  1. At this point I’d be happy with last Sunday’s weather for the remainder of the winter. On to next year.
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Going all in on a GFS 10-day solution...what could go wrong?
  6. 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.
  7. Just 2” here...apparently still enough to close school though. Roads already mostly cleared.
  8. 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.
  9. 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!
  10. 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.
  11. pretty impressive rain totals in New London county ...NEW LONDON COUNTY... 1.9 W NORWICH 6.15 730 AM 10/17 HADS 3 SSW CENTRAL WATERF 6.14 700 AM 10/17 COCORAHS 2 ENE UNCASVILLE-OXO 5.68 700 AM 10/17 COCORAHS NEW LONDON 5.14 823 AM 10/17 CWOP 1 SW EAST LYME 4.82 600 AM 10/17 COCORAHS 3 WNW OAKDALE 4.41 700 AM 10/17 COCORAHS 2.0 SE NORWICH 4.40 700 AM 10/17 CO-OP OBSERVER 3 NNE NORWICH 4.38 700 AM 10/17 COCORAHS 1 NNW NEW LONDON 4.35 650 AM 10/17 COCORAHS NEW LONDON 4.34 821 AM 10/17 CWOP
  12. 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
  13. Been pretty slow going here this far...probably
  14. 3.5” here...biggest snow since November and 3rd day in a row with measurable snowfall. Is this what deep deep winter is? .
  15. GFS says I triple my seasonal snow total in the next 100 hours...I just don’t see that happening.
  16. been under it here in Clinton for a couple hours...have picked up a couple inches. Looks like it may be getting ready to fizzle out shortly though
  17. fortunate to get stuck under the same band down here. Only thing that prevented a complete disaster here...might still manage 5", would've been 3" at best without it.
  18. dang...only about an inch back this way. intensity has picked up a bit in the past 1/2 hour, just getting into the edge of that deform band. my nowcast senses telling me we don't sniff the higher range of forecasts back this way...should still be good for 5-6" so long as we are solidly under some deform snows for a bit.
  19. First flakes falling now near the shoreline. And with that I’m off to bed.
  20. Agreed u can't go 6-36"...but also not wise to go with a biblical number as your upper bound when your on the western fringe and there's a great degree of uncertainty. What's the harm in a middle of the road forecast of 12-20"? Really think many got carried away in the hype and the last minute nature of this storm, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Nice little band for you guys. Wish it would spiral back this way and give us a final hurrah...but looks like just a few flakes. What's your total that way. About 13-14" here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. All the more reason to have been more conservative back that way. Too much love for the Euro this time around. People I think forget one of the things that makes it so great is its consistency. And even when it's wrong, it can be slow to correct....which is unfortunately what happened here. When it started making small shifts east while several other models had already made larger jumps east, that should've been a clue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
