Transition complete

ZR/IP/and a few needles thrown in for good measure

21

good luck to those up north, impressive warmth in the mid layers

UGH Already!? I was just looking at the radar and noticed the oranges a few minutes ago and was hoping that was just crazy snow....Winds started to pick up here and flakes have gotten larger. WE are only at 19 degrees....

Better than ice

Scott, messenger went through a grauple

stage here a while ago, bake to good flakes pretty quickly

Thing is though even the warmer than warm RUC wouldn't have had the change as far north as it is already. We'll see how it plays out but this has been the case most of the winter for whatever reason...the RUC leads the way on the warmth, meso and globals are behind the times and too cold.

Same here in Greenwich. Mostly sleet with a few flakes mixing in every now and again. Looks like an inch or so of snow will do it for us today. Those 45-50 dBZ echoes are all sleet. Guess it was a good idea to have schools open after all.

Yeah, just noticed I'm about 1.75", if we stay all snow....

I think you will Dom, but I'm not thinking I will.

How far north of the MA boarder are you?

4-5 miles maybe?

If we ping, which I doubt we will, it'll be at the tail end as this is shutting off, so I'm not worried about a thing.

My town has an early dismissal half day for all kids nothing like letting them out at the height of the storm#1 11am-12pm. Asinine decision IMO.

Agreed. I think the superintendents are feeling some pressure to limit snow days...

My ride back home will be fun. Can I use the bathroom at your house when I slog through Westminster up Rte 2?

Our busses will be here starting at 10:30 if they can make it up the hill. Looks like 3" on the ground already (checked from a coworker's window)

That's unbelievable to me as I grew up in Portland and owned a house there until 2006. For what I was paying in taxes compared to what the town offers, for them not to have the ability to stay on top of this is pretty silly. In Colchester now, I'm STILL paying $1500 less in taxes then I was before I moved; and the taxes on the house I sold almost doubled the year after I sold it.

This is OT but a town that averages 35" of snow a year is probably going to be poorly equipped to move 65" that falls in one month. That's just a fact. I'm not sure why people are so frustrated by it. This is what happens when there's a record amount of snow depth after a record snowy month.

Heavy heavy fender benders.

You are 100% correct, No town is going to make the investment in equipment for those sesonal totals.

Why you think you have crappy ratios? just now starting to get better snow growth, as some better echoes move overhead. How is your snowgrowth?

Tomorrow. Today is nice and fluffy.

1.5'' new, though snowgrowth isn't quite as good as it was a little while ago.

Some of the towns have unrealistic snow budgets. I know this is an unusual year and the state of the economy certainly doesn't help, but some of the smaller towns in the state need to get with the times.

Sad, my town Plainfield is pretty good on snow, although they need to knockdown intersections, Sterling is horrible , ripping here.

looks like I'm on par with the other shoreline dwellers...pinging started around 7:30 after about 0.5" of snow. Had flakes mixed for awhile, but pretty much all sleet here for the past 30 min. Sounds like fzra already working its way into SW CT? Just what I wanted to avoid...could care less about the sleet, would prefer to avoid significant icing.
