NAM's big storm for Feb 24th ...there's some reason to see why it can be done

[Damage In Tolland]

March 1 storm has turned into a warm cutter I see

[CT Rain]

I figured those areas could be pretty close. You're out there, so you'd know better than anyone. LOL now they issue the advisories. Oh well better late than never. Nothing here in Greenwich. Precip has shut off and never was of the frozen variety.

Yeah Greenwich go shafted... New Haven has 2 or 3" downtown.

[ChrisM]

wonder how much snow I have OTG at home, ground is covered prettty good here at UConn

[ChrisM]

is this band a huge snowband coming through in a minute or is that a sleet signature?

[Clinch Leatherwood]

Wrong thread.

[CoastalWx]

3.9" may be my best storm lol.

Another example of how the guidance needed to be used collectively. Euro had the right idea but was too light in that narrow band.

Bouchard had the right idea but was too far north a few miles. Has to be ripping at home, Bourne rotary cam.

[MJHUB]

Pinging in seekonk, just a little to warm for snow, some flakes but the dam pingers woke me up. Still looking at under 6 inches for the year.

[mattb65]

3.9" may be my best storm lol.

Yeah - looks like most of the good stuff will stay south of here. At least Ray will be happy to not have to dust off the spoiler on his celica.

[Damage In Tolland]

Man the Pike and north didn't get anything did they. Crazy..Maybe round 2 is for them

What? 10 am? Looks almost over to me from W to E

[ineedsnow]

had a brief burst of very heavy snow but been light to moderate ever since half inch new my dad works at bdl and he said theres over an inch there

[grinch1989]

Coming in at just under 4" in shelton.

[Ginx snewx]

About to get under that band, let's see what shakes out

[CoastalWx]

RI getting 1-2" per hour.

[snowman21]

What? 10 am? Looks almost over to me from W to E

They're including some buffer. It's still coming down pretty heavily in parts of eastern CT.

[CoastalWx]

Good shot for thunder along south coast later on.

[moneypitmike]

I need 5 inches for me to stop posting for 3 months..I have about 2 so far

Congrats southerners. Not a flake has fallen as far as I can tell.

[Modfan]

They're including some buffer. It's still coming down pretty heavily in parts of eastern CT.

Yeah, not this part though...31.6 and only a coating on the cars and grass, roads are wet

[ski MRG]

29/28, snow. I was surprised to wake up to falling snow as the Blizz forecast model had been indicating 50's with windswept rain today. Oh well, I guess even the best forecasts can bust. I'll just try to enjoy the snow, Time to ski, enjoy the snow everybody!!!

[CoastalWx]

Another example of how the guidance needed to be used collectively. Euro had the right idea but was too light in that narrow band.

Bouchard had the right idea but was too far north a few miles. Has to be ripping at home, Bourne rotary cam.

And another example of why you blend and find compromises..hence the GFS and using mesoscale models to help with nowcasting.

[CoastalWx]

Yeah - looks like most of the good stuff will stay south of here. At least Ray will be happy to not have to dust off the spoiler on his celica.

BOS was out of the game one way or another. That's why I never felt good.

[Modfan]

Ginx looks like he's getting crushed??

[powderfreak]

mesoscale banding trumps downsloping off 1000ft bumps when winds are calm at 10M in the valley.

lol

Glad you are getting some snow man. Hit up the local slopes today?

[CT Rain]

Over to drizzle here. Storm's over. Will call it 4.5" here in Southington.

[CT Rain]

lol

Glad you are getting some snow man. Hit up the local slopes today?

Was thinking about Sundown depending on when I get out of work. Mashed potatoes topped off with some drizzle though - not exactly fluffy powder!

[Damage In Tolland]

This last band has some good snow with it

[Ginx snewx]

About to get under that band, let's see what shakes out

2.5 new and getting blitzed again

[Damage In Tolland]

Temp dropped to 30.2..maybe some zr dz as it end s a little later?
