flipped back to snow / sleet mix here about 10 mins ago

temp creeping up to 30.5 

[wx_observer]

About an inch on the ground with moderate snow right now at the Worcester / WB line.  Major roads right off the highway are snow covered.  

It's the perfect snowfall for a nice cup of tea and staying off the roads.  First storms without any existing salt or sand on the road are pretty messy, even with just a few inches of snow.

[ORH_wxman]

You can see the CC line getting some resistance just north of me literally almost on top of my head. Getting some very ugly mangled occasional flakes mixed in now with the IP/ZR. Temp 29.5F
 

[tavwtby]

some heavier echoes moving in, if we don't flip here I see no reason we can't get to 6, only WWA here but warning just over the border to my north, maybe ALY will upgrade, or is it too late in the game for that? I'm over halfway to verifying here.

Front Street :  Exhibit A dremonstrating the power of the December 2 sun angle.

 

 

[40/70 Benchmark]

Temp pinned at 29.8.....S- with subpar growth.

Eyeballing maybe an inch?

Fwiw ...the last 1/2 hour we went from no wind/dead calm to a NNE motion.  Ageo may be an issue in the headache spectrum

Longitude FTW

[FlashFreeze]

26.7° and moderate to almost heavy snow, no mixing yet, wind starting to pick up a little from the NE. Mountain Road at the East Hartland Granby line is closed, 3 inches total snow so far

[weatherwiz]

2.2” and still falling.

note: I did not measure in the grass. I was also kicking snow around trying to find a ball.

Yeah there’s def longitude component, but also the radar can’t see it beyond a certain distance.Too far away to show up in CT. But it’s there on the OKX radar. But even that radar is prob too far away to show it in northern CT…when it’s lower level warmth punching in and not up at 750-800mb, it’s harder for the radar to see it from far away

[CoastalWx]

Hrrr might be a tad too cool on the ptype this run based on the obs.

[moneypitmike]

This morning my p/c forecast was for 1-3" for the daytime.  It's now calling for 3-5" this afternoon.  FTW.

It still shows a rain mix though.

27*

For whatever reason this area just furnaces in these setups. I’ve seen it so many times I knew exactly what was gonna happen. The valley will never hit freezing and will get an icestorm and west of there will be all snow . Meanwhile I get 32-33 rain. And then the wrap around will hit areas just NE and east tonight 

As Scott explained….more land to cover to get west in these set ups…, still all frozen mixed precip here.

Just looked at the HRRR......it's not showing taint (or at least very little).  Meanwhile, it shows it ripping here from 4:00 - 10:00.  Bring it.

[CoastalWx]

If the models are right, there’s gonna be a pretty good surge of milder air just off the deck moving north west over the next few hours. We’ll see how that goes. Hopefully it doesn’t go too far Northwest.

The coastal front is well offshore from where you are . I could see it on radar.

[CoastalWx]

The coastal front is bisecting Boston Harbor in just west of Route 24 still. What model had 32 in Stoughton still?

[ineedsnow]

16zHRRR has 1.16 of qpf left here 

[Damage In Tolland]

Can we please collapse things back SE this afternoon . Even if only for an hour or two

Imagine it raining there and snowing at the end of your street. That’s what I had last December.

Best snow rate of the day now. Side roads are covered.

[OrangeCTWX]

[moneypitmike]

I'm suddenly in a bummer of a lull.  wasn't expecting that.
