Was walking though the woods on a snowy evening actually. I'm enjoying this because I don't know whether or not this is the last meaningful snow we're tracking this year and since it is my 67th winter, the sands of time and number of snows I will see are dwindling. Of course, towards the end of winter I always have been this way....bittersweet.....sad...but ready to move on. Heading out again soon.

 

Would join you Jerry but still in narcotic-dulled recovery from this bad shoulder injury.

 

Hence have hardly posted. Reading this forum has been the most therapeutic thing this week.

 

But wow what a fascinating storm. Hoping for 6-10" in our woods, and I think that's cautious. This lull was well progged on hi-res NAM and RAP, and we rip after 1am as the ULL says howdy.

Will or Ekster..what do you guys make of that hole over Ri? it's been there much of today..fills in and then opens again. what is causing that?
What goes up must come down. What's very odd is the total drop off in wind, I am sure you got that wind with that squall line just now. Look at velocity radar.

I think Upton will bust hard for south-central CT and LI.. NAM has a secondary qpf max there of 1.25"+ in the next 24 hours. Upton has advisories for 2-4 and 3-6 over that area. I'm thinking 6-12. Radar looking good. 

 

Visibilities quite meh still. Haven't seen any CT station below 1SM even though we've seen a lot of "ripping" and "pounding" posts lol.

The cold drain is more impressive than I thought down that way. With 925mb this this cold, the sfc will cool quite rapidly with steady precip

My point and click has 1-3" tonight and 1-3" tomorrow...I think we might get on the higher end of that at least. Radar looking good and temperature down to 32.5/31 here...

Echoing what Ryan said...it's pretty ho-hum here despite the look on radar. We've been light snow the past 90 minutes or so and probably have a 0.5" on the grass at best. Very fine flakes. Does look like the band is trying to intensify a bit just to our east over western New London county...perhaps we get into some better stuff as that moves overhead.

 

EDIT: I'll just add though that the NAM was pretty unimpressive here until we get towards midnight tonight...that's when it really went to town.

I should go say hi to Cantore...only about a 6-7 minute drive...but the roads are horrendous up here....looked like rt 9 over by him wasn't that bad though.

I met him during the last event in feb 2000. He was in rt 9 in Natick. Storm was ending and I asked if this was it...kind of game me a smart azz answer so I saiid...(well I came from 10 miles west of here and it's 2/hour. Lol...all the color drained from his face.
