Pretty fascinating, snow growth explosion going on over the monadnocks as that cold east flow’s forced up slope

3.5 now. So an inch in a little over 30 mins.

Yea, I tried to hit that oro for that area and ORH hills.

I don't like seeing NJ clean up...thought that was modeled to be delayed. Never a good sign for high-end up this way.

Sort of hoping the tick east just brings the deform goodies into central CT.

SW CT naoiled on NAM. 

[Hoth]

White fog is an excellent descriptor. Surprisingly low visibility for 30 dbz snow.

First flakes.  Also getting windy in the high tops of the trees on my walk.

Pretty mundane here. Huge bust if that works out.

Ehhhhh, 00z HRRR/RAP/NAM all a decent chop with QPF and a trend east. 

We'll see what happens though.

Moderate snow temp 31F here in E CT with about an 1” on the ground. State roads treated were wet and just starting to coat; untreated town roads already covered. Let’s see what happens overnight

Well the whole system is a bit too far southeast for my liking. Would have preferred a bump north.

The evolution on the mesos is sort of funky so I'm honestly not quite sure. Thinking 10"-12" or so here.

Storm gone here 10 attic sand and it will all get blown to Connecticut

Woof. Was probably the most optimistic in this area before 00z. 

[WxWatcher007]

Look after all the epic model runs and dopamine drips, there's just going to be call-it-anxiety-read-it-as-panic at the slightest hint of uncertainty or caution flags. Human nature I suppose.

The storm is here. Watch how it unfolds. We're well past chips fall mode. 

30.7/28 with -SN

Viz down, the road has caved, and the snow intensity is picking up.
