    That was our first winter in Greenfield. Big December IIRC. Great winter overall. I remember my neighbors, who were all lifers here, saying "it was a good old fashioned Greenfield winter". Coming from Cambridge I was just glad to finally have off street parking! lol

    You probably (and rightfully) had that drawn up in your mind days ago but stayed level headed to ingest any potential model surprises inside 24 hours.
  3. HIPPYVALLEY
    In all seriousness it is more the exception than the norm to see a cold press dominate a SWFE.
  4. HIPPYVALLEY
    The sleet will do that. His new snowblower will be rendered useless by the ice encrusted sea of pellets.

    Surface temps for most of CT stay below freezing for much of CT on most models I've looked at tonight. SOmnebody is getting a good slug of ice tomorrow. Kevin is going to be secretly crestfallen when he gets a nice SN/PL event but other CT peeps are posting pictures of ice encased landscapes and skaters on side streets and town sidewalks across Central CT.

    Maybe at the end when it is a light foggy mist to put a surreal enhancement on your snow/ice encased surroundings.

    25/18 Overcast

    You're good for 2-4" and then some paint peeling pingers to strengthen the pack.

    FWIW that French Meteo model seems to agree with a fairly strong mid-level warm push up to or just beyond the Pike. Pretty juicy look on it though.

    You're getting a lot of winter precipitation tomorrow, hope for your sake it is SN/PL and not FZRA. Somebody is getting an ice storm though, that's pretty well hinted at in more than a few models.

    Good lift FTW! We'll see, I'm sticking with my 4-6" call from Saturday but not sweating p-type issues at least.
  12. HIPPYVALLEY
    Yeah, despite calls for days of snow I'm thinking half a day of snow here but it should be a productive half day of snow.
  13. HIPPYVALLEY
    There are not many folks I would trade locations with for SWFE systems. I rarely jackpot but I'm always late to the pingers.
  14. HIPPYVALLEY
    Nobody should ever ignore potential speed of the mid-level warming in these events. The big question for some of the CT peeps is it a pack building sleet fest or full on 6+ hour ice storm?
  15. HIPPYVALLEY
    Pickles favorite Burlington-WRF model has a lot of Freezing Rain for CT. Even several hours into Hartford.
  16. HIPPYVALLEY
    Well, downstream if I'm watching the radar and the coast is getting Inv snow while skies are clearing here. ; )
  17. HIPPYVALLEY
    There will be weenie hand wringing late into the night watching the downstream radar.

    ? Are you staying in SE CT for this one?
  20. HIPPYVALLEY
    We tried to tell them?
  21. HIPPYVALLEY
    Some will be disappointed that they don't stay all snow tomorrow.
  22. HIPPYVALLEY
    I would certainly keep one eye on the mesos tonight and if they ramp up the speed and extent of the mid-level warming as we get closer. Not hard to envision sleet getting to the Pike or beyond before retreating back. Parts of CT definitely in the FZRA crosshairs.
  23. HIPPYVALLEY
    I obviously don’t have any specific numbers but it seems to me that probably 75%(?) of these setups are generally congrats Rt 2 corridor from me to Ray and obviously wiggle room N and S of that line.
  24. HIPPYVALLEY
    Those squalls are actually looking pretty impressive but usual hit or miss caveats apply.
  25. HIPPYVALLEY
    As I said earlier, if you are encasing snow covered branches with ice it could lead to problems when the wind kicks in.
