I know you weren't, I'm just getting excited for later on lol.

I'm just a tad south of you. It's going good here how. It'll be on you very soon.

[Tropopause_Fold]

[Damage In Tolland]

This band is the shiznit..Easily inch+ per hour..ripping

Yeah, vis dropped very quickly here. Crappy flakes to start, but they'll surely get better as things get moister and heavier.

[moneypitmike]

Still just snowing moderately. Tough to accumulate much with all the blowing, though I'm not recording especially high winds. just really fluffy snow.

I liked Andy's comment to Pete about 10:00p.m. I'm still awake then:)

HOpe eveyone's having fun.

18.1/14.

[DeVries]

[ineedsnow]

[CTWeatherFreak]

Holy snikey...look at the drying out south of us (I don't mean that in a bad way I mean wayyy south where the low is bombing)...the turn has begun

Man... ryan, weatherwiz, et all. .how does that dry 'dagger of death' not get into central ct.. its pointed right at us!

[moneypitmike]

That's a nice band running from DXR to Boston

[weatherwiz]

Going pretty good outside...strong gusts, snow coming down fairly good...it's here

[DomNH]

You're right Kevin...winds coming in quickly. Probably gusting to 20-25 now.

FWIW back to rain here.

I'm going to take a page out of your book. So far this storm sucks for most of us.

If you look at what NOAA was saying about snow totals by 0z, it's going to have to fall 2-4" at a time over a lot of the area between now and then. Storm ramp up begin!

This exactly what happened in March 2001. Remember going for 20-24 inches across WNE, irate viewrs, calling, emailing, etc. vicious. We kept saying wait its coming and they did. The bulk of the snow that feel was incredible in a bout 12 hour period. Some of the most incredible banding I have ever seen.

Still just snowing moderately. Tough to accumulate much with all the blowing, though I'm not recording especially high winds. just really fluffy snow.

The wall Mike, the wall. You won't be able to see the other side of the glass on your windows when this band smacks you

[dan11295]

Finally am about to get into decent snows just to my south as that DXR-BOS band works north. Am concerned about the dry slowteventually but not for a while

[DeVries]

Vis down to about 500 feet. This is almost as bad as it was during the peak of last week's storm around here.

[Mr Torchey]

Interesting developments over the last ten minutes, sleet and snowgrains pinging against the windows now, DID NOT expect this.

Yeah the key will be to watch the cloud tops cool south of LI. Had a nice weenie convo with Will about this. Def something to watch on IR/Radar.

[CT Rain]

I think it's a concern... just not a big one.

[mattmfm]

It's just snow grains when the banding lights up.

[40/70 Benchmark]

RAD:

[sankaty]

Mod snow with some extended bursts of S+ as the bands move through in Middletown, CT. Two inches on the ground so far.

I was worried about the dry slot around here, but with the radar blossoming due south of us and racing north, thinking any drying will be short-lived. Still hard to believe we could break a foot down here in the valley. Has only happened once since 2003 (Feb 2006 dropped about 16 inches).

[Mr Torchey]

negative ghost rider, was just out shoveling and it was ip some snow grains were mixed in.

[mattmfm]

This band is <3, nearing whiteout conditions with wind gusting 35-40mph.

[NB-Weather]

Under one of the heavy bands in southern CT (North Branford) About 2-4 inches so far in somewhat controlled area, higher drifts. Strangely, it seems as if its starting to turn to sleet. Rather annoying actually sound wise haha.

Sleeting on ack now too but you are just in between bands

True, it's game on for the next few hours over EMA but take a look at, http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?product=N0R&rid=okx&loop=yes

Almost a circulation center there.

[weathafella]

Ripping big time....big fat boys blowing around....looks like a lull and then hellaceous soon after.
