The NWS radar already showing very light  virga returns in Concord NH. Also looks like it might be snowing within the next 30 to 60 minutes in western Connecticut and Massachusetts

Greenwich probably has close to an inch I'd assume based on radar and duration, waiting for an ob from a snow removal client in Tarrytown about 5 miles west of greenwich .. EDIT he says about 1.5" "very fluffy snow"

I mean, I definitely do weenie radar hallucinations in every storm. But what you said earlier, this storm is at least four hours ahead of schedule. Maybe that means nothing or maybe it’s just testimony to the intensity of moisture overriding such a cold air mass.

What’s the SWFE rule again?

No doubt, my forecast for first inch was between 9-10am in Tarrytown.. So way ahead of schedule with 1.5" at 7am.

What is the board clearing rules for a storm of this duration? How many hours in? Do I do it when I change to sleet?

Clear every hour for maximum snowfall amounts in your area or county. Make sure you measure in the grass for extra depth (adds an inch or so). If no grass is available then measure on top of old snow. Maximum measurements occur at a 45 degree angle, so that is important, use protractor if necessary. If there is blowing and drifting, find the deepest drift and measure that. Thats the basic rules.

100% / just don't want it father north than modeled 

If it's an indication of moving the higher qpf line any further north, bring it on!!  10-20 miles of latitude would be a huge difference.

Stepping back though, I should acknowledge that it's crazy to view my 10-14" as being screwed.  :)

Don't forget, if all else fails, puree packing peanuts and disperse liberally about the landscape.

There's def a brick wall of dry air past SW CT, having a hard time saturating here , still just random flakes for 30 minutes now , where as the NYC metro went straight to heavy snow instantly

I'm sure the -3* at Pit2  (up from -6) will provide a lot of saturated atmosphere for me.  :)

That’s an unfortunate drop for many in CT.  But I’ve been saying 12 or less for my spot for days. Luckily never bought into the 18-20 hype. 
(I’m that last 13” nub in the northeast corner next to RI)

? Their maps have done nothing but gone up. I think you're reading the ranges wrong. N half of CT is the 18-24"  range and southern half is 12-18".... not 12-18/8-12. you are on the boarder of 18-24 in that map.

Finally steady light snow with a coating.. Nice band getting ready to move in, should be snowing heavily by 8am.. which is about 3 hours earlier than I thought last night .. 

Ive been thinking 10 or so for my area.. these usually come in a little faster
