The constant moving of the goalposts and downplaying the warmth is annoying. All you do is post how the pattern is going to be favorable, and you have been wrong every time. It’s been happening for 2 years now.

You seriously need to move away from the water... coastal plain, whatever lol

looks to be snowing fairly good in Westfield

Husband said there was a good band that moved through, but it's super light now. Same in Simsbury, the intensity is way less than an hour ago

Raging flurries in Simsbury

I’ve been pretty good I think. If you recall I’ve mentioned several of these systems not being an issue for suppression. If you could reduce the wind and QPF output by 50%, you’d have a good model.

Been a tough winter for the KFS.

Isn't it always? Hopefully you guys get some love down that way, we haven't done terrible up here. I still think next week could end up interesting for some. Lets see what the GFS rolls out on the craps table at 12Z

What time should the 3-6” south of the pike be starting today?

Revised to 3 to 6 flakes... which is about what I've had here lol

No chance.   Way too dry here and there's a dry push later today from the north

Exactly, we'll be lucky to have full cloud coverage

The Tuesday/Wed illusory snow threat is about to disappear on the operationals.

UL ridging builds highest over our heads—troughiness in SE Canada/NB, vanishing. Notice the ridge axis progression eastward over time…

Models changing more than I change my underwear, don't like it... check back tomorrow for as the models turn

21 degrees. Local Met saying 1 to 2 inches in western CT... We'll see about that

If the timing were better, sure...but yesterday right during the day following a holiday...not quite bad enough to get the day off, but bad enough to be a nuisance....eh.

Well nuisance, it's only a nuisance when the snow blower's shit the bed... but I fixed that. Thank God for garage heat! And well, well.. look at that high pressure flexing for next Wednesday. That has a nice look

One thing I don't mind about CC is the increased frequency of larger events at the expense of currier and ives shit. Sign me up for that....I am okay with missing out on days like Tuesday in favor of more like January 7th even if the overall total drops a bit.

I argue with myself about that. I really like events like Tuesdays. I would happily take a solid day or three of snow only accumulating 8 inches "days and days" over a large event if it happened fairly consistent throughout the season... but ask me again in six months

I just plan on it every year.

I’m still optimistic we can salvage an OK winter, at least out this way. 

For my location it's been quite average. How the rest of the winter unfolds will tell if it ends up decent or dud. Time will tell, but there's LITTLE patience on this board anymore.

ice?

Don't You'll wake up DIT. I hate ice... but it's great to boost generator sales, so maybe I shouldn't hate

Had 11 degrees in Westfield, now 15 in Simsbury

I'm unvaulting my ratter rants gentlemen.......I'll leave it at that for now......but so far thats where we're at.....

Funny, right up the street we're just about average for this point. Your area has always been a snow hole in CT with several very good years the last couple decades

I'd def keep an eye on Friday south of pike...I'm prob toast up here for more than a feather dusting but south coast peeps could easily get a few inches with a small bump north.

Keeping an eye, but expecting flurries here. Probably one where there's a super sharp cutoff between an inch or two and nada.  But... cue the weenies if one of the Mesos throws out an "interesting" solution today

So are we seeing a bit of a change for midweek next week as far as attempts not being as high as the mid-40s? There was talk that some colder air may wedge down and we won't get as warm. Just wondering if the models today trended towards a more wintry solution in the middle of next week. More importantly, are we going to get colder after next week again with more chances of winter weather...... that is the question

The push of that high is TBD at this point. Personally i am kinda hoping next Thursday will end up 45 degrees, we have rooftop work and a crane delivering a new HVAC unit to a customer... so the pattern will probably morph into a cold / snow scenario

Not for us.

Maybe he should start a thread for Friday   15 degrees at the office this A.M. Roads are still a mess, looks like it just stopped snowing

Adding in today's total, I'm at 21.25 inches 

Final 3.5 in Westfield

Really interested in how/why the Euro and GFS did so poorly with this even even when < 96 hours. 

 

Makes me wonder (slightly) if they haven't sniffed out Friday correctly.

Just changed back to snow here in westfield. Just as I finished snow blowing the driveway

GFS actually has a snow/ice threat for next Wednesday...sneaky high moves in and prevents everything from torching. That idea has been showing up off and on different guidance actually, so it bears watching.

Thanks Will. How you get weenies for that just shows the intelligence of some here... unreal

Suddenly sleet / snow in simsbury. Still moderate snow in Westfield
