Yeah I'm about as far south as you can go in town, a little north of East Rock. That sudden transition you describe is super cool. I'm not surprised they were ripping some fatties up by Broken Arrow. That area is the Lunenburg of Hamden.
Yeah, I mean maybe he said that because this storm does a loop de loop like 1888, but it's a totally different air mass and the system doesn't have that bent back north/south oriented front feature.
