I'm somewhat envious. Probably not going to be much here.  But, I'm not the valley floor either. We shall see. 13 miles west of Hartford...so, I should see something sitting just under 500'.

you flip or still raining? I think you're good for 4-6, tricky the valley forecast, as always in these marginal events

.5" slush in the last half hour

everything coated, that didn't take long with these massive paws, good God, it's like red dawn with parachutes out there, ha

pounding chutes right now, wow

Nice id love to take a drive up there tomorrow but would probably have to stop at point where the roads are getting bad. Send some pics to you in this thread if you can

I'll try I usually have trouble posting pics here but I found if I take a picture and then a screenshot of that picture I can post them

believe it or not it's actually starting to slush up the wet spots when it rained before, looks like 100% snow now

I think youre a lock for 8+. High end 20. Keep us updated, im very curious to see what happens in the hills tonight/tomorrow.

yeah me too, I've been pretty steadfast with my 8-12 since go, but all these numbers I keep seeing got me second guessing, I'm still not sold though on them big amounts, although we are pounding paws atm.

beginning to flip here, some wet flakes mixed with the rain, down to 34, I went from here to work near BDL and was 41 drizzle, down to Meriden and was 45 light rain, Waterbury was 43 when rain got heavier, temp dropped as I drove up 8 by nearly 10 degrees, if we flip here now and stay all snow, we're in the money... ALY still has my area on the edge of 12-18, just south 8-12, and that's what I'm sticking with here

Just fired one up. Good luck up there. 

yeah you too, hoping for the best, prepared for the worst

Weenie flakes and sprinkles were in the forecast for today.

radar looking pretty stout upstream for weenie flakes and filling in south, hope so because I got a lot of running around today before things really kick

sitting at 33.5/30 with flakes flying, should we fire up an obs thread? this is wayyy earlier than I expected to see any flakage

there's actually flakes flying right now in Winsted

WTH is this map 

that looks like one of those spin paint plates you get at the big e

still sticking with my 8-12... trending in the wrong direction, maybe they should put the algorithm in the models from 10 years ago, it seems like the last few years more often than not there have been major struggles with them even latching onto a solution more than a day out... maybe it's me but it's like we used to have goalposts set a week out with fine tuning as we close in, now it's almost a now cast event all the time, other than sniffing out a sig, of course many other things to look at, such as upper level mechanics, etc. but they just seem awful with handle on systems lately

Obviously never witnessed in person, but the videos that come out of there are insane. They'll close long stretches of highways in that stuff b/c it's way too dangerous. 

yeah, believe it was Burnsville, and yeah they closed I think it's I35, was insane a couple days later it was like 50

I still love the blizzard warnings in the Dakotas for 2-3'' of snow with 60 mph winds...now that's a blizzard haha (ground blizzard anyways)

you see my post a little bit up, described exactly that, was outside Minneapolis and literally 2" otg and completely white out, like 50-60mph winds and cold as I ever felt.

Yep... 20 f or lower.  Svr 10 f or lower

 

I thought I remembered 96 still having a temp requirement, am I mistaken, when exactly did they nix that? if you recall.

Like the places in the Midwest that verify blizzard with no snow falling.

yeah them ground blizzard deals are crazy, I went through one with only a couple dry inches otg, crazy whiteout

By wiping down & tanking up my tractor this afternoon, I came back in to check trends?  The old don't touch the money curse come is starting to haunt me!  Worried about Murphy's Law syndrome.

oh that's nice, sit down and clean! no fighting the new snowblower

"Heavy wet snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 12
  to 18 inches. Winds gusting as high as 55 mph."

Whether it is or it isn't remains to be seen, but I'm not sure what would result from this forecast besides a blizzard.

I would love to see it verified, I believe I've only seen it verified a couple times inland in my life, that's usually relegated to the coast where those sustained winds are common, but near the coast with this one may not get three hours of 1/4mi vis snow, hopefully for there I'm wrong... my area doesn't see winds sustained above 35 during storms often, it's usually after when the NW screaming winds come

more reasonable totals imho

They went from super conservative to having George write the AFD, what is going on there 

as long as the B word doesn't get tossed out there, we're good... that's like the kiss of death

ALY hoisted WSW for my area now, not Wavering on the totals either, still not sold yet but damn if all snow maps and NWS maps have been consistent for a couple days now, we shall see, excited regardless! game on

ALY AFD says WSW will be hoisted once the model consensus occurs..HA, so basically a now cast event, I like how basically all models snow maps, and weather service forecast maps keep hammering my area, but I'm still not wavering from the 8-12 until we get within 24 hours and we have a solid alignment...one thing is certain though, this is going to be a bomb, fun times!
