Pretty good returns starting to fill in across N of pike....this is modeled to slowly fill in to the south too...at least by the short term guidance.

Not sure how long it ever gets steady there....but I think the best period for N CT is like 9pm to 2am or so. If stuff starts blossoming around 7-8pm, then its prob a bullish sign for like an extra 2-3 inches. If it's still really fragmented by 9-10pm, then it's prob not a good sign.

Congrats

18z NAM tickling east....big difference for coastline this run.

For the queens

This is pretty nice right now...best snow of the day since early this morning. Hopefully this keeps filling in with that mini-firehose look.

He's torn between the chickens and a nice deformation ML fronto band.

Here you go powderfreak....a lone junco feeding on the ground below my feeders in a light steady snow....sorry for the somewhat ginxy-esque blurriness. Snapped it quick.

What a weenie run...but I'm skeptical as of now.

Euro kind of interesting for the clipper Friday afternoon. Shortwavea lot more robust, so instead of just a windexy FROPA, it actually has the low more defined and a stripe of 1-3"...esp N of pike into CNE.

Red dot marks the spot

The elements off to the eats are mostly dying as they reach here....when they survive, I get these bursts of fat flakes that start to stack up, but then it ends and it might be 15-20 minutes before another makes it. Earlier this morning, we had a very steady stream reaching us that dropped a half inch in about 90 minutes. Though I'm starting to become encouraged by the radar to the south of RI. Might be able to fill this in a little bit later this afternoon

Incremental improvement over 6z I thought....but it is still not enough to get a solution like some of other guidance.

Euro looks a bit better with ULL orientation....kind of flinging that vortmax more NW around the upper low.

Pretty cool you can see the R/S line on the E MA stuff....almost running along I-95 south of the 128/93 split.

Def moved west through 24....coming out a little slow this morning.

3k was definitely way better looking synoptically on 12z than the 06z run.....it;s really not that close actually. 12z on the bottom here....

Nice steady snow with good flakes in this stuff....slowly adding more and more

Temp down to 29F and ripping fatties in this stuff. About a half inch down new since I woke up about an hour ago.

This could get pretty good over interior today. It's ripping fatties here from that stuff. This will start to pile up if it keeps up alll day.

Steady snow herein this easterly flow stuff. Temp had jumped slightly above freezing overnight but now slipped back to 30F

I just use the wundermap these days....it's kind of annoying, but it gets the job done.

Pathetic performance this time....doesn't always win on these WAA thumps. It usually helps if it has at least a couple allies, but the usual suspects like the HRRRx jumped ship inside of 24 hours which was probably a red flag that the 3km NAM was totally out to lunch.
