Idk. We didn’t close down here but WCs are below zero across a lot of MA.

Yeah nothing terribly impressive, at least down here, but the guidance is unanimous that the big cold sweeps in later this afternoon and evening. That’s the critical period for determining whether this brief blast is run of the mill or high end in parts of SNE. We know it’ll produce in NNE.

Just measured 28mph here at home otg

18.4/-1 here

Yeah, looks a little slower here. PWS in NW CT down in the teens now, however.

Midnight high of 31.6° lol

Mesoscale Discussion 0130 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0939 PM CST Thu Feb 02 2023 Areas affected...Northern into central PA...central NY...VT...and western NH Concerning...Snow Squall Valid 030339Z - 030745Z SUMMARY...Snow squalls could continue spreading east-southeastward across parts of the Northeast during the next few hours. Rapid visibility reductions in bursts of heavy snow are possible. DISCUSSION...Latest mosaic radar imagery shows a well-organized snow squall moving east-southeastward at around 30-40 kt across parts of central NY. This band is generally focused along the leading edge of a southeastward-advancing arctic cold front, which is expected to continue overspreading parts of the Northeast during the next few hours. Regional VWP data depicts 50 kt of west-southwesterly flow in the lowest 3 km, which combined with strong/focused forcing for ascent and pockets of conditionally unstable boundary-layer conditions preceding the snow squall, should support its maintenance with eastward extent. The primary limiting factor continues to be somewhat dry low-level conditions, though it appears that the aforementioned factors are generally compensating for this. Therefore, the potential for rapid visibility reductions in bursts of heavy snow should continue spreading east-southeastward across the Northeast during the next few hours before a gradual decrease in intensity/organization.

Our most recent fail from this to this Just ******* awful

Yikes, that’s not pretty.

Man, wish we were there. Good luck NNE.

I think it’s the WCs that are really the issue. We all joke around about fake cold but it’s the wind that really causes issues.

Thundersnow just outside of Watertown as the front pushes through.

It did look a little weird. It’s getting late in the model watching anyway. All this for cold smh.

We frigid.

Let’s get -10 back down to HFD

I had a friend show me an app with a high of 31 here tomorrow. Had no idea tomorrow would be frigid.

Welcome to the team. Go big or go home. It’s all we got.

Do you think it’s possible we see WC values lower than -30? Do you know the CT record?

We love to see it. Sucks, but it is what it is.

Euro basically held. Nasty stuff tomorrow afternoon.

It’s obscene, and has me thinking that while unlikely, we may very well be in a regime that blows past climatological minimums here in the lowlands of CT to produce an all time ratter. Sure, we can get a few inches on the front end of a SWFE, but everything that could go wrong has, and there’s no end in sight.

Maybe next winter.
