Mr. Windcredible!

Just had a brief shower with some small hail here

Power flickered and just heard a transformer blow. Must’ve been one just after where the line for our street splits off the main line, as power still on.

nothing too crazy here near the shoreline...inversion keeping things in check so far. Definitely hear the wind roaring about the treetops though.

power outages starting to creep up...especially SW CT. what's the over/under on # of outages today?

Could be the float is stuck, shut off the fuel valve and tap the float bowl on the bottom of the carburetor with a metal wrench a few times.

Yeah I was trying to get the carburetor apart as there were some YouTube videos saying the float pin tends to get dirty or get corroded...but I ended up stripping the last screw on the carburetor. I’ll give it a few taps and see if that helps.

Not looking forward to this...started up the generator today and it has a fuel leak. Wasn’t able to get it fixed. Hoping this one under delivers.

Jumped up a quick 5 degrees or so in the past 30-45 minutes...30.7F.

Closing in on 2” here...temp 25.2F and slowly creeping up.

I heard in CT they’re happy with 2-4” this year. 

At this point I’d be happy with last Sunday’s weather for the remainder of the winter. On to next year.

NYC is doing absolutely awful so far, barely over 2", not even one good event there just all tenths adding up.

 

I mean only 7" here...and I wouldn't consider any of the events I've had "good". Even the 3" event I had back in December left very little on the pavement. On the bright side...at least there won't be much/any snow on the ground to insulate the ticks for next weeks arctic blast

0-0" here...final call

Still below freezing here...30.7 per the new weather station, although I've heard some drips outside for the past hour so really haven't seen any significant accretion. I had about 0.7" combined sleet/fz rain...roads have a few slick spots but generally okay...only a 2-hr delay for the kids. 

I admit not looking hard at srn CT, but not sure I see damaging ice? Maybe a narrow area in srn CT gets good ice, but sleet seemed like a bigger deal near 84?

Right at the shoreline it’ll likely be a 31-32 deg fz rain deal, which certainly doesn’t spell disaster. In the 12 years I e been here I’ve never seen much more than a glaze to maybe 0.1”. I could see it being a bigger deal back W, the I-91/15 corridor and up to about 84 as you say. The Q River valley does a remarkably good job funneling down cold air towards HVN/BDR if the wind direction is right.

people, it's 10 + days out.. stop it!

 

Going all in on a GFS 10-day solution...what could go wrong?

Ended up with about 3” here

Mt. Tolland jacking every run..Kevins been running the HRRR this storm

HRRR is ticking up a bit with each run too. Calls for 1-3” look good at this point. Maybe someone sniffs 4” if banding sets up just right.

Just 2” here...apparently still enough to close school though. Roads already mostly cleared.

Nice mood snows here at the office in East Hartford...

Pretty much a snoozefest back at home as expected. Had about 0.6" yesterday afternoon and was over to plain rain by 5-6pm. Washed away overnight. Hoping tonight comes together and delivers a few inches...but I'm never confident in these types of scenarios when depending on re-development and a transition back to snow...rarely works out in our favor down in my neck of the woods.

Impressive trends the past 24 hours to get us into the action even along the shoreline. But between it still being a bit early in the season and a few days out, my expectations remain tempered here. Fully expecting this to tick back north at some point. Still, nice to have something fun to look at on Turkey Day!

And yeah....Euro still hitting 11/12-13 pretty hard. Obviously way out there in clown range, but there's been some multi-model support for something lurking in that time frame.

being on the shore I'm pretty meh on the 11/8-9 event...don't expect more than some mangled flakes on the tail end if anything. But next week looks interesting. Sub 30 snow on the coast in mid-November? Sign me up! Need to get it within 120 hrs first though.

pretty impressive rain totals in New London county

Been pretty slow going here this far...probably

Not sure why this cutoff...just saying probably only about 1/2” so far...still bare pavement...not a surprise given warm surface temps at onset...but flake size has increased so expecting things to pick up a bit now

Been pretty slow going here this far...probably

Meso discussion up for NYC metro / SW CT. Looking forward to seeing one later for SNE...always enjoy when the SPC gets into the action.
