Inch down, roads getting covered, and the good stuff isn't even here yet.

Just drove down the hill again to amherst and nothing is accumulating  there... we white here . My kid is going window to window like me lol. future weenie

Thinking about heading up to Lake Wyola area. The road off 202 to the center of town climbs about 500' of vert in a mile and the center of Shutesbury is about 1250', probably a couple inches up there by now.

It's this extreme now at a very low elevation in southern CT. All snow at 200 ft and mainly rain with some random flakes at around 100ft.

It's amazing, happy others got to see it so I know I'm not crazy. I have seen 300-400' making a difference but never 100' over less than a quarter mile. Like a switch flipping.

Dumping now.  33/31

Awesome band you have coming in.

Can't complain.

Coming down at a good clip now, surprised at how early things went to snow. Best rates should be in another 1-2 hours.

Interesting  from wwlp

 

FRIDAY NIGHT: Becoming Mostly Clear and Cold

Lows: 16-20 **Record low of 18º set in 1988 and 2011**

Funny, the Ukie from Monday was on for the temps here.

Who will pull a 6?!

Not happening due to sun angle and the warm ground.

Going to suck when schools that are in/hybrid call a half day and send faculty/staff home on greasy shitty roads.

Ping..ping...ping

Any dual-pol images?

32.4, coating starting to form on deck/car tops.

LOL at your elevation and my post.

I really do understand DIT's love of elevation and micro climate. Went for a little drive this morning. 

Over the course of 1/4 mile...

550' - straight rain with random flakes

607' - 50/50 mix

670' - straight dumping (like the kind you see shit in if your high beams are on)

Then drove up Rt. 202,  up a hill heavy snow, bottom of hill hit mix. Snow was accumulating on cars in driveways around 900'. 

Pixie dust falling.

Did not expect to be woken up by branches hitting the roof. We windy and 37*. Radar filling in with a nice band just about to enter the Lenox/Lee area.

Can we bump that north a little

30-50 miles NW than modeled is how it always plays out lol

I can see BOX going with 2-4" (basically their 1:10 map from this morning) in their later update. 

Cranking above 3000' on the spine at K and SB. Snowing at the summit of Stratton has started as well.

My met ignorance here, but given the fluctuations in modeling, modeling vs. reality (i.e., Zeta's modeled vs actual pressure), combined with this wild jet for October,  I'm flashing back to Philosophy 240 (an entire seminar on Hume) and wondering how much stock can be put into anything at this point. I guess my question is what upper or lower dynamics should be focused on?

Bet the Euro looks similar to yesterday's 0z run.

Definitely colder, deeper and more tucked. We take.

Yea, looks longer duration. 

Didn't it nail a few early (Nov/Dec) storms a few years back? Not looking for a model to ride, just remember maybe 2-3 years ago early it was all the rage on this board until it fell flat mid winter. I remember it was my first introduction to that model. 

Reggie going wild? Looking colder.

Crying in my milk.  Will never recover.  Man, a good snow threat gets everyone busting balls so it’s fun.  The south loves stealing snow from the north, totally get it lol.

Don't lie. You're drinking kombucha. 

Models were not really picking up on the sleet yesterday. That cold just crashing down for the change over. More realistic last night/today.

I would lock that in a second!

That is a no power in most of our town type deal. Looking around the trees in our neighborhood are >50% full.
