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

Come on, strap those big pants on... Mod/Hvy snow here...  warming across western Fairfield county has been tedious with solid snow band there...

Where are you again? SW CT right ?

I’m at work currently, Stanley Golf Course, New Britain 

[Spanks45]

0.4" of a sleet/snow mix. Came down nicely for close to a half hour. Now just a sleet/frz rain mix. Temp starting to creep up now, 30.9⁰

I think the extra cooling last night, definitely helped out here in the marginal area

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. 

Last night I took the garbage barrel down to the road (I want to say it was like around 7:00 or 7:30 when I did that). The sky was crystal clear with a calm wind and frost already developing. I thought to myself...no way we're warming as quickly as some guidance suggests.

Gotta be best snow growth so far here. Should be closing in on an inch shortly I bet. 

[Typhoon Tip]

Looking more event-worthy this hour ...

Is this cold eventually going to be scoured out? Or can we hang on to a mix for the duration?

Was busy doing work and missed some sleet/graupel earlier.  Not doing anything at the moment.

33.4*

1.5 inches so far in Agawam, MA. Local mets say 1-3 inches

HRRR getting better with happy ending. Please something go right.

should be all rain soon. Temp is soaring to 31.6 . My own personal hell  Valley will get an icestorm , NW CT 6-8” snow and a 33 rainer here

HRRR with sig. better outcome for 495 belt than previous hour. Let’s see if it keep ticking colder

[George001]

Storms like this are always tricky. Even 1 or 2 degrees in marginal setups like this makes a huge difference for areas on the edge. 

[Henry's Weather]

Just drove through the rain/snow line, situated exactly at exit 127 on rt 2. Here’s to it staying put

[Snowcrazed71]

I work in West Hartford and it had been sleeting for quite a while, about half an hour ago it went over to snow and everything's covered, back to sleet/snow mix. I hope it's one of those surprises where it doesn't turn to rain, but I'm still going with it's turning to rain so I don't get disappointed LOL

29f, Snowing here. Trying to enjoy it instead of endlessly bitching. 

Here's the new yard. At '300. Need to update profile. 

Hoping we get 2-4". It'd be the first memorable snow for my daughter probably. She's 2 in Feb. 

We're over 2", temperature has dropped to 28f.

I had the same moment as I looked into the sky and smiled drinking ipa enjoying giants loss.

Warmer temperatures will probably start pushing a bit farther north and west over the next hour or two as the sfc low and 925/850 lows really develop. But I think there are positive trends with the flip back this afternoon. This tighter thermal gradient too may also help to really beef up rates for areas that can stay all snow and under the fronto band. This is definitely going to net some (positive) surprises in spots

0.7” before changing over to sleet

Deck looks like it, I'm guessing

[DJln491]

flipping back and forth in W Hartford.  Surfaces are covered.  Looks slick out there

[MarkO]

1/2 mi vis. About 1/2" OTG 28.2/26.7. The latest HRRR would be an epic overproducing bust for the 495/MV area

[Kitz Craver]

We are so close, every time the rates pick up we flip back to snow. It slows down and back to ZR/IP

[DomNH]

HRRR really wants to collapse a few condos out this way. Drier SN with mediocre growth for now.

That area was always tough because a few miles either way meant mush or 9”.
