gonna be hard to overcome this warm antecedent airmass, we're close to 45 with now muted sun, but we'll see what happens, expectations not high with this one...
still sticking with 4-6" in NWCT, with some higher amounts N and NW of my immediate area, unless we happpen to get in on some banding or the CCB good, which may be too late in developement for my area, but look good for ORH over to BOS, but temps marginal still in SNE.
you can see a nice little axis from about Newport up towards NAdams, where that good early banding set up, and I was on the bottom of that here, too bad that didn't rotate and pivot through the area
looking at the reports coming in, a general 3-6 with lollies looks like it, radar filling in west, but doubt that amounts to much during the day with marginal temps now
7" here, appears accumulating snow is about done, ripped nicely over night, vis was down under 1/4mi at times, nice to see winter again, almost 2' on the year now, a few more inches and it won't be officially the worst winter, snow wise here.
the way this winter has been, I'd be happy with this week just getting me more than 11", to surprise the lowest ever recorded here of 27.6", 15-16... currently sitting at 16 even after yesterday 1.3", this week does look good as currently shown for us in CT
1.25 on the day, like Will said, very sparkly in the light at night, nice little perfect dendrites too, i keep trying to get a pic of one but they're so dry they vaporize on contact with anything not very cold
someone mentioned how the NAM nailed the small event we're seeing today, I don't recall seeing it on other models, perhaps it's onto something, I mean we're closing in on 48hrs or so from go time, so within range
looks to me like the primary digs a bit more this run, still don't like the SE ridge though, think it's the doom of this, it has nowhere to go but shredded east, maybe I'm wrong, still not awful for south areas
second round of pixie dust has begun, had .8" from this morning, amazing that I'm excited about measuring snow in tenths...if I get another .4" I'll break 16 on the year!
unreal... excuse is we have to spend the money, so we get at least that allocated for next year, no thought into actually saving money... but making more potholes for job security come spring and summer, all at prevailing wage too...btw, official .8" today so far, nice little walk around in the snow was pleasant
sticking with 6-10" for NWCT up to SVT, that hasn't seemed to waver, that SE ridge is what's concerning as far as shredding this out and shooting it SE with that block
one thing that still concerns me is the antecedent airmass, we have yet to have a good one leading up to an event, marginal sfc temps, but colder aloft so it's promising
lock it in! I'm just over a foot from my lowest ever recorded 2015-16, and over 60" departure from seasonal snowfall avg... need to make up ground here and nickel and dime time is not gonna do it
