Flake size was great too .. too bad we couldn’t move the system north east some .. reports of 4.5” in SENY

heres MBY

Yep the modeling was good with southeast NY fronto action and the question was how far east could it come.

If roads are going to be messy, there really is no need in making people go out and travel, especially now with remote learning an option and remote work (obviously there are exceptions) but its disheartening when you hear and read of accidents because of weather and people are killed. No need to have busses out in these road conditions 

CT banned remote learning a few years back (in public schools) b/c it was such a disaster-so if there's a snow day it's getting made up in June.

White rain here 35.   Super made the right call keeping school open today

Schools open here too...only a half day...but temp now up to 33 and only managed about 0.4", pavement mostly bare. 

[Sey-Mour Snow]

Odd little event..

The good news is for NEMASS, hires stuff brings in some steady snow after dark , hopefully can maximize accumulations where it's all snow..

Looks pretty bad to me..especially in windy hill towns. Snow covered roads are snow covered roads whether its 0.5, 1 or 3". Heard reports of lots of accidents this morning in this general area. Just my opinion

Surprised it wasn’t treated then. I don’t know, another day into deep summer for the schools with 1” is dumb, but people these days are dumb too. Lawsuits galore.

This didn't happened when I was in school (although maybe it was being discussed when I was in high school and implemented shortly after) but do they use days from like February or April break to make up for snow days instead of going deeper into June? I know some districts had done this.

Yep if we end up with a bunch of snow events even small those days add up and we still have schools with no AC so deep into June we go....last few years have been lean so it's worked out but this winter might be different

No Feb week off here anymore just a long weekend.   First 5 days are made up in June then they take from April break...which I have not seen happen in the 12 yrs my kids have been in school here

Today's a half day throwaway day with kids watching movies-my sons didn't want today canceled lol. (which it wasnt)

Too low in midcoast Maine to Portland.

6z EPS had 1” qpf. There will be a over a foot locally there.

Also think this is too high over here. This map appears as more of an uncertainty cast as to where the band sets up…

The band will be about 100 miles wide;  go with 2” outside of that and call it a day.

0.7" light rain now

Roads were treated thoroughly in Seymour, just snowed hard enough to stick for 4 hours .. light snow now for a while it seems before we pick up around noon.. Sitting at 1.5" 

[Lava Rock]

Blue sky, sunny in PWM

[Spanks45]

1.4" should probably do it....temp has creeped to freezing and the radar looks pretty weak....

[SouthCoastMA]

how bad is the FV3 Hi-Res? shows some promise here for christmas eve and maybe on Christmas Day for some scattered snow showers along East coastal mass

[moneypitmike]

Pulled into Pit2 half an hour ago in full sun.  Clouds have since (and quickly) rolled in.

28*

It'll pick back up, you should get to 2-2.5" if it doesn't melt a little.. Guidance is much colder than it was so those that get 1.5" + should easily keep it for a white christmas.

[metagraphica]

.3" here. Just flurries now.  Not enough for full coverage, but it's better than just plain brown sticks/grass.

[CoastalWx]

Flurries here

@WxDom 0.7" North Haven, CT

North Haven

Every time I see North Haven mentioned, I am reminded of the time that DIT tried to convince all of us that most people knew that NH meant North Haven and not New Hampshire.

[weatherwiz]

basically just flurries here with filtered sun poking through. In fact, snow has already melted off roofs and some surfaces...even the grass a bit

[SouthCoastMA]

very light flurries here. 

[CoastalWx]

Man I hope that dong is slapping me across the face tomorrow. Very light snow now. 33/22.

Thoughts on C and E CT ? Nam?

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Had some light snow earlier, but basically nothing now. Thin coating.

Tell more more - a lot more - about the IVT

[ORH_wxman]

The stuff in upstate NY diving SE is what most of us in SNE want to watch for later. The BGM to SW CT stuff is just going to keep fizzling...the forcing for later comes from the upstate NY batch....whether that's enough for a couple inches or not is the question

 

[LSC97wxnut]

A light flurry here too. 

Nice to have a few flakes anyway.

Man it's hard to tell.  HRRR is performing poorly, doesn't have this snow regeneration currently happening here..

  You are def part of that screw zone for part 1 , hopefully you can grab an inch later tonight from part 2..

[weatherwiz]

If anything round 2 may favor southern VT, southern NH, and probably central/eastern MA for maybe an inch or two of snow. I could see CT getting some very light snows but not really accumulating.
