February 5th beefed up swfe thread-let's get some December 2007 juju,

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Ha!  All you guys were waiting for the NWS to bring the lines up north more and they brought them Down!  I'm almost into the 10-14 now.  

 

Ray still think's I'm getting 6".  

 

 

I don't know about the BOX map...

 

 

Yeah, I have no doubts about the BOX mets skills (considering I have none) but we'll see how the bump S works out.

[sankaty]

I'll work on one after dinner. Haven't had a chance this afternoon. 

Thanks!

[ineedsnow]

So close to being mostly snow here can always hope

[DomNH]

I'll get 10'' or so here for what seems like an upper echelon SWFE...going a foot+ is too bullish.

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Juiced.

BTV WRF run-total precip absolutely hammers S.VT and S.NH....

 

Man what a crushing from Syracuse to Concord on this model.

 

[leesun]

Any word on the RGEM?

[moneypitmike]

THoughts from channel 40 out this way.

 

27.0/20

 

 

[Damage In Tolland]

Any word on the RGEM?

Came in a touch colder than 12z was

[Baroclinic Zone]

Love me WAA dumpage. One last peek at the 0z runs tonight and it's all she wrote.

[leesun]

I assume we still ping for a time on the RGEM?

FU slot around these parts.

Yeah--kinda funny.  It fringes me with good stuff.

 Three schools and WNEC have closed already.

[Clinch Leatherwood]

Three schools and WNEC have closed already.

Schools should really close up shop everywhere. Tell parents now so they can prepare by drinking lots of wine tonight.

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

Eric fisher (channel 4) very bullish for all. Has 6-12 for everyone away from immediate coast. With 12+ for a large area as well.

Bouchard is as well, but not to that extent.

Just throwing it out there

Rumor around campus here is they will not be canceling until the morning, at least. Trying to be hardos I guess

There's no way from ORH south doesn't sleet for a time..longer the farther south you go..but the WAA thump is gonna be intense

[JC-CT]

Parents shouldn't wait for the schools to tell them, start preparing now. That's what responsible parents do.

 

Is there any real risk of impactful freezing rain in CT or are we just talking pingers?

My wife and my anniversary today. Celebrating 1995-96, the winter of our marriage on the coldest day of the year ahead of a 2014 snowstorm.

6-9".

[RUNNAWAYICEBERG]

Just wondering down here in the Naugatuck Valley will we have to worry about an icing event?

Sent from my iPhone

Certainly in the cards. If its .25" ice on top of 4-6" of snow, not that concerning. But if we zr earlier and have .50" of it after 2" of snow, its trouble.... Esp rte 8 corridor.

[BuildingScienceWx]

Check out the NE regional radar on the NWS page (loop). WTH is that radar echo that looks like a commit streaking from Maine to PA? What would cause that??

Happy anny Gerald!!

 

Enjoy the snow.

 

We have some work to do for Sunday storm

Pretty inconsistent media hype / public awareness this winter... compare this to the 1/22/14 dud when at this time 1/21/14, Logan flights were already canceled, Boston parking ban was announced, most schools were closed, universities had delayed openings in anticipation of an early AM storm.... this storm clearly will have a much bigger impact than that one.

[Snowciopath]

Ha, what a terrible map by WFSB...  BDR getting the same amount as BOS?  Yeah don't think so, I think they got the wrong storm.

It's been a weird year.  Yesterdays event they didn't care about either.  To me this is a clear cut...close the schools.  But yet nobody has.

 

Anyway models would argue that KTAN is dead on for us with accums but I still hedge lower on this one  here.  We seem to have issues with SE type flows at times...best precip shoots W&NW of here then we wait for the death band with the flip to come through...

[weathafella]

Congrats and many happy returns. With your anniversary track record for snow ..can't wait for your 25th :-)

Thank you! At this point the goal is to be breathing then....lol.

Closing early in the day reeks havoc on administrators/RAs who have to deal with weekend behavior issues... we much prefer the early morning call.

I don't think they consider outside CT for their maps.
