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

For sure

Went to go wash dishes look outside 2 minutes later...everything is all covered!!!!! wooohoooo

yeah that back edge approaching quick. folks under the banding though are good for a bit though

was waiting for your post! This bodes well for me

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

Awesome! God I hope I can get into this

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

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

should be close to go time here

BGM closed!

That was around the time BDL used to not measure correctly

I had to turn off mPING reports. 8,000,00 report about how sidewalks are being covered with snow. I'm looking for totals and trying to decipher rates. Don't need to know your sidewalk is covered

This really got solidified quickly. This is a phenomenal sign

the is a well defined warm front. this along with the fronto has to yield encouragement for along and EOR.
