Now you are just being mean.

Well it is comforting to know that no matter how bad we get screwed, the New London area always gets screwed even worse.

Was really enjoying this thread until you came along and had to post this..

2010-2011 was the most memorable winter of my life. . I was going to quinnipiac at the time and it was just snow storm after snowstorm. Biggest pack I’ve ever had, was able to even build igloos big enough to have friends in them for college drinking shenanigans. Good times..

Hopefully this will be a little more exciting than last year squall.

Nice solid bow echo in NJ loll where is this during the summertime..

2 inches of snow up in Norfolk from the squall per Ryan’s twitter page.

Yep anything not touched by the sun is still completely encased in ice.

Those are old numbers (7am) BPT reported .40 Few hours ago

Im in Milford CT, haven’t been out since 1230 but main roads were ok then.

Definitely a solid glaze of ice on everything , I’m not measuring but nearby Bridgeport Ct reported .40 so I’m guessing we are definitely over .25 No outages at all to report in the UI territory though thankfully

Could see inland coastal CT getting up to .5, while those like me along the coast sit at 32.8F after a tenth of an inch or so of ice junk.

Nyc folks jumping off the Brooklyn bridge if that verified (which it won’t). Gfs , or should I say FV3, seems to like to create these fantasy snowicanes every so often.

All snow here in orange ct

Well at least it gives us a full fledged snowicane to make up for that at hr 300 lol

A little over an inch so far , nice wintery appeal. It may not be much but it looks great and our 12 week old Bernese mountain dog puppy loved his first snow, so I would consider this a win.

Light snow that isn’t really sticking yet. But the HRRR is starting to show more love for CT now, so that’s good at least.

Finally turned back to snow here. Snowing at a steady clip, though everything is still just wet the moment.

Sleet has just arrived. Was ripping snow prior. Probably 2 inches down? Not bad.

Ripping snow here but the sleet line is two towns over so the fun is about over. A couple inches down, would consider this a win all things considered. Have very little hope for part 2.

Not great for CT but it’s just one run.

I find the following tends to happen: -Gfs thermals are too warm at the onset of a storm. Toss -Initial thump of snow is stronger than modeled. But, -Midlevels warm up quicker than modeled. So a satisfying quick couple of inches than the ice/rain junk -But after that is sort of a wild card. I can’t recall a recent storm that stalled/occluded like this. I’m not confident in how quickly temps crash nor the amount of precip that is around when they do. My gut says they crash quick but precip drys quicker than we hope, but I could be wrong.

Everyone with a brain knew the 18z 15 inch blob over NYC wasn’t gonna stay. It was a random band that even the HRRR couldn’t pinpoint in real time. But no reason to give up either. As I said above models are going to have a rough time pinpointing where this is going to stall and occlude.

The models have no idea where to stall and occlude this storm. They won’t for some time. The only thing that you should be looking at right now is the strength of the high and the initial front end thump. Everything besides that is no where near locked. Anything is still on the table really.q

Think that might not even be sorted out entirely until the initial thump is already on our doorstep.
