Logan11 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Out early for an inch maybe by the end of the school day? LOL I wonder if it is fear of lawsuits that lead schools districts in many areas to cancel school for such frivilous events nowadays. Different story in this area where we have LES (of varying degrees) or drifting almost constantly on some roads. They seldom ever close here for less than 6 inches. But in the CD and HV, they close for almost nothing now. Snowing in Torrington/Harwinton, schools getting out early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ineedsnow Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 wtnh seems to think this is a big storm THURSDAY: Snow tapering to flurries during the morning. Accumulation likely to impact morning commute. with 4" to 8" most areas and up to 10" in Western CT. Highs in the 30s to around 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 We probably should have our eyes on what's going on near Buffalo. If the radar starts to look healthy, it may be an indication of the mid levels doing their job. The key is to see if we can branch the snow from NY state into MI. That's the area that will pass overhead, but it needs to have a smooth and even appearance to it, and not areas of banded 15DBZ echoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

free_man Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 great for those folks around jerz and long island!! Looks like the places the b ferving said snow would be wasted on actually jackpotted and he will be looking at wispy cirrus, while his spring is weeks away. you clearly spun my post around and missed what I was saying, then tried to use NNJ which is completely irrelevent because it was elevation and a nighttime event and something I made no mention of to begin with. funny though, this is why people get a little upset with others on message boards P.S. I have more snow on the ground now than you will after this "storm" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, snow stuck to the roads at my parents house on monday andit came during the day and only dropped two inches. see ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All models including the awful ones show two big pulses of precip all the way into CNY/ENY before they fall apart. One now, one tonight.

I have more snow on the ground now than you will after this "storm" northeren nj had accumulating snow to the coast, jfk had accumulating snow, and those same areas will get hit tonight including the nyc metro and long island, i was referring to your statement regarding snowing in places that would not accumulate. As far as your snow on the ground compared to mine, congrats, enjoy the ice, I could really care less, for somebody that has been touting spring for 2 months and doubting peoples snowfall on the ground I think its funny that your gloating about snowcover in spring, but enjoy!

TalcottWx Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Never had my eyes really focused on this one... Looks to have corrected back south from where it was yesterday. Storms often folllow this structure: (1)storms south;hope is in the air for north trend. NNE largely cirrus, SNE brushed (2)storm comes north, SNE is now a moderate storm weenies rejoice, NNE brush light storm eyebrows raised (3)storm swings south last minute, SNE is pissed, NNE shrugs as it misses out on dusting I feel like for whatever reason storms come too far north or south and almost always correct late in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never expected any significant, but was hoping for 2-3", yesterday. Might be a pipe dream now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Windcredible! Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 some light flurries here...certainly not expecting much through the daytime hours. was hoping for maybe 2-5" tonight...but latest NAM certainly says Upton's call for 1-3" along the shoreline is probably most reasonable.

I think this is really coming together well for the 30th. Obviously we're still a ways out, but man if there was ever a pattern for it, this is it! I think I mentioned it a couple of times this morning and how come Tuesday I'll probably be pegged for a mix with the PV out of the way. But it's nice having the GFS well SE at this point. It's the one at a time scenario here though...you and I have no eggs in tonight's basket so it's easier to look ahead. The NAM basically fizzles the inverted trough too, but it was never really impressive with it from the beginning. Its sister NMM/ARW SREF members were much more impressive. Only 27.9F up here right now. Pretty cold for partial sunshine at 11am this time of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
