Agree...

I've gone widespread 1-2" with spot 3" for your area...

There you go again John... Using "logic and analytic content!" That has no place in a wx forum... Be better... Lol

Any road coverage

I hear ya... for adult activities should be a different standard...

Just to put some background on the cancellation issue. Almost always, once an advisory or a warning is put into effect, most districts will cancel evening activities. Secondly, the decisions have to be made early in the afternoon; often by 1 pm. They don't have the luxury of waiting until 4 or 5 pm to see how the precipitation shield is trending. If there is even a 50/50 shot roads could develop a light coating prior to the end of the evening period, also including the time it takes for any visiting team buses to get back to their district, it's always going to be a cancellation. As it looks right now, it might have worked out, but they always will err on the side of safety, especially in the Litchfield County hilly districts. Just the nature of what the thinking is these days.

After a great run, we will see if the reggie crapped the bed this time? That's the thing about all the mesos they can have a good run or hit one storm then fail miserably.

got it... thanks

But they show a 12 to 16" color zone?

Much like summer thunderstorm rainfall totals, these meso-scale banding events can have extreme differences across very small distances; think lake effect snows??? I would dismiss it off hand?

Sitting at 2 degrees

I agree 100% with your general amounts overview... This is going to be a fun nowcast looking for short-term sfc obs & radar trends Saturday morning trying to sniff out the max zones before they explode? That's assuming this doesn't just fail to materialize... Trust nothing until you see the whites of their eyes type of forecasting call. Lol

I think advisories will eventually be necessary for other areas as well... North Shore a lock, but I could see the trigger being pulled for lower end advisories anywhere from portions of eastern / southeastern CT on across RI... Sometimes they will issue advisories for a glorified snow shower setup, but not jump in one a widespread solid light accumulation event...
