In a lull at the moment 

Clouds, but certainly has that snow feel to it outside. Up to 26F

Nice 00z run of the NAM along the S coast of CT.  

3K is freaking sweet. Sometimes you got to smell the rain in order to get the best snow.  But it’s iffy with temps possibly getting up to 34 during the “height” of the short lived storm.

The reports out of there are crazy. Sustained! Winds over 60 mph and over 2 feet of snow. Now that is a blizzard..

Branford. I can always go stay with my aunt in Windsor Locks during the good snow events  

How is the mill rate? When I moved from West Hartford to Windsor Locks my car insurance dropped like $50 a month or something. windsor Locks I think has 4th lowest mill rate.

A friend of mine from school is looking to buy a house and myself and another friend would essentially rent out rooms..but I'm fine with sacrificing some snow. I'm not a fan of driving in that type of weather anyways...heck, I hate driving in rain when it's dark. I can't see at all

27.74, which is really good for down here. I certainly could recommend areas in Milford to move too as well.

Also you will almost always be driving to catch severe. As you know the coast is where storms go to die lol

eliminating the cuteness beginning today!

When did you move to Milford? I'm actually aiming to move down there sometime in the spring. Can't wait...only a 20-minute commute to work as opposed to an hour 

Bought a house here back in September, but actually had been renting in Milford prior to that for about 4 years.  The downtown area is up and coming and you can get a nice house down here for about half the price you would pay down in the Gold Coast of SW CT. Taxes are low too. I would definitely recommend as long as you don’t mind sacrificing some snow lol.

My commute is only 10 mins. My fiancee takes the train to Stamford but even then it’s still only about 45 mins.

I am going to make some slight adjustments such as bringing the 3-6'' farther south and just put a 1-3'' along immediate shoreline

Seems like a good idea.

At this time don't see any need to make adjustments from this. Did receive a comment yesterday that I am probably too cute with southern CT there...which I am. Sometimes I like to be cute though. I always just feel though coastal CT somehow always finds a way to flip in these setups. Could have just moved the 3-6'' line farther south and then have a 1-3'' shading 

As a SW CT resident for life I would say we almost always get more than SE CT. 2-4 for all of SW CT, maybe 3-5 up toward Reading/Ridgefield etc then confine the Coating - 2 to SE CT. Just my opinion but overall a solid map.

Looks like folks no longer care for 3-6”. 

I’m in if it’s 3-6. Hadn’t checked recently and was just thinking 1-3, which is bleh. But the newest models have me a little more invested now.  Daytime snow too.

Same result as 12z. Worse for basically everyone not in the boros or Nassau 

No it’s definitely colder. Precip looks good too. Don’t see how this isn’t a better run for the majority in this sub forum.

NAM hasn’t run yet on TT. Is that a TT only issues or is the NAM having issues? Perhaps James is currently manipulating it to give him the Thursday snowstorm he wants so badly?

Going to the berkshires for a weekend getaway this weekend.  Last year it was 0F. This year I might be able to pack a pair of shorts. Sheesh.   Hopefully the rain can stay to a minimum.

All snow now. Coming down nicely. Temp dropped to 36.

80/20 rain snow mix here. Forgot to check the ole thermometer .. it’s a balmy 38 out bleh

Man that LI stuff is so close to me. Cmon little storm you can do it

Still wayyy out of range..unless you're referring to early developments that could translate downstream

Not sure if he is comparing it to 12z? But every six hours it goes out to hour 33. So 18z is the most recent extended range HRRR. It also keep DC in the 40s and rain so I would take it with a grain of salt.

3k looks solid for SE areas.  Let’s keep the trend going.  
 

Edit: Though useless the extended HRRR has snow through all of CT at the end of its run. Sweet.

Just saw a flock of geese head south that usually results in snow in two weeks. Let’s see if that’s just a myth or not. That means we would get a snow event around January 10th or so! 

Currently 50 degrees and cloudy!

Probably more accurate than looking at the GFS at the very least.

Just dropped Comcast in favor of a small NY company thats been blanketing West Hartford with fiber......I get 150 up and down for $50/month....and its tested very very consistently since day 1......I've had it about 2 weeks or so....love it

UI is backed up beyond belief right now with fiber companies trying to hook up to our poles. The backlog for a new company to hook up at this point can be measured in years , and they are already beginning to weigh down our poles that weren’t designed to handle all these cables in the first place. I certainly get why people want fiber though, that’s a good deal overall. 

Worst part is if a pole collapses during a storm you now not need just UI, but you also need all 8-10 fiber companies to come and put their lines back up before the pole can be deemed clear. LOL.  sorry anyways back to weather..

Now you are just being mean.

Well it is comforting to know that no matter how bad we get screwed, the New London area always gets screwed even worse.

2010. The same year snowmageddon dropped 30 inches 50 miles to my south with zilch where I am  when I was living in NYC. 

2010-2011 was the most memorable winter of my life. . I was going to quinnipiac at the time and it was just snow storm after snowstorm. Biggest pack I’ve ever had, was able to even build igloos big enough to have friends in them for college drinking shenanigans. Good times..

Hopefully this will be a little more exciting than last year squall.
