Dude. No one knows right now. Read along as we go through the models

A day 11 OP model? Really? Belongs in banter

patchy coverage here too. got a fair amt of rain in the evening.

yep-we just need to avoid a crazy -PNA like we saw in December.

low moisture in the snowpack too-it's going fast here-whatever's left will be crust by tomorrow

No precip at all here-just windy and 38-39

most of the big ZR events on the coast are in the early AM (like wed) Still dry here and 37 now-solar insolation will help on the roads so looks like all rain here

33 here and partly sunny-looks like mostly rain with the later start and temps rising all morning

Wow. Mine stopped taking water around 12/25 or so, then it really starts to dry out. I worry about it being a fire hazard so it's the first thing to go on the 1st of Jan, then the rest of the lights/decorations.

sometimes a threat pops up in the day 3-5 time frame-especially if a vort comes out of Canada from a data sparse region.

If we get one cold month I like it being Jan. Heart of winter, coldest climo, low sun angle. Maximum snow retention!

most went for a cold Dec and a warm Jan. Bust. So who knows what Feb will bring...

I kill it on 12/26. Can't wait to take down the dead wreaths and tree every year but we hold off til 1/1 for that.

anyone have a good radar loop of the storm-I only saw it from 7:30am forward lol

yeah we got 8 inches of heavy wet slop here from that

crazy- BDR up here reported 8.2 they are usually low on totals for some reason (not sure if they actually get that much less or it's poor measuring)

7 inches here

7 inches here

models always seem to rush pattern changes (whether going into cold or warm)

response from CT DOT: The DOT said Wednesday morning’s weather event was “a perfect storm.” The agency said crews could not apply liquid pre-treatment for the ice because it was too cold Tuesday night. But it was also too windy Wednesday morning for crews to try to pre-treat the roads with hard salt, the DOT said. “It was kind of this Goldilocks zone of ineffective options to pre-treat our roadways,” said Garrett Eucalitto, a deputy commissioner at DOT. - the liquid part I get-it would likely freeze up the nozzles on the machines-but too windy for rock salt? LOL

complete debacle in my area-no salt on roads, pileups just a disaster all around.

still holding at 32 here

That would explain it at least on state roads. Not sure why there were no local crews out putting down salt/mag chloride

What a debacle. No salt anywhere. They called a late school delay here at 6:45 then closed at 8:30. Roads a disaster with numerous accidents. Gov't at its finest. Usually they over salt here for marginal/rain events but then they go the other way this time lol. To be fair there was no WWA for the immediate coast last night.

I'd wait til tomorrow's 12z before tossing in any towels
