Beautiful morning.  Wall of heavy dense fog at 900'.

Enjoy the sunshine today.  Will be the last time we see it for 7 days

Getting totally destroyed with lightning and rain here in Woodbury/Bethlehem.  Lots of cloud to ground.  Minimal wind here, but 50mph gusts just to west.

Tip’s sun angle definitely felt today. Was sweating actually driving…didn’t even need heat on 

Tip's sun angle works great on the south side of structures.  But the north side of my house is icy tundra.  What makes it worse is that's the side of my property where the drainage occurs, so it's layer upon layer of ice build up on the sloped driveway, with very little melting during the day.  I often wonder why people don't consider such things when they design homes (or why people like me buy those homes). 

Give me one more blizzard (ice-FREE), or send me into May.

Ya first day going significantly above forecast closing in on 40.. ice in driveway starting to melt nicely 

Good meltage today.  Getting tired of the ice and dirty piles around here.  Don't hate me for that, but I'm ready to turn the corner after the last two weeks.

31 almost in Tolland. Looks like the bigger accretion might be done in CT. 

I think we're done here.  Then the heavy rains will melt the ice before the winds start pumping.

what's your ice accretion? 

1/4 to 1/3 inch.

HRRR fills in by 11am

Yeah...and looks like winds start to really crank around 8pm around us.

Creeping up. 28.2

28.2 here too.  I was wondering why my wind reading has been 0.  My anemometer is frozen solid.   

Neversource outages.  

Even my hickories and oaks are struggling in this.  Totally catastrophic.

3”. Seems like HRRR from last night was pretty spot on with changeover times. Sidewalk outside is iced up so definitely a period of FZRA. Sitting at 33F now.

HRRR nailed this precisely for my area.

Snow increasing and growth is better.  Solidly moderate.

Very happy for you guys.  What do you have on the ground/pack?

Heavy rain/sleet here now.  Freezing on contact.

Debating if I leave the 1/2 that is on the driveway or scrape it before the rain

 

I texted my plow guy and told him not to come.  Gonna wait for the heavy rains to flush it out.

Same here down to 28 again going to be wild when first light comes up 

I was cocked last night...left both sets of keys in the truck and didn't park in barn...can't open up doors.  

Temp dropping.  Down to 25.8.  Radar filling in to SW.  This is going to be extreme.  

I have never seen this much ice accretion.  Rock solid 1/3" over everything.  2.2" snow.
26.5F

It is really coming down . Not S+ but the kind where you rack up an inch or a bit more every 

For us,  it's all about getting enough tonight to preserve the damage the rain will do.  If we end up equal, it's a win.

ripping...vis under 1/4mi ..see the line progressing NE on CC in North NJ... just over 2 eyeballing, but it's the the pile up growth right now, need to keep it for a couple more hours

Yeah...nice echoes and backfilling...Danbury to the CT MA border, heading east.

That band is moving ENE towards N CT and boy does it look juiced 

You're gonna get in on it.  Nice development as it heads east.  Poundage here now.

Yes and it keeps on trending colder at surface.. 22z hrrr is not .73" qpf freezing rain over your hood

Let's hope.  21.3 here...hasn't budged yet in 3 hours.

Radar filling in nicely as the stuff out west moves ESE in here.. peak rates moving in for southern CT 

Yup.  Need that to keep filling in.  HRRR has it doing so.
