34 still light rain guess it's moving west to east so hopefully soon I get a changeover.

SW CT snowhole continues. Ground completely wet. Starting to regret canceling a dinner plan over this.

I wouldn't have cancelled over 3-6 inches either.

Temp just dropped 3 degrees so snow should pick up and start sticking soon.

I see snow in the air in Phillie, light right now.

Temp up to 44F; not sure I buy NWS with 6” here for me

Im at 40 now but it looks like the temp will drop quick once we get into it.

basically just told him that there was no way it was going to be -20. Told him lows would be either side of 0.

dude was in the middle of a $$$$$$$ replacing my furnace so I didn’t want to distract him too much

Usually I just nod when I hear stuff like that, no use lecturing them.

HVAC guy at my house last week was trying to tell me that it was going to be -20 up here this week. he was looking at a map one of the clown Mets posted on twatter. It was an upper air map of 850 temps. talk about misleading

How did you respond to that?

I like the that the GFS leaves a little left back for my area 

Saw quite a few ice fisherman on one of the larger ponds in the area today, also the Connecticut River was almost totally frozen in Springfield, a few open spots but another week and it may be solid.

Really running out of steam for up here.  My hopes lie with the Icon.  lol

I'll probably wind up with 3-4.

6-8 no  problem.

Snow IMBY. I'll believe only when I see it.
This winter so far has been a huge disappointment for many.
Remember it's always darkest before the "Don"
Getting one or two several inch storms at this point would be a winner. 

2015 started on January 26th so there's still time to pull off a good year, I wouldn't mind a lot of nickel and dime events either but would always welcome a 20+ incher.

I’m just hoping the SE crew gets at least an advisory level.  Would love to see them hit low end warning but I have my doubts for them 

Id give up a little for our SE friends to get in the game, and by a little I mean an inch

Isn’t he in northeast CT? 1-3 sounds quite a bit too low there. Even for the valleys. Don’t think elevation will play a huge role..maybe only in the first couple hours. 

He is, not far from me but maybe better to set expectations low and be surprised.

Suffered from these for years-- though they may have been hybrid migraine/tension headaches. Have occasionally experienced auras, but not as migraine precursors. This all culminated a couple of winters ago with several trips in one week to the emergency room, they got so bad. (Though these may have possibly been complications from Lyme disease which I've had too many times, and/or covid). What brings all this up is I was finally prescribed with a common anti-depressant amytriptoline (sp). One pill a night and I haven't experienced  migraine symptoms since September of 2023-- been a real positive life changer! I used to rely on sumatriptin (sp) several times a week which relieved, but headaches would return on the rebound. Now got a whole bunch unused/unneeded. I bring this all up for those searching for relief with a lot of confusing options out there. This is what's worked for me.

My sister was a lifer, sometime ending up in the ER when she was younger, but they give her something now that has almost eliminated them, I'll have to ask her what it is, she's 61 now so maybe age related too.

I am with you, thinking 2-4 or easily could be 1-3; the best will be NW of us.

I think you do better than that but probably best to be more conservative at this point.

He’s a trip. -20° at his coop in Jan 94, but -33° next to the balsam firs.

Multiple “Light frosts” in July 2001.  Also reports weenie valley high temps on hot days. 

That was the year I had 7 nights in a row below zero, he has 6 out 7 on that graph, I had two mornings -20, I lived in a good rad spot that year. The Connecticut River was frozen solid for a few weeks that year.

Im just excited to see snow

I am just an observer here for the most part, but it seems like you just will it to snow. This isn't the first system this winter you've stuck with that has reeled others back in on 

He has the power.

Light flurry here right now. I see a few scattered on radar.

I would be quite happy with an Advisory/low end Warning snowfall here

I'll take anything that whitens the ground with the cold shot coming next week, I want a winter feel.

CMC has a wicked cold shot into Ohio, probably record territory.

How does a patrolman in the Bronx have time and ability to post every model run no matter the time of day or night ?

He posts on his donut breaks every half hour.

Sounds like the same thing except you didn't get the rest.

I was lucky it hit me when I woke up one morning and just stayed home that day.

Heads up to folks out there.  There's a nasty virus going around. I thankfully very rarely catch any bugs. Probably been 25 years since the last time. Last night I started shaking uncontrollably, severe headache and pressure in the forehead. The girlfriend had it earlier in the week and a neighbor as well.

I had it last week, sucks big time, just getting over it.

If this keeps up without much snow cover, we may start seeing some broken mains into peoples houses. Been a LONG time since that's happened in my area

I had that happen in the 2005 winter, had a good two feet of snow and it was below zero. I was standing in the deep snow freezing while I pumped my basement out.
