Yup 33.3 and almost all the snow is melted from the trees. Driveway and yard is caked good but the sun tomorrow should zap it all away. 

yup...sun during the day tomorrow with temperatures into the mid 30's...bye bye snow.

Melting quicker here than my melt incoming when the 12z EURO is congrats philly for Friday.. 

so much for low sun angle saving things...I mean we don't even have any sun and its melting. 

Would have needed a good 3-4" OTG. I don't care what the sun angle is or what the sky cover is...if its into the 30's anything less than that is going to melt, albelit slowly but still melt. 

Everything that fell here is all gone...melted caput. Only part of the yard that still has a coating is where we had the pool.so there is a random giant circular spot that has a coating of snow and that's it.

Never had a late start to the school day in my entire 16 years in school...

We used to be so upset because we'd watch the ticker at the bottom of the news and see all the districts around us closed but West Hartford either fully open or late start lol. But West Hartford did a damn good job with cleaning the roads which I'm sure was factored in.

Its rare but it has happened.  I think 2008 was the last time they did it here...  even 2015 we didn't... just went super late into June 

I want to say it was one of those monster winters we had in the early 2010's where it really got the discussion going. I don't even know how or why I know this because I didn't have any ties to the school system anymore but maybe just from West Hartford social media groups but I recall discussions about using days from April vacation because they had so many snow days and there were concerns because

1) you had to have 180 school days 

2) you can't go to school past a certain date in June 

Was pretty crazy because growing up in West Hartford, we hardly ever had full snow days. We would mostly have late starts (60-90 minutes) or if a storm was coming during the day, dismiss early. K-12 I would say the number of snow days I had was under 10. 

I was community college during that one winter (think it was 2015) and taking Differential Equations...class met Monday and Wednesday's and we didn't have a single Wednesday class for like 3 weeks lol. 

If anything round 2 may favor southern VT, southern NH, and probably central/eastern MA for maybe an inch or two of snow. I could see CT getting some very light snows but not really accumulating.

basically just flurries here with filtered sun poking through. In fact, snow has already melted off roofs and some surfaces...even the grass a bit

CT banned remote learning a few years back (in public schools) b/c it was such a disaster-so if there's a snow day it's getting made up in June.  

This didn't happened when I was in school (although maybe it was being discussed when I was in high school and implemented shortly after) but do they use days from like February or April break to make up for snow days instead of going deeper into June? I know some districts had done this. 

If roads are going to be messy, there really is no need in making people go out and travel, especially now with remote learning an option and remote work (obviously there are exceptions) but its disheartening when you hear and read of accidents because of weather and people are killed. No need to have busses out in these road conditions

Home Alone 3 is very underrated, and it’s especially a fun movie for winter weather weenies.

It’s not a classic like the first two, but the criminals are a lot smarter and dangerously shrewd.

100% agreed. 

It's extremely underrated. I remember when it first came out I didn't recall wanting to see it because it had none of the original cast but I remember watching it when I was sick...it was hysterical. 

parts of BGM CWA upgraded to a WSW. Been under a nice band there

That reminds me of Home Alone 3 when the burglars blocked off a road and cut down the street sign and replaced a mailbox to make the road entrance seem like a driveway

People laugh..but the negativity lately is overwhelming.  It’s snowing and beautiful out there this morning here.  Appreciate it. Place has become infected. 

Went outside earlier and enjoyed the quietness with just the crackling sounds of the wet snow hitting the ground. Peaceful and relaxing, good for the soul and mental health. 

Not surprising where the swath of accumulations have been 

All the hooplah about the snow and hardly any posts nor an obs thread lol

Very light snow falling, ground coated!

Hoping for 1.5” tomorrow and that will get me to about 7” for the season and only 93” away from 100”!!!

Shoreline probably still cooked but this is still looking like a solid 1-2" for most and the lucky ones will grab 3...maybe even 4" for those super lucky.

This is one of the most bizarre advisories i've ever seen. Winter Weather Advisory for sub-advisory snow. "up to two inches"

I think it also has to do with the timing plus the increased holiday travel...just a way to increase awareness 

Add "Atmospheric River" to the list of overused and ridiculous weather terms. 

PWM crushed on GFS for sure. Bufkit is pretty impressive there. If that inv trough does take shape and evolve as hinted, someone is going to get crushed. This argues for a foot

Really cranked up 

Yup...becoming pretty clear they may cash in pretty well from this. Also encouraging seeing the GFS remaining more juiced for all, but seeing the mesos, I wonder if there is some resolution influence going on and the GFS isn't  going to fully depict a similar look like some of the mesos are showing. 

Regardless, definitely feeling most should pick up 1-2" (coast may be burned though with marginal BL temps). Will be some surprises (Berk/NW Hills) that get 3-4". 

That's a pretty good hit from SW ME into S NH on the GFS...easily warning criteria there

I still like my one-and-done map from the weekend.

 

Looks very reasonable. 

I have yet to look in depth yet (haven't even checked out bufkit) but one killer here is ratios aren't going to be great (except far interior) and lift overall probably not terribly great across the region as a whole...but all of this is rather insignificant anyways given we aren't dealing with a high ceiling anyways.

Euro isn't that far off from the NAM solutions either...Euro is slightly juicier but not by a lot. I'd still be going 1-3" for most of SNE. I'd need more proof this system has the juice before putting a 2" floor on the forecast. 

Yeah if I was making a snowfall forecast now I would go in the 1-3" range for a large area...maybe something along the lines of 3-4" for the Berks and maybe far northwest CT.
