Main road we live on already with a coating on it. Nice to be in a good position temp wise.

1" lol

I had been thinking 1-2” here until about 6 hours ago.  4” seems likely. 

[DJln491]

Even in W. Hartford...aka death valley...it's been a pretty steady 20 degrees-ish since this started

[Baroclinic Zone]

19/13. Pretty cool to see temp come down as we saturated.

Baking powder snow and teens make for tough driving conditions. A friend of mine just drove from Greenfield to Northampton and said 91 south is treacherous.

It’s also weenie kuchera ratios. Post liquid equivalent instead. It’s all snow everywhere in SNE so we don’t need clown maps. 

Every thing shows an additional  .5 .6 in Ct

How is snow growth there?  
Started here around 8:15 but we are  only at about 1.5”.  Pure  baking powder. 
has not gotten any heavier than moderate since it started.
Hopefully see a little improvement in flake size, but either way should end up with a few inches. 

average I would say.. no arctic sand here

We toss those koochie graphics. Wish we could just bring some more realistic discussion into these storms.

Saw reports of 17 to 1 in that 4/5 per hour band. Probably 12 to 1 here

Would love to see that.

nice little reinforcement band overhead, picked up nicely with great growth for a bit, west seems to be backfilling some, whether it stays together is the question

It’s a little bit better than Arctic sand  here but definitely smaller flakes. Coming down pretty good right now and it looks like some heavier bands might rotate in soon.

 

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

1/2” or so down

Don’t doubt it but that also tosses those QPF graphics of 0.5” still to come.

Absolutely Crushing in Northern RI.

 

I Finally… FINALLY get to say that.  Roads are a Disaster!  

[WeatherGeek2025]

[CoastalWx]

Steadier here now.

[HoarfrostHubb]

Ray should be getting some good banding in a little while. 

[LSC97wxnut]

Been watching Stranger Things so snow started sometime in the last hour, but it's quickly covered everything.

1/2 S

[FlashFreeze]

16° in Pleasant Valley and very light snow, 3.5” so far. 4.0” in Farmington and 3.25” in E Hartland. 

[The 4 Seasons]

Radar backfilled nicely as excepted. Should get another 1-2 here on top of the 7" or so that has already fallen.

ha we're doing a marathon from the beginning again too, on season 3, my streaming service has to wait a couple days for the ones that came today...any still steady SN, and cold, looks like something filling in NE from ALY keeps reforming mini bands, not like earlier tho, that was 2-3"/hr stuff, vis never got over 1/4mi since onset.

[AstronomyEnjoyer]

12.0°/5.3°, SN.

Coated up pretty quickly. Not expecting much out this way.

[CoastalWx]

 Nice steady snow. Should pick up soon.
