30/28 -SN 2.8" total so far in Salem NH. Watching that mix line creeping toward us.

Sleet might be starting to mix in here in ASH. NAM may have nailed the 900-950 warm layer it is pushing up toward MHT that the other short-range mesos aren't seeing.

It's 46* right now at the new Pit.  Such an easy forecast for down there.

Bro you must make some big cash…got so many Pits I can’t keep up. Holy smokes. 

[Modfan2]

Spent most of the day in S RI and rain and temps around 45F, now home in E CT and temp 34F and .40” of rain so far

Been holding a steady 28 here toward the coast all day long.  Bounced from 28.2 - 28.9 at the peak but sitting solid at 28.0 even again now.  Hoping it stays that way!

[DavisStraight]

Still all snow here, 28 degrees

[radarman]

Moderate snow continues.

[Brian5671]

back edge approaching here-what an awful day with rain and 33-34

Not really.  There's never more than 2.  We come out a little ahead hen we fix them up and decide to move.   We're not flippers though, we just move for new projects.  

Always try to buy a fixer-upper with a good location.  I think the new Pit might be a keeper though.  It's an 1820 in really rough shape.......but it's in the village two houses from the water.  Got a good deal on it.....but man will it be a project.  Time and dollars.  My wife said all our other houses have prepared us for this moment.....sigh.

Yep, the NAM seems to have a better handle on the mid-level warm layer compared to the HRRR. Having said that, it looks like the northward progress of the mix line MAY have halted or even been knocked back a bit over Essex County MA...but could be just a temporary trend. Hard to say at this point if we have a snowy or an icy evening coming up.

25.7°, 4.9" new.

In a bit of a lull for the time being.

[ORH_wxman]

Very icy outside....31F right now. Epic fail on the sfc temps. Not totally uncommon to happen but a bit more surprising since we had no high to the north. 

 

But that sfc low kind of elongating to the northeast probably really turned ageo flow more northerly. 

[radarman]

I have to give credit to the HRRR for the little weenie streak on the west side of Quabbin (linked below) even if it was a bit too high in general.  We had just barely enough lat / lng / alt

 

[UnitedWx]

Heaviest snow I've seen all day so far now in westfield. 100% snow again here. Heading out now to hit the plow route in Simsbury

[DomNH]

Yep: Over to sleet here after what looks like 2-3’’. 

[wx2fish]

About 3". Sleet mixing in. 31F

[ineedsnow]

That band coming up from the south looks great! Could be a fun couple hours

[NorEastermass128]

37F

[CT Valley Snowman]

A few catpaws mixed in but primarily zr and 32.

Didn’t Tip opine on a cold pool of air to the NW that was going to act as a pseudo antecedent?

[weatherwiz]

Time to go out and clean before hockey. Glad I got my high noon for the game tonight the other day instead of waiting for tonight

Yeah I did not expect to be near and now on cold side of CF. It’s a shame it torched just aloft.

Yeah it did, it seemed like though when we radiated last night, models were way too aggressive to erode it. Even here.

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Heavy snow, over 4” now.       28°

Hey you did well!

[powderfreak]

6” today at 1500ft.  Tapering off.

[Kitz Craver]

Man it is an icy, slushy mess out there

[DomNH]

Going to need the Kraft to even sniff warning amounts. Feels like we haven’t verified a warning in two years. 

[wx_observer]

29 F and a mix of freezing rain and sleet here.  Got about 2.5-3 inches on the ground before the switch.  Roads look really messy.

[WxWatcher007]

Snowing nicely again here at WXW2.

[ORH_wxman]

Icy…serves me right for forgetting to put the grill cover back on last night…that driveway/walkway glare is nasty right now
