NY mesonet max gusts so far today...

Not sure how far south core of the strongest winds will build? Northern CT / MA border air could be the southern limit, but it's a fluid setup and could come further south. NY site I referenced had 4 gusts; 55, 62, 66 and 72!!!

NY MesoNet at Ticonderoga just reported 72 mph...

Agree... With our data checking that's my general memory as well. The thing that seems to stand out more than anything right now to me, is the relative crappy nature of Aprils these days...

Final for me will be 12.0"

The 700 fronto analysis on the SPC meso-page was a thing of beauty. That was locked in early enough to jump all over the big central CT numbers. Best CT banding in at least 2 years.

Upgrade should have been made by 5 or 6 am once the banding signal was a lock...

What are you seeing locally Ginx

Thank you...

What an idiot he is... Sometimes we go and picnic in the deep woods of West Hartford where 15+ inches are on the ground... Lol

11" here in Burlington... A non elevation event; all about where the best banding setup. So great to see a positive bust; especially after the horrific trends yesterday...

I'm actually in favor of being able to do that... Or at least change to a delay? They all use email or text blast anyway...

That's exactly the main reason. That's ok as long as everyone understands there are going to be the occasional bust...

Your right. It usually only happened when a storm was underway during the afternoon or evening. It is now the norm...

These early calls are the function of parents demanding earlier and earlier decisions going back about 5 to 10 years ago... I've been apart of this trend for years and it was only a matter of time before it happened. Nobody wanted to wait until daybreak even though there were red flags this afternoon. I'm surprised a situation like this hasn't occurred sooner. But I am a bit shocked by how ugly this snow trend has gotten. I never understood the need to cancel the afternoon or evening before, but parents are adamant... I think districts should be able to alert folks to the ongoing trend and reasses in the morning. They all use the same alerting system... And it is still early enough in the evening...

Agree,,, should be a solid hit...

How are you feeling about southern Fairfield County?

I warned my 100 districts at 2 pm to not jump on early decisions...

Cape districts have announced... I'm in the process of telling everyone to not do anything... If 18z runs follow euro trend then we are cooked... Not sure they will..

Yep... I'm in favor of a law that allows only 2 globals and 1 meso to be viewed for the duration of the storm's forecast period; let's say starting at 5 days out. Once you've picked your models you are locked in... No changes allowed... Lol

Love seeing that moist flow plowing westward into the cold dome... great inflow, as depicted...

Yep... Still decent snows but 700 in particular is not ideal for srn CT... Still wiggle room to watch...

Could be a heck of a deformation band somewhere across south-central to northeast Mass??? Room for this to shift around in the next couple of days so anyone from northern CT north and northeast should be interested in how that shakes out. Going to be a zone of great rates for several hours...

Agree

Yep... Discount the sheared option at your own peril. Not betting it but I refuse to throw out any option given the potential for more or less interaction, and or more or less suppression. Given we are still in 72+ hour range, we'd be foolish to discount anything.
