Eventually we will cycle back to good times but for now everything is just a struggle. Just how it goes sometimes. Just get stuff on the board—that’s the priority.

Welcome back into the darkness, friend. It was always a trap.

They’re all bad. Buyer beware.

The Super Bowl halftime show is like an annual cultural test. There’s no such thing universal agreement on any performer.

I couldn’t possibly agree more. This is far more enjoyable.

The other good thing is that these are all short to medium range. We’re already in range for Tuesday and Thursday. No waiting a week to see if something materializes, everything is in the pipeline.

Yeah that was very odd. You know you have something solid when you’re shoveling with both an icy layer on top and blue in the meat of the pack. It should last a while.

Despite me being totally out on winter, I do think we’re still in the game for a very nice period. I don’t think the storms moving forward are going to blast the r/s 100 miles to our north without decent front ends at least. It’s just going to be tough sledding to produce big snow events.

I’m so disappointed I didn’t just stick with 4-8.

It is certainly better than what we had. Hopefully we can get late Tuesday to trend north more.

Unless 1888 walks through the door, and it’s not, this winter is irredeemable to me. This winter just won’t do it here—regardless of what the pretty maps we worship say. Sincerely happy for the folks that cashed in today. I won’t scoff at that or the wintry vibe outside.

Congrats to those that got hit good.

Follower just reported 5” in Woodbridge, CT.

What do you think about the prospects of that slot filling in some further west?

That’s a nowcast for sure, even some modest filling would be meaningful. It’s ripping.

If we can get that slot out west to resaturate we’re in business.

Mesoscale Discussion 0079 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0901 PM CST Sat Feb 08 2025 Areas affected...parts of New England and eastern NY Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 090301Z - 090700Z SUMMARY...Multiple bands of heavy snow with rates of 1-2 inches per hour should persist into the early morning across eastern New York into parts of New England. DISCUSSION...Radar imagery and surface observations, along with recent reports, indicate multiple swaths of heavy snow are ongoing across parts of the Northeast. The most probable area for the highest rates should exist over southern New England, just to the east-northeast of the occluding transition zone between snow and sleet. OKX dual-pol radar has sampled enhanced KDP below the dendritic growth zone, indicative of heavy snow. 21Z SREF and 00Z HREF guidance support potential for 2 in/hr bursts across parts of CT/MA/RI, until enough warming near 700 mb occurs for sleet and/or mid-level drying advects into the dendritic growth layer during the early morning. Farther north, a more west/east-oriented deformation zone from Lake Ontario to the Capital District should pivot east during the next several hours. Snowfall rates in this band should more steadily hold around 1 in/hr as it spreads across southern parts of VT/NH/ME. ..Grams.. 02/09/2025

Same in E Hartford. 29.3/22 -SN

Yep, things look good. 32.1°/19 at home in East Hartford. Replaced the snow board in the backyard and cleaned out the catch basin the birds keep dropping bagels in on my VP2.

The Connecticut Delegation approves.

Let’s widen that band and put it over the whole state.

WHERE ARE THE MAPS???

4-8 still looks good, but we shouldn’t totally discount high resolution guidance if it refuses to play ball, especially as we get closer. We’re probably fine, but it’s worth an eye imo. It would be good to have a warning verify statewide. These have to hit good if we want a shot at climo.
