Shocked at the lack of enthusiasm here.. this is our first snowfall of the season! Not bad at all considering it's only Nov 13th too.

I was up until 2 am tracking this event and the event next week. It's always fun tracking the first flakes of the season. :pimp:

Although its going to amout to a very small amount of snow, it is the first flakes of the season so it is noteworthy. I will say i jumped ship on this ant, if i get accumulating snow it will be a pleasant surprise

I don't care if it doesn't stick. I just want to see flakes in the air. :snowing:

Forecast boundary layer would suggest rain at the start this
evening across western zones. Then colder air moves in...plenty
cold enough aloft to support snow. Used raw NAM data...with edits
due to resolution around Long Island...for temperatures tonight...which
obviously has an impact on weather type. Felt MOS just did not
capture temperature trends for the tonight period.

In general...rain or a rain/snow mix changes to snow from west to
east before ending between 6z-12z.

If precipitation is heavier...column may cool enough for a quicker
transition than currently forecast.

Could see up to an inch of snow...with perhaps slightly higher
amounts across the higher elevations in southern CT. These amounts per
wpc westward discussion/graphics...and collab with surrounding offices.
NYC and Li would only see trace amounts...maybe a dusting to a
half an inch. However...this can change. Please see storm totals
for best estimates at this time.

Watch this warm layer around 925mb...rooted there despite cooling at 850mb and sfc

Interesting. I wonder how much the RAP's long-range warm bias is at play (if at all) given that the NAM is much cooler at 925mb.

Agreed, but you are using the RAP (a very inconsistent model, IMO; especially outside of 8 hours).

I'm more inclined to use the rgem/ukmet/euro combo this close to an event.

Looks good in my backyard on that map. Going to hope my elevation = winning tonight

 

Heck, if the trends continue, I could push 2 inches

 

Yup. Rgem is picking up on the elevation. Which is why it's a superior short range model.
