Disco/Nowcast/Observations for SWFE on Monday/Tuesday Snow to ice

[tamarack]

In this city up here, The school dept does not do early dismissals ever, There is either school or no school, And typically it all depends on the time when it falls and how much, It has to be at least 3-4" before they call it here

 

Makes me think of Ft.Kent.  In my 10 winters there, a total of 1.5 days of school were lost due to wx, both in 1984.  In Feb, a 1-3" forecast turned out to be 18", most of which fell in about 9 hr overnight, so the parking lots weren't plowed out.  The half day came with the March 14-15 dump of 24"+ (I had 26.5", CAR 29.0"), with schools being let out at noon.  There was 12-14" new and 2-3"/hr at that time, and everyone got home safely, even those 25 hilly miles away.  (Rumor was that school was never called because the superintendant lived next door to the HS where his office was located.  He said no, that he'd send his German shepherd out to the street to get the paper and if she made it, schools would be open.  Sometimes he had to help her get back, though...) 

 

Every town has sodium chloride, And some use a liquid calcium chloride as a pre treat...............

 

Fine for driving on the day after, superslime for driving during the storm.

Nice burst! sw ct winter

[leesun]

seems odd to me that the snow is not accumulating on the black top surfaces.  Temps definitely cold enough, but driveways and roads are wet.

Local schools dismissing early.  May catch some parents by surprise but it's probably a good call.  Get the kiddies home.

 

It's 33 degree in New London?

[ineedsnow]

surprisingly it is coming down pretty good under those

In only 10-15dbs radar returns? I guess it's all relative

They've probably been drowned in salt the past week or two with all the mini weenie snow events.

[South Shore Slop]

Nothing here yet. Looking for an inch or 2 of slop to cover the inch or 2 of frozen slop already on the ground.

[ineedsnow]

doing just fine here everything white..

[Sugarloaf1989]

Light snow just started here about 5 minutes ago and there is a dusting already. The temperature is 27F and falling.

[Damage In Tolland]

Snowcovered rds in North Haven. No problems sticking. Snowing nicely

where the sidewalks intersect the driveway, those are snow covered, while the black tops on either side are wet.  That couldn't be salt.  The black tops are always warmer, but surprised as cold as it's been, that it is melting.  It's coming down nicely now and still melting.

[Mr Torchey]

snow globe continues

.25 down

[nutmegfriar]

It's 33 degree in New London?

Personally, I think the Groton/New London temps are often a bit high for this area...I believe the reporting station in Groton is at the airport, which is surrounded by marsh and within a stone's throw of Long Island Sound.

is there some decent icing going on down there?  It's tough for that area to hold cold on SE wind.  

[CoastalWx]

Nice burst of snow moving through Albany.

[Yukon Cornelius]

Let's just repeat the same mantra...always a storm 10 days out...always a storm 10 days out

[weatherMA]

Flurries in Plymouth now even at 16/-2.

[dryslot]

Dry air is making a sandwich out of that leading edge of the precip up here

[powderfreak]

A couple tenths or so here so far at 1,500ft. 

 

 

-SN and 16F.

 

Snow growth lackluster but slowly getting better.  I think its dry air in the lower levels that's eating the flakes more than anything.

[ChrisM]

home must be getting blasted pretty good, echoes look like **** as they move E though

[Mr Torchey]

Another good band incoming, wonder if we stay snow
