Someone might come in with 10+

box radar doesnt do band justice

upton radar shows that band and it's insane from wilton, ct over to Northern parts of bridgport and the town to bridgeport's north over on a line to killingsworth ct ... 2-3 /hr rates under dark green/yellow .

Wrong event....that one had great snowgrowth and took place on Sunday.

I meant 12/13/07. This is it without the better 2007 dynamics.

Just spent 90 minutes in the woods on a snowy day. You guys should get out in it. It may be sugary but the sweetness added to your weenie soul would be well worth it. Maybe 2 inches otg now.

This is such a tight system that the good frontogenesis band is not that far north of the low.

The frontogensis above 850mb is pretty weak too...if the system had been a bit more robust, we were trying to get the 600-700mb fronto up in this region, but its kind of diffuse as most of the forcing is concentrated below that level....so we are seeing it all focus along the 800-900mb fronto.

Yeah good point. Models had good lift at 850 to 700, but it was far south. If this was even a little stronger everything would have been a little more organized to the north as advection processes and frontogenesis would follow. In the end the forecasts wont be too bad, just perhaps a little on

The lower end on some of ranges.
