2.3" so just under an inch over the last hour. 

Hoping light snows will continue long enough to end up with 3".

Seems like that dryslot is filling to some degree. Hopefully we'll keep this nice bursty stuff going a little while longer.

been fun watching that across northeast PA. Wondering if that can even fill in some across the Lower Hudson. some nice s/w energy hanging back

Yeah we missed the best meat of that band it slid south and the northern part weakened a bit.  Still good snows coming down and low visibility here.

yup still coming down nicely! 

unfortunately I don't think I'll hit my forecast here but this is fun regardless. 

For some reason I thought I went 4-7" here but I checked my map and I am in the 2-4" zone so I will hit that. 

just measured 1.5"

Been dumping but with poor snowgrowth but snowgrowth has improved!

I posted around 3 95 was a standstill in both directions in Branford.

I remember seeing that and thinking to myself that I am glad Friday is not a day I go into Branford lol. 

Friend just called me. On the train into New Haven then has to drive to Meriden. Good luck

went from barely flurries to a quarter inch in less than 15 minutes here

was waiting for your post! This bodes well for me

It’s 19/7 here.  Lots of dry air to overcome.  

I am right on the edge on some of the heavier echoes so it can't be too far away. 

Still waiting here. I should be starting soon...I hope

Should be able to keep the banding going farther east...perhaps even some continued enhancement 

I don't think that is necessarily indicating a change to sleet, I think its indicating that as the DGZ begins to dry out behind the banding and precipitation rates taper off, precip could end as a bit of sleet pellets but that isn't going to negatively impact totals. All of the accumulation will have occurred by then

Well if there is going to be thundersnow should start seeing reports very shortly 

Cloud tops continuing to cool as well to the east which is a great sign

An inch in 30 minutes…let’s kill it boys!  

Awesome! God I hope I can get into this 

Just now, WinterWolf said:

You said we’d loose some in the beginning here’…I dint think we did.  But it’s all good. It’s a wall of snow. 

yup...what was lost was negligible but that is what was going to happen...come in like a wall where the banding outside of the banding is a bit of a different story. Like I'm waiting for snow here despite being under some returns. will take a bit here until those heavier echoes push east

I just said this in the obs thread, and got confused emoji..lol.  

Scott is talking about dry air more towards eastern MA and his area...it wasn't a concern here

Nice 3" report from Danbury 30 min ago

The llvl dry air is/was always a concern farther northeast. Not western or central CT. It was always to saturate quickly 

saw this pop up live on Radarscope!!!

   SUMMARY...Heavy snow bands will spread/develop southeast across
   upstate NY toward southern New England over the next few hours. Snow
   rates of 1-1.5"/hr are expected.

   DISCUSSION...Low-amplitude short-wave trough is progressing
   southeast across western NY/PA early this evening. Latest
   water-vapor imagery depicts a notable midlevel vort max southwest of
   Syracuse, and this is reflected well in radar data. Multiple heavy
   snow bands have developed ahead of this vort max, strongly
   influenced by low-level warm advection, extending across upstate NY
   into the lower Hudson Valley. Boundary layer moistening supports
   this with dew points now rising into the mid teens (F) where snow
   rates are increasing. Over the next few hours snow rates are
   expected to increase downstream across western CT and Long Island,
   largely in response to this well-defined short wave digging toward
   the northern Middle Atlantic. Snow rates of 1-1.5"/hr can be
   expected prior to the short wave passage.

There are some signals another max (albeit probably weaker than the main one) developing here...exactly what Ray was indicating
