32.4F here now. Still think it’s at least another 90 min though until we creep below freezing. It’s mostly 32s until you get to near Andover and Georgetown where the 30s and 31s show up. 

Is there some kind of latent heat process that slows it from 32.00001 to 31.99999?

Also, is 32.00000 freezing? Or is a number that precise a conceptual fallacy to begin with.

Weird, might just be an app thing then.

In February of 2016 we had an icing event here in N ORH.   Our local school district had a 2 hour delay.  
 

Out friend’s daughter was driving herself and her brother to school when she hit ice and spun out on Rte 62.  She was killed instantly and her brother was seriously injured. 
 

Take ice seriously.    

100%...you dont f around with ice. I'm not even particularly happy my gf went to work in Farmington today.

43 and rain, bitch

Maybe you should contact your local school board and volunteer your expertise to make the call about if and when road surfaces might become hazardous!  And of course, give them 100% certainty about road conditions, sidewalk & parking lot conditions during the 2-hour window needed for a complete bus run on early dismissal days.  Maybe also take on all the legal and insurance liability should you be off by a few minutes and an icing situation causes a bus accident... Make sure you coordinate with all other towns your town may share bus routes & programs with?  Lastly, when they ask you about the WXA that is effect, tell them not to worry about it's just a NWS scare tactic.  Of course, if travel becomes hazardous during the bus trips home, get ready for your phone to ring endlessly as parents scream at you that there was a WXA being in effect!   Just some comments from a guy who has spent more than 30 years fielding questions and organizing conference calls with dozens (90 to be exact) of Superintendents at 4 am during potentially hazardous conditions.  They all want to have normal days.  But they will almost always err on the side of safety unless the confidence level of no chance of hazardous travel is high.

 Many towns in CT are now closed

Dont get me wrong, I dont want my kids on the bus when it freezes

@Damage In Tollandis your station not reporting?

My town cancelled school...if there is a candidate for not getting below 0 before the precip shuts off, it's me. But it probably still will.

35.1 and rain in Newtonville. 

Will it get below freezing before the back edge of the precipitation comes through Boston?

If not, there are going to be many angry parents...

Yes dummy

Meh. The winters are getting disrupted, period.
 
Making climate numbers off over producing minor systems that are benefitting from a theta-e bloated ambiance, meanwhile winters leaving huge potential consummately untapped … is a weirdly reduxing behavior and is different.  And a random Feb or Mar that didn’t leave as much on the table …? Yay  Those are exceptions to the rule and don’t abase the longer term.

I can’t allow myself to hide behind climate numbers to avoid admitting an unwanted change - that elides the reality. 

kind of like watching a train wreck in slow motion

We’ll some thought that once that cold air started to push, it would come faster and more impressively than has been modeled. (The Pope had been saying this). 

Can I have some of this cold push? Because the only thing I'm pushing right now is 50 lol

FWIW for the ice lovers south of the Pike... the 00z NAM is quite a bit colder (and faster) than the 18z was.

early dismissal plans ftl?

What the heck is up with the NAM bringing sig ice to NYC and to the beach of rhode island and southern MASS, but most of CT not that much? It goes well south to the west and east of CT? Is that even possible?

we scalp

A lot of us expect the low level cold to overperform. That cold is really accelerating down the HRV and eventually it will in the CRV.

except in the protected hills of tolland county, ct, of course. where we bask in our snow fog

maybe because the NAM has 31 at 3z for Albany lets see if they bump up soon

we were talking about the RAP, now you've moved on to the NAM? I guess I can't keep up

Just now, RUNNAWAYICEBERG said:

Ineed is working very hard though so the boy deserves a little ice storm. Pay him with zr.

he will get some. but not because the rap is 5 degrees to warm at hour 1.

Am I allowed to laugh at this?

Just now, ineedsnow said:

its 37 here not sure where that station is maybe higher up?

You think it's going to pin every single micro hill and valley? If your station is the 37, that's the lowest in the area. Anywhere from 37-41. It's fine.
