Kick-Off '25-'26 Winter Storm Obs

[WxWatcher007]

We rocking. We rolling.

[dryslot]

You can see the area where the fronto bands will possibly set up later.

 

[TheMainer]

Steady snow in PQI, visibility down to about 1 mile from what I can tell, very surprised, might be a good sign of things to come.

I’m assuming that one over in Southern Vermont Northwestern Massachusetts will be the one that translates through my area over to your area

HRRR and RAP are showing it nicely. Longer duration too.

Yes it does, Could rip 1-2"/hr rates when that's nearby.

[Ginx snewx]

32⁰ light mist

S flow aloft. It’s let up nere now despite the band being overhead.

Thanks for that info. It’s sort of like when we have the strong east northeast wind and we get those bands that look like they’re off to the east. Starting to pick up here again, so I’m sure it will by you too.

[Spanks45]

Back to a 50/50 sleet and snow mix...temp still holding at 30.7⁰

[40/70 Benchmark]

29.5

S-

[AstronomyEnjoyer]

22.6°, light/moderate SN, looks to be about 1.2" total new.

Just looked at the 14z HRRR, and wow, going to need some nice banding for those totals.

@40/70 Benchmark you should flip and pound later. Don’t forget to put that red gimp ball in my mouth while you do so.  

...I'm good, dude-

[CoastalWx]

Gonna be more ZR than anticipated since models were terrible with the temps just inland 

[Typhoon Tip]

aggregate size has decreased considerably.   Small and uniform.  Cold snow type.  Vis ~ 1.5 m

27/23

Didn’t take long to cover the roads

Great place to go tubing. I usually take my daughter there every year.

I always find with marginal temps, you get a lot of trapped cold air and temperature staying just below freezing in all the valley areas. I guess we'll see what happens later this afternoon

[HIPPYVALLEY]

-SN/SN   28°.

Already about half inch on the grass. Roads are coated.

same here. I knew this was going to happen with crappy growth. The rates aren't bad but we're not accumulating efficiently. If we had better snow growth I think I would easily be up to 1.5" by now. 

[Sugarloaf1989]

Snow, 27F.

[ma blizzard]

15z RAP coming in much colder at the surface than even the 12z run 

[Damage In Tolland]

Snow started again after a 30 minute break . Won’t get an inch but maybe an ice storm?

[dryslot]

This band has been pretty persistent and is moving NNE

[metagraphica]

33/27 still waiting for the onset of precipitation.

[Sugarloaf1989]

Moderate snow now all surfaces covered 27F.

[gonegalt]

13f. Light snow.  Began around 1000- a little early, nice blob from PQI to Penobscot Bay. Expecting 2-5" had 2"on the ground to start.
