compaction in the dry slot, measured 7.2 earlier, starting to pick up a bit again, hoping to rip later when that pivots through

been a bit of a slot since about 7, and measured 7 at that time, pasted on anything it could, power must have flickered during the time between 5 and then because clocks are blinking, but this stuff is man snow, radar upstream looks good if it can pivot through eastward

woke to 6 of absolute mashed potatoes, covered everything, I would not be shocked if power goes, still ripping too

closing in on an inch now, I just hope we stay frozen, then we'll verify here.. bed soon up early to see what fell, good luck all!

yeah completely coated here, roads too, those paws really slushed things up now it's accumulating nicely

paws have gotten smaller, but still snowing good, about 1/2mi vis, I can barely make out my 1/4mi marker so maybe a little less than 1/2

you flip or still raining? I think you're good for 4-6, tricky the valley forecast, as always in these marginal events

.5" slush in the last half hour

everything coated, that didn't take long with these massive paws, good God, it's like red dawn with parachutes out there, ha

pounding chutes right now, wow

I'll try I usually have trouble posting pics here but I found if I take a picture and then a screenshot of that picture I can post them

believe it or not it's actually starting to slush up the wet spots when it rained before, looks like 100% snow now

yeah me too, I've been pretty steadfast with my 8-12 since go, but all these numbers I keep seeing got me second guessing, I'm still not sold though on them big amounts, although we are pounding paws atm.

beginning to flip here, some wet flakes mixed with the rain, down to 34, I went from here to work near BDL and was 41 drizzle, down to Meriden and was 45 light rain, Waterbury was 43 when rain got heavier, temp dropped as I drove up 8 by nearly 10 degrees, if we flip here now and stay all snow, we're in the money... ALY still has my area on the edge of 12-18, just south 8-12, and that's what I'm sticking with here

looks like a IVT into CT there

yeah you too, hoping for the best, prepared for the worst

radar looking pretty stout upstream for weenie flakes and filling in south, hope so because I got a lot of running around today before things really kick

sitting at 33.5/30 with flakes flying, should we fire up an obs thread? this is wayyy earlier than I expected to see any flakage

there's actually flakes flying right now in Winsted

that looks like one of those spin paint plates you get at the big e

still sticking with my 8-12... trending in the wrong direction, maybe they should put the algorithm in the models from 10 years ago, it seems like the last few years more often than not there have been major struggles with them even latching onto a solution more than a day out... maybe it's me but it's like we used to have goalposts set a week out with fine tuning as we close in, now it's almost a now cast event all the time, other than sniffing out a sig, of course many other things to look at, such as upper level mechanics, etc. but they just seem awful with handle on systems lately

yeah, believe it was Burnsville, and yeah they closed I think it's I35, was insane a couple days later it was like 50

you see my post a little bit up, described exactly that, was outside Minneapolis and literally 2" otg and completely white out, like 50-60mph winds and cold as I ever felt.

I thought I remembered 96 still having a temp requirement, am I mistaken, when exactly did they nix that? if you recall.

yeah them ground blizzard deals are crazy, I went through one with only a couple dry inches otg, crazy whiteout
