CT Rain

I was going to say. Epic scooter sh*t streak over QC/NB by 12z Monday on the GFS.

Hopefully it was just a one time thing

Snowing pretty good here

Close for far NW CT too. Maybe even some ZR?

Yeah a NE wind is good for HVN. Once you start going more ENE you pork SE CT as some milder air starts to come in with that easterly component.

Son of Sandy too was a foot down in parts of coastal CT

I measured 8.0" actually. Had 1.00" of liquid in there too but there was some freezing rain and sleet on top.

How much did you get?

The winds are really picking up though. BDR gusted to 37 knots.

Looks like some bad data to me

Some depolarization streaks over SE Mass... so probably a bit of thunder somewhere.

MOS busted big last night because of the cirrus shield... but NAM and GFS MOS were printing out 11F for BDL. So the air mass was pretty sweet.

I mean didn't help that some of the other stations in the market had 1"-3" for Hartford right before the first flakes fell. There were a few things that jumped out at me. 1) The air mass was *really* anomalous out ahead of this thing. Looks like BDL tied their record low max temp. A 1040 hpa high really primed us. 2) The synoptics and mesoscale ingredients were there for a really nasty thump and at least .2 or 3 hours of really good rates. The NAM, RGEM, ECMWF all were pretty cold for at least a good chunk of the thump. 3) the WPC snow probabilities were beyond atrocious I have no idea wtf was going on with those.

There were some really *awful* forecasts for this storm and I'm not sure why. Outside of some of the coastal areas it wasn't too tough compared to some of them.

8.0" here with 1.00" of liquid. I imagine we were closer to 9" before compaction but oh well - couldn't get home in time.

Here come the pingers

Updated call.

I'm thinking 4-7 most of CT.

When you read about how these algorithms work for models like the NAM and GFS you realized how effed they are. Pretty much sell all clown maps.

Not sure there would be more here than areas north and east. Seems like the omega thump is really maximized to the southwest.

I feel pretty good about 3-6" statewide here - except for SE CT. Pretty epic omega thump coming in which should get stuff done. Like Will said though, wouldn't take much to get 7 or 8 in some areas.

GFS still doesn't like bringing the stuff north. All about the follow up wave.

An atmospheric pig pile. Just like Kevin likes.

Going to be a hellacious thump.

I'm surprise people are so conservative here in CT. Obviously no BL issues and mid levels are looking colder.
