Proof that people will steal anything.

I love the cutting board though…wish I shifted to that from a painted piece of wood sooner.

that is an awesome idea, my wife threw away our plastic one years ago, only wood now, will have to get one just for snow measuring... not in Waterbury anymore so I'm probably safe it won't get stole

I use a large white cutting board now

I used to have a 2x2 foot plywood with white lexan over it but it got stolen believe it or not, so I just use a 2'  sq piece with saran wrap 

30/26...first flakes here in Winsted 1330 hrs...

Agreed.  Since we are attached to Albany, I sometimes think we are afterthoughts when it comes to these things since most of there CWA is much further inland.

well they caved... whole state now under a warning, yeah!

I feel so left out here in Litchfield County (j/k).

The way I'm looking at it, if the wind performs close to what is predicted, +/- a couple of inches of snow will be immaterial.  I'm on top of a hill where the wind screams so measuring the snow will be a guess at best.

yup, I have a feeling they may join Box and Upton and upgrade, just so the whole state is covered, can't imagine eastern Litchfield cty doesn't at least experience blizzard conditions, latest AFD even mentioned it

I can’t imagine any NWS office out here issuing a Blizz Warning for under a foot though. 90% of the public doesn’t know the definition of it no matter how many times you tell them. 

so true 

looking like between 5-7 start time here, ramps up overnight, meaning I should wake up to over a foot if all holds... that's if I sleep...

Guess they’re not too worried about the GFS….  We Blizzard. 

now to get ALY on board and cover the state with the warning... I'm still weary, I've been down this road before, hope it stays course and doesn't rug pull last minute, or we subby suck for hours while it pukes flakes 10 miles away

That is going to be some absolutely epic banding 

I'll take that band locale all day long please...

amazing shot!

yeah my dad has a similar one of me in Waterbury during clean up, we lived in very close 3 family homes and there was a drift up to the second floor porch in our backyard, the way the wind whipped and swirled amazing drifts, I remember standing under a wave drift after 96 clearing for my grandma, just hoping this stays course and we get good banding rotting over head here puking flakes for hours...

Feels like people still have no idea this is coming. Last storm the grocery stores in Boston were overrun the day before. Today they were no busier than usual.  

my wife works at s&s in Torrington, was mobbed Fri and said it's getting crazy now... still no warning from ALY, odd

I mean…come on  

that is quite sexy right there!

kinda surprised ALY has yet to issue a warning for at least southern Litchfield cty... looking very likely 12-20 across the state, Blizzard warning and WSW already up from Upton to BOX...

Most models starting to show this.. its time to get excited WOR folks.  1.5-2.5” qpf likely with more in banding and 50-60mph winds 

2013 redux? mega banding and deform just pivoting and rotting over our head would be outstanding! watches should be up by ALY by now I would have thought. gonna be some verify blizzard conditions on the coast and possibly away from it as well. only time I've seen blizzard conditions verify away from the coast is 78, unless I'm forgetting something.

it's now 50/50 SN IP here but light 

I just took a ride to Meriden from here, was doing nothing when I left, began a light mix in thomaston on the way south, was wet all the way to Meriden, on the way back, mixed bag in Waterbury, accumulated sleet and snow on the highway in thomaston and some moron started fishtailing right in front of me and then proceeded to spin out and hit the wall... just north of Torrington all cat paws for over an hour and about 2" at least down all snow, crazy mix driving through it 

3 minutes ago, The 4 Seasons said:

so when do we start talking about the mix line? I can already hear folks bringing up Mar 2017 and Dec 2020

(but that aint happening considering the path)

I'll take a 3/17 here all day long, that was a great storm here anyway.

still about 36-48 hours to onset, don't know if this can come any further NW or N, but it can still trend back SE, let's hope we get consistent runs from here on to go time.

Jan 2022 literally made me nauseous...just physically ill.

yeah that sucked, but I think 1/15 was worse because I knew 1/22 wasn't coming back this way off the jump, 1/15 looked good region wide, while it was better than 1/22 in terms of accumulating snow, it was sand for a good portion while SE areas cashed in big, that sucked bad just watching it dump and pivot east of my area 

looking at maybe an inch here and maybe a glaze to boot, meh, I'd sacrifice today for a better Monday outcome.

Maybe, doesn't have to be, could be a Juno where it gets to you only and I smoke exhaust from your ccb .. nice banding showing up on guidance hopefully it spreads the wealth

I've seen this movie before, my area gets stuck in subby between two bands and am halved the accumulating snow surrounding me, we'll see how it plays out, GFS looks good here, euro SE better, while we stat pad a few

I'm not getting pulled in until I see three consistent runs across multiple model platforms, ain't falling for that again, but damn!

I'd prefer today's weather over ZR, unless it's drizzle on top of snow that fell, I can't stand ice on roads or walks, just a nuisance... snow, sleet or nothing, just my opinion, I know some like it

Nuke for the Cape...widespread 8-12 for most of SE New England.

 

that's a lot of QPF from the Delmarva ots, damn... I'll take a half inch of QPF as snow tho and not complain vs a whiff 

34 and drops falling now, maybe squeeze out a few mangled flakes here, but I'd bet Norfolk center accumulates, in these marginal type deals I've driven up the hill and they have full coverage and I had nothing, that's crazy, it's literally a few miles as the crow flies but a few hundred extra feet elevation
