Snow has started here. Let's see how long this lasts before turning to rain.

I don’t get the angst. This storm has looked like puke for even the most favorable sne locations for days now.

Im pretty over this winter as a whole. Nothing really redeeming to speak of. At least in more recent ratters there has been considerable stretches of decent weather, and at least we knew it was garbage.

There's still 6 weeks and 3 days left. What if another Feb 2015 is on its way?

Sun's out here. Went from the last of the light snow to sun in about an hour.

Using the CT River as the dividing line is dumb anyway because then basically 80% of New England is considered "east." CON-WST roughly if we're going by land mass.

It wouldn’t surprise me if we start seeing some winters where the south coast and islands fails to receive 1 inch for the entire winter. Not very often but some years I guarantee will be snowless. 

We had under 10 inches in 06-07 in SE CT, and a couple others after that around 11-12-13 inches, but under an inch will be pretty tough to do even in the snow hole of SNE.

Middle of the night?

The dew points are pretty impressive.  Mid-upper 50s NYC to ORH.

Sun went down almost 4 hours ago?

Damn 60s to near 70 NYC metro in the middle of the night in mid-December - impressive warmth.

Light snow and snow pellets here. First flakes of the season.

Some people received a pleasant surprise in Lawrence on their annual flood insurance premium.

All due to FEMA overhauling it's risk assessment nationwide.

Good luck affording that monthly premium increase.

it's worse in Florida where this may have the largest impact. Rates will increase up to 18% per year until they reach market rates in a state where some parts are too risky for private insurance, and we're talking many miles inland too, so you can imagine how many thousands, maybe millions, of people this will hurt.

GYX got a new office? Nice to see they aren't abandoning WFOs with all of the new offices being built in recent years (e.g. CTP, BOX).

People in Maine can't grow their own tomatoes? That's a weird one. I can have all the tomatoes I want in my garden.

They should use the PRISM model to generate the maps since it has resolution to 800m and a systematic method to determine normals in places with sparse observations or lack of history.

I like how the map has a little dot of <25 right over GON. The map knows.

Frost advisory and freeze warnings up for interior southern CT tonight.

If we're setting records for warmth, doesn't that mean it's something that's never happened before?

"New snow accumulation 108 to 114 inches." If they had high speed internet access I'd move there.

How did Mass. get its power back on so fast? When Conn. has lost that many customers it took 1-2 weeks to get everyone back on.

Winds ripping pretty good here on the sound. Probably sustained 30s gusting to 50 now. Wasn't expecting this kind of wind from this storm.

Mass. and RI should get an influx of Connecticut power crews to help as the state is basically fully restored.

How many outages so far for CT Seversource?

1,016

Wind advisory needs sustained 31+ or gusts 46+.

Yeah it looks low because it was issued a day ago. They aren't going to go nuts with winds until there is more certainty.

What was the low at HVN? 68? 66 at BDR and GON. None of these will stand anyway... midnight lows coming tonight.

Where's Phin to tell you all to just get it over with and move south?
