CT Valley Snowman

I think going below average is fine, but I have too much respect for SNE climo, the CC related propensity for more extreme precip events including large snowfalls, and the 2nd half of winter "wildcard" pattern like 82-83 to just go complete ratter. I'd probably honestly go 25-40" in Boston rather than 15-30" if one was using 15" increments.

There was some damage up here near the border, Enfield/Suffield/Granby area. I recall a burst of strong winds. We were right on the edge.

The northern CT border towns do. But yes, definitely worse to the north.

Fakersville FTW!!

This is a typical morning low temp distribution around here. from 91 west down to the river , it's 33-34, once you go east a mile or two, 31.

31

38

Down from 60 to 41.

47 and dropping like a rock

I think we can pull a 60 high to 32 by morning here in this pit. Radiators mount up.

First 30's with a low of 39.3.

Any hikers or mountain enthusiasts in here willing to chime in on the accuracy of Mountain-Forecast.com for summit conditions or other resources. Some of my nephews are looking into hiking Mt Lafayette in the Whites very early on Saturday morning. They're even talking about trying to summit for sunrise. They're young, healthy, solid hikers but they haven't done winter hikes and I'm making sure they are informed and prepared and honestly trying to talk them out of it. I even texted their mother and told her it's not advisable.

In ORH now. Observing foliage between home and here, generally low/moderate and areas of strong color. NE CT near Union seemed the furthest along.

BDL 88!
