Some of those mesos yesterday were beyond awful at the sfc. Just complete disaster of a forecast.

I'm getting more optimistic about my lower levels looking to my east...main concern  may end up being sleet/poor growth.

[40/70 Benchmark]

Looks like some modest evaporative cooling as the light snow has grown steadier, touched 30 and back down to 29.3.

15z HRRR coming in colder out to hr3 .. lets get more people in this!

[ineedsnow]

HRRR actually much colder

[weatherwiz]

might be getting some stronger lift overhead but flake size has increased again and intensity has picked up. A good moderate snow falling now. Probably have almost 1/2" down

Over to zr here

I posted in the wrong thread but we have moderate IP/ZR mix and temps back down to 28F

[ORH_wxman]

We had a round of sleet/snow mix....the sleet is kind of weird because it's not like we're warmed at 800-750 or anything....prob mostly shitty growth as the deeper lift is still west. Temp 28.5F

Let's keep that CC mix line pinned to 84. I will rip here for a few hours, if so.

We've got to be nearing 2" now out there/ Simsbury.

[Kitz Craver]

The surface seems quite cold

[dryslot]

Coming down now at a good clip in this band, 1/2 mi vis, SN, 21/19°F.

[Boston Bulldog]

Light rain showers in South End, Boston

[powderfreak]

3” at the mountain, snowing hard.

[Kitz Craver]

All the sudden we snow!

It usually rips through Kev and then encounters resistance.

You’ll pound paste later. Hopefully some of these cooler surface temps means the temps drop a little quicker when wind switches to north.

[Torch Tiger]

Snowing pretty good and the ground is nearly.covered.

Hey, maybe my map may work out in some areas....though prob gonna bust near Kev.

Snowing in the valley in Ellington, cameras at home look like freezing rain in Tolland.

I know right, I feel like he’s near Wallingford  , no location. HRRR shows a change to snow now for the 84 corridor but that’s hard to believe ..

Not plain rain, it’s too painful. I can’t bear it

Midday with heavier rates, very unlikely, but what’s interesting is the continued surface cooling trend.  Many spots inland never crack freezing after it showed 40s last night for us.

Welcome to my hell. 

[weatherwiz]

Wet bulbing and precip certainly doing its work. Looks like some locations have even dropped a few degrees over the past hour or two (particularly BDL)
