Wow!   10-20 for coastal CT...18-24 inland! 

With gusts as high as 60MPH? Give me 10 inches and blizzard like conditions any day over 20 and calm.

 

I do think there is going to be a ton of panic though during early morning Friday when its raining on the coast. The CCB is really going to have to do a lot of work for us to reach those numbers.

My shot from the west coast: I'm surprised the models are this much in agreement since we're not blocked and the systems will phase.  Someone's going to get creamed, but think any spot forecasts are premature.  I like how BOX and Mt. Holly are largely broadbrushing.  

 

Carry on, and keep calm (Tomorrow will be time to "panic and freak out!") :)
