  1. I hear ya... for adult activities should be a different standard...
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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?
  5. 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
  6. 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...
  7. Yep... I think it is now a foregone conclusion that there are going to be a couple of sweet spots... Lots of support, in my opinion, for a solid 3-5 inch zone across southeast CT northward along and either side of the CT/RI border area (I-395 corridor) eastward across much of RI; possibly parts of the Cape... But I expect a high-end advisory level / low-grade warning (4-8") somewhere in eastern Mass but not locked into the specific zone at this time; probably a nowcast call just before it really shows itself.
  8. Lol... Thanks Scott; I thought it was some special run of the AI... When I saw Will use the term, I though it must be legit... I'm familiar with Terminator, but did not make the connection...
  9. Excuse my ignorance, but the difference between "skynet" and the other euro data sources?
