It looked as though it wanted to phase with the energy over the great lakes -

I hope in a few days, we are worrying about how far north sleet line can get.... -

AI GFS bumped south at 12z...still brings precip north, but no where near as much as before. Confluence way stronger than 6z -

I mean, looking at the 6z Euro, 6 days out sure looks ok to me...living in the Mid Atlantic for most of my life, I recall quite a few of these systems and their abilities to end up further north than forecasted 5 days out. Always seemed like the sleet line would make its way further north than foecasted, even within 24 hrs. The fact that the OPs are starting to bounce around, the closer we get definitely shows there is some wiggle room. Lets get some ridging in the SE.... -

Off to bed, last part of the weekend ended up underperforming out here....unless some magical backbuilding occurs later, we will finish with another 1.6"...weekend total 7.7" -

Evening snow stroll...1" of new snow, still crappy growth, we had way better rates this morning. Snow is still pasty, trees are sagging a ton, 31.6⁰ -

Still very crappy snow growth here, despite somewhat decent radar....we should limp ourselves to an inch or 2 -

Been snowing for the past 45 minutes here, but terrible growth....radar definitely blossoming, some how I squeaked out 1.7" earlier, hopefully we can match or beat that with this next round. The air actually feels cooler too, maybe some better fluff this time. 31.6 atm -

Looking at the radar drying out here in Western CT, I bet we underperform with this last wave. 1-2 inches hopefully, but still no complaints, looks and feels like winter out there. After the last burst of snow, our total for the first round was 1.7". Storm total, 6.1"... Good luck out to the east, hopefully an overperformer coming your way -

I would be ok if we go 1 for 3......I know we have been snowier out here. Just one huge storm, region wide with cold air before and after. I will definitely not complain if we go 3 for 3, but something good for all -

Just went for a hike, snow coming down nicely again....everything I shoveled is already covered up again -

Just showed my kids this....we had a 10 minute lull here, snizzle with flakes mixing back in now. Can already see it building to my west and south. Total 1.3" from the first round.... Total is 5.7", just measured 4.5" in the yard, so some loss and compaction, but not too bad -

Moderate snow, 0.6" so far....snow on top of snow is always nice. The view outside my window is what I can imagine Powderfreak experiences on a normal basis, getting it down here definitely makes it pretty special. 28.4 currently
