feeling better

The colder trend for the weekend has not made it into my forecast 

From my barely trained eye it seems at least the GFS is yo-yoing on that for the weekend,  for your area 

Well, if... IF (yes, I know) it was simply to remove him and install the duly elected people i have NO problem with it. Now, moving forward, and some of those statements 

GFS is looking a little colder again for the weekend, and for tonight in NNE. Still has activity in the longer range... stay tuned

1/15 will probably be one of the few times this winter the antecedent airmass won't be great, if a storm actually manifests during that time - as shown by OPs and ensembles. 1/17 and beyond looks much more promising. 

We'll see, there's a ways to go. If this is still showing as something decent on models as we get closer but the airmass is crap, you KNOW what phrase will be dug out by the weenies

Yup..got some flying here just now too. 

Hey, maybe it'll help us keep our pack going a little longer since the warm up is being muted 

For what it's worth, some flakes starting to fly in Simsbury

Are the flurries the cause?

The way people drive in this area, almost guaranteed 100%!
