What did Euro have in Ct for qpf?

1.4" over tol county

[N. OF PIKE]

5H just closed off!

 

100 miles E of Delaware

 

Time for the Mega Death BAND to form next 1-2 hours

 

72 mph gust in ACK

What did Euro have in Ct for qpf?

 

Western CT 0.6" to 1.7" Northeastern CT, you're in about 1.2-1.5" area

Weird numbers given what's unfolding in CT.... clearly clueless on the band over you

[weatherwiz]

Man its like right there in east hartford.....come on

 

It will end up pivoting over us.  Rates here have been slowly picking up and getting much better dendrites too...much healthier looking flakes falling.

What are your thoughts overall..based on what you see radar wise etc? Not for my my area..just overall SNE

[Arnold214]

It's gotten very grumpy the last 30-45 minutes. Power about to take a dirt nap, flashing.

Grew up just NE of there under the OE. I think it's the slight upslope...eventually the bands just run out of gas. It was that way in 78 too.

i think it could also be associated with some sort of standing wave pattern that develops in these intense systems when winds in the column are a certain direction. Somebody has to take the fall while others benefit.

crushage. My folks are getting absolutely smoked right now out on LI. Very reminiscent of '13 but may not be quite as prolonged.

Not so sure that's a great thing 500 just closed off.  I could be wrong b/c I'm a little rusty but I think once 500 begins to close off it's a matter of time (or it's a signal) that the system will occlude and that will eventually shut off the warm/moist inflow into the storm and over the cold air so eventually precip begins to fade and rates decrease...but I could be completely wrong here.  been meaning to find more info on this the past few days.  

[40/70 Benchmark]

Sounds like a jet roaring over my house....I never get that here

Yeah it's chokeage out there currently. These rates remind me of Jan 26-27 2011 storm..That was 3-4 per hour..and that's about what this is.

It may not be, I thought it kind of lifted some of the support for that band NE in the next 1-2 hours.  Can't tell yet, but can see erosion in SW CT and LI.

 

this stuff coming up from the SE...wow.

[SnowMan]

Any idea if the deform band makes it here? That euro snow map liked good for here.

i was just commenting on that type of thing to a friend. It hasnt even started snowing yet at my place and the winds are already cranking bigtime. I never get that here. Who knows what this sucker has in store...

[TalcottWx]

Looks like the band is sliding slightly SE ever so slowly.

[40/70 Benchmark]

Man, this is the antithesis of Dec 2003, and PD II....gradient right on rt 128, but the heavier banding is OUTSIDE of it this time.

Gradient won't be THAT steep, but.....

 

 

Only one OCM nailed that....Kevin Lemanowicz on FOX.

[Clinch Leatherwood]

anyone else just lose power?

[mostman]

anyone else just lose power?

Where are you?

[TalcottWx]

It's almost as if the banding doesn't matter. Rates continue to impress and I'm in 'subsidence'.

[40/70 Benchmark]

This is going to be numero uno in my book, me think.

 

Move over, 4-1-97...

[Damage In Tolland]

I'm at 9 inches

Yup, Been howling here with gust to 25 mph and no flakes yet

[Quincy]

Just cracked 12.0" inches. "Only" 1.2 inches over the past 30 minutes.

[TalcottWx]

10-12" here estimated

[N. OF PIKE]

Band expanding and centering a bit east ....C CT SE CT E CT into extreme RI and E-C L.I starting to remind me of a EPIC Band setting up . Actually looks like it will just be a giant BLOB of very heavy snow by the time all that moisture near Block island and south of ACK/MVY pile in

 

I think that snow hole in RI is going buh bye soon

Whiteout right now!  Man

Based on what I see..It still looks like a massive area of some big totals..with a few zones ridiculous amounts

Just started snowing very lightly in South Windham. Wind is ripping for sure, it's gonna be a very windy day once this sucker gets here

[mostman]

The band is expanding.

I wouldn't go that far...

Those NStar numbers don't seem right? Or is my info wrong?
