Still all snow here. Pretty good rate too, at least moderate. Would say a little over 2 inches.

Im asking this question here and elsewhere = what is causing the mid levels to torch ? I know I can look at surface temps and radar tomorrow but Is there anything that we should look for now or hope for tomorrow to see if the mid levels are indeed torching or not ?

Look at correlation coefficient on radar. Tells you real time where the sleet line is, which is an indication of where the upper levels are going above freezing.  I use my RadarScope app but the below link works as well:

Extended HRRR looks like a solid 2-5 before the changeover. For whatever that’s worth.

He was in Fairfield.

850s torch as the storm low near the lakes come north. We need a secondary and a weaker lakes low.

We have a much better source of cold air to work with. This one could actually put up a fight unlike that last storm.

6 year anniversary today of one of the greatest blizzards in New England history - Blizzard of 2013. Widespread 2 to 3 ft of snow with gale to storm force winds from CT to ME.

Best storm of all time for me. Presidents days blizzard is what started my weather hobby,  but Nemo was the most memorable. Just epic.

Navgem has a huge SE bias for as far back as I can remember. 

Why can’t this just happen every day lol so sick the way it just comes in out of no where.

This thing needs to fill in quick or it could be a bust for much of CT

Looks like it’s trying to based on the last few radar frames.

Don't get your hopes up too much down there...could easily be a flop lol.  

 It’s sad when an inch of snow is now considered getting your hopes up lol. All I actually really want is whiteout conditions for a solid 10 mins

Can’t wait for my biggest winter storm of the season.

cloud deck visible here to the west now...it's coming!!!!!  

Lol NOAA says it hits between 4-5 for us but looking at the radar I imagine it might be even sooner than that..

back in the late 90's there was a series of squalls that caused a 30-40 car pileup on I-95 near Clinton CT.

Ya I’m supposed to leave work around 4 but starting to think I may leave early just in case.  Not to mention it would be pretty cool to see the clouds approaching as I drive SE in 95.

That’s some strong wording “There is no safe place on a highway when a snow squall hits” damn.

A balmy 40F and rain

So it may mean nothing in the end but the NAM is so ridiculously different than its 12z run right now, it currently has a 994 off the GA Coast. Much closer to what the EURO has.

Still too Far East but talk about a huge shift west. 990 east of hatteras.

Few inches for D.C. 

Barely anything except  light snow for NYC and Boston .

Much better than what all the other models are showing. Hr 120 was close to something big for us

Euro actually is rather interesting..  the southern low at hr96 is way north of other models. And then there is a 985 bomb over ct at hr 120 lol

Way closer than any other model to doing it.. And way slower with the southern Vort as well. 

At hr 72 the euro has the low off the Florida coast while the CMC/GFS have the same southern low already north of Bermuda lol

Is euro gonna link the storm off FLA with the Midwest system?

Crazy driving to work today on I95, got on at exit 35 in Milford where it was just rain, but right when you hit the rest area at exit 41 in orange all of a sudden the tops of all the trees are completely glazed in ice. I can literally see from my office where the line of no ice/ice started. Didn’t go farther than 41 but down towards new haven looks completely covered in ice. Pretty cool.

This may be the first time I’m ever happy with 33F and rain lol keep that freezing rain out of here. Good luck to those in north CT, hoping it’s just a sleet storm for you. 

New London is at 31 yet here I am at 36. Real odd.

Everything has trended warmer in the boundary layer. Even the RPM is bringing the surface 0c isotherm to Hartford for a while in the morning Sunday. Not sure if that's overdone but it is notable that everything has come north some this evening. 

So the freezing rain can stay north of me? That would be great. Kevin can have it lol
