Disco/Nowcast/Observations for SWFE on Monday/Tuesday Snow to ice

[Damage In Tolland]

Snowing nicely in North Haven with ground coated.

Guessing it snows at home till 4::00-5:00 before ice

wish I was kidding, but they are paranoid over there...

They are gun shy after the event when the unpredicted snow came in what December i think. Our schools had buses stuck out on hills until 5pm so now they don't take chances. however that being said ours get out at 1 should be nice and slick so it really makes no sense! Snow here is picking up a bit still light to moderate with a coating.

I have to laugh every time i see these early school dismissals, You would think you guys live in the Carolinas

[CoastalWx]

That area of stronger lift and returns I mentioned moving into CT might give areas south of HFD a nice burst of snow.

None now no

RIght? Its a joke, every mom has an SUV here, if you can drive in a dusting or coating, you have some serious issues, I remember driving on 95 back in 10-11 with feet of snow cars abandoned it was awesome!

Yeah that's what I'm watching over the BGM area.

 

In general though the radar looks putrid as Will would say. I think for many areas this will bust.

[ineedsnow]

going by the radar and obs to the west we might have a couple hours of pretty good snows then over to light zr thinking 2 inches max around here

Same here. And in my experience, early dismissals just lead to more chaos with people scrambling to get out of work and get to their kids. Our district actually has scheduled early-release and late-arrival days to accommodate staff training, and even those are disruptive. 

 

Anyway, back to the weather at hand: Despite my recent sour posts I'm of course looking forward to seeing some precip. It's the only winter we've got.... 

[ineedsnow]

I honestly dont think it looks to bad for a couple hours of fun

Yeah that's what I'm watching over the BGM area.

Radar looks really good from River west. An over performer?

In this city up here, The school dept does not do early dismissals ever, There is either school or no school, And typically it all depends on the time when it falls and how much, It has to be at least 3-4" before they call it here

It actually looks AWT for here in CT I think... up north is really what I was talking about.

Every town has sodium chloride, And some use a liquid calcium chloride as a pre treat...............

Light snow has commenced here in downtown Hartford according to someone.  I'm too far away from the window to really see but it does look real light.

[snowman21]

Light snow has ended here for now. Just a few spits of flakes every now and again. We'll see what happens when some of those darker echoes over Rockland and Westchester get here.

[SR Airglow]

Still light to occasionally moderate snow here, flakes getting bigger now.

Yeah it looks pretty bad up here honestly. I bet we get 2".

[ineedsnow]

looks like we change over quick I guess we wait and see

THE ONLY REAL CHANGE WE MADE TO THE FORECAST WAS TO LOWER SNOW

ACCUMULATIONS A BIT IN OUR SOUTHWEST ZONES. THE WARM MID LEVEL AIR

COMES IN PRETTY QUICK ACROSS SOUTHWEST MA/NORTHERN CT...SO MOST

ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE AN INCH OR LESS IN THIS REGION. ACROSS MOST

OTHER AREAS AN INCH OR TWO OF SNOW IS EXPECTED...WITH PERHAPS SOME 3

INCH AMOUNTS ACROSS SOUTHERN NEW HAMPSHIRE THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.

Wonder if interior stays below 32 all day tomorrow?

[Typhoon Tip]

Current rad sfc/obs trend as though the last couple of NAM cycles are not moist enough for E NY - SNE (above the Pike).    Have to see how much gets absorbed by evaporation.   Still not talking about a big deal or even moderate event, just that a burst of snow might get visibility down to a 1/2 mile at times for a couple of hours given NWS' radar mosaic loop.

mid 30s maybe? It's going to be a chilly day. I tickled the high down from 42 to 39... but it may need more tickling.

I only gave BOS around an inch with the potential for two inches if we get into a decent band or the stuff in nrn NY state holds on..but high confidence of an inch for now. Not that it matters much..lol.
