Euro squashed the storm. 

[Modfan2]

Already .53” of rain, temp 45F. Remaining piles of snow will be gone after today 

[512high]

Rain started 6am, 38F, .11 so far, dumping away!

39/37

Rain.

Temps stayed up all night as expected. Continued thaw and melting overnight of the of piles into 60 degree temps tonight should wipe it all out, outside of the parking lots.

Looking forward to flooding and an updated moderate drought map on Wednesday.

Feeling very lucky this storm waiting for a week of melting before hitting us….

I think it’s gonna mix down quite well later today. Gonna blow pretty good this evening

Best QPF probably south of me ......again, which I won't mind this time.

Could still see a few strong storms early this afternoon which could may produce some localized strong gusts.

I'm sure more shingles will rip off tonight. Lost a few in Nov. South winds are the worst for our house. 

[weatherwiz]

Not so sure on the winds today or tonight. The window for gusts 40-50+ mph is probably quite small...like a 1-2 hour window (if that) just out ahead of the cold front when we mix better. Just too much precipitation around today/tonight to probably sufficiently mix. Going to have to rely on embedded convection really but instability overall is going to be pretty weak

Going to be lit up down that way today. That power outage map is going to look pretty wild I imagine

I've realized that my true passion is snowstorms. I guess I'd also be interested in a tropical system or severe storms if they panned out, but cutters bore me, generally. Need something damaging like Oct 21 to peek my interest, or early March 2018

Yea, I've pretty much checked out.

Doesn’t really look interesting going forward. Suckbag ending.

Yeah I consider March 2018 to be king in my lifetime. Oct 2017 and 2021 were both good but they happened at night and the damaging winds didn't last for as long as in March 2018. Unless you live on the immediate coast, wind is usually underwhelming in New England.

Pretty similar to 2017-2018, just flip February and March and slit the snow between Jan/Feb.

[Damage In Tolland]

.75 so far 

[Typhoon Tip]

Will and I called that...  Or actually, it's better to say that the modeling complexion, indices to performance tenors et al, looked like a no win scenario for mid March+, two weeks ago.

Those indicators were ugly.  Not sufficient to offset normal seasonal climb out climo (and the haunting abstraction of CC not helping -).  Yet, the pattern looked like it was trying to fight the sun. 

The residue of that leaves us with no fun for late winter enthusiasts, and no fun for spring and warmth. 

No one wins. It seems the models nailed this purgatory.
