Had 2" here before the flip Better than a shutout. At least things look wintry some snow and a layer of glaze. -

Just got back from staying overnight in Franklin, Ma after going to the Pats game last night. It was a slow go on the Pike with several spinouts and accidents. You could see the warm air surge more pronounced near Sturbridge where there was less snow and temps were a bit warmer around to 30-31. Traveling west, temps started to drop down to about 28 as we descended down into the valley and snowfall increased. Looks like there's a couple of inches here in Enfield although rates are pretty light at the moment. -
First Winter Storm to kickoff 2025-26 Winter season
CT Valley Snowman replied to Baroclinic Zone's topic in New England
Looking like just a bit too far SE and low in elevation here. I'll take an inch or two on grassy surfaces at this point. -

Really close call here. GFS pivotal maps have like 8" here and 2" in Ellington. Surface temps on most modeling get up to around 33 with the 850 O line right over my fanny at the height of the storm. I would prefer to be about 10-15 miles NW. I'm going with a cautious 2-4"here in this part of the valley as a first estimate. -
December 2025 regional war/obs/disco thread
CT Valley Snowman replied to Torch Tiger's topic in New England
I'm not crazy with the trend with the high placement and strength.on some of the modeling. Definitely makes it more challenging for those of us further south as the warmer air aloft surges northward. We're threading the needle as we want a more dynamic system vs a weak shredded POS but with a track and high placement that will help keep the cold air in place longer. -

Definitely some caution flags. At least there is something to track at this range. -
Nothing here. Too much cloud cover and light polution ftl.

Nice analysis. I would sign for that in a heartbeat given our recent anemic snowfall amounts in this area. -

Looks like BOX went with an advisory for most with a warning for the east slopes of the berks and the cape and islands. -
Spooky Season (October Disco Thread)
CT Valley Snowman replied to Prismshine Productions's topic in New England
We've had a few gusts here and there maybe 35 to perhaps 40 but pretty quiet overall. I can't hear the wind from inside. I actually had some better gusts for a short period yesterday evening.
