It's all done now. 15 minutes of moderate to boarderline heavy snow and snow grains. Just over a coating. 0.3" total. Whitened things up a bit. Skys already clearing sun is out.
I took my drone up and captured some cool videos though
Thank you i appreciate the acknowledgement. Think it was a B/B- for both Ice and Snow.
I was tempted to go up and seriously considering it but after many mesos started backing down the front end thump and warming mid levels i held off. Interestingly this was my first call as well. Funny it was literally the lowest snowfall forecast out there and it was STILL too high in N 1/3 of CT. I didn't want to shave that 2-4 down though because at least that looked like a reasonable call, even with the trends.
a whopping 0.3" of snow last night puts me to 6.2 on the season
got more ice than snow..0.38 ice another spotter in North Haven measured 0.5" on a flat surface, i used the small tree branch method.
Not really...
Steady returns right over me. The main slug moved east of CT, yes, but its not completely done. Although, we did transition from freezing rain to sleet now and it's moderate.
Still warm at the shore, they are getting spared any more damage for the time being. Lots of >=33F readings in interior E CT as well.
SE MA all above freezing. Toasty on the Vineyard & Nantucket.
It's the old adage....why do people love watching train wrecks (literal) and car crashes. Most people don't want to see anyone hurt, but we just can't look away. It's human nature.
