It was an estimate...could've easily been 0.2" once you factor in the glaze...but what's a tenth of an inch among friends? But I put it down as 0.1" in my books officially. That's 27.2" on the season since I saw you're keeping up that seasonal totals map.
18Z GFS has something for everyone. Suppression on Thu/Fri, ice on Sunday, region wide snowstorm middle of next week, then inland runner for next weekend. Certainly no one can be complaining about lack of storm threats.
No...most of them were lower than 10:1 in CT. Probably a combination of a warm BL and most models not getting the best banding as far NW into CT as it did.
Seems the BL is going to be a bigger issue than most anticipated. I guess when this was modeled stronger and a bit further north, we had the dynamics to overcome it easily.
I’m not sure why people are surprised by the “warmth.” Some others were commenting on it earlier. The high was 44 here today. Still 35 as of 9pm. Not exactly an arctic ancedant airmass. For SE areas, I think outside of heavier banding, we’re going to struggle to accumulate.
Really seems to be the sweet spot. Looks like some bright banding just to the south. Lot of reports of sleet from Bucks/Montgomery county and down into Philly.
Really takes a true weenie to keep up with the clearing in amounts like that. I couldn't even convince my dad to move his snow stake from the porch to the yard after just an inch of snow there yesterday. Not only is his stake placement bad but it only goes to 24"...good chance depth exceeds that especially once you factor in the drifting off the roof.
Man that's some death band back across I-78 in NJ...pushing 60dbz. Can easily see how someone ends up with 30" whereever that thing stalls and rots out.
Don’t think it’s been quite that long...I imagine Feb 2013 crept in but my memory is terrible for those types of details. Of course PDII was on a whole other level.
When was the last time we saw a storm coming in at such a crawl? Where it’s snowing in NYC but will be another 10-12 hours before precip makes it to Hartford?
Totally agree. They used to be much more conservative 10+ years ago. But more recently they love going balls to the wall and end up busting more often than not. Down this way I feel 12” is out ceiling, I’m think 6-10” shoreline east of HVN. 8-14” for the majority of the state...pocket of 12-18” for the SW/NE corners.
