CT Valley Snowman Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Most of Northern Litchfield County is at or just below freezing and with heavier precipitation moving in there it must be a real winter wonderland up in the hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 925mb is def warming slower than models had it...esp yesterday. Still -2C from just south of HFD up through ORH. Most guidance had it well above 0C by 18z, which is why they showed basically no snow east of the Berkshires/Litchfield hills. I don't think it's a monster bust...but it will allow a lot of people to see some minor accums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backedgeapproaching Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Temp down to 33.6--oscillating between -SN and SN(mostly -SN). Having trouble sticking to much besides a few trees, elevated surfaces, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 part of that wait another month for a system like this, thing we were discussing earlier.. if there was any snow pack at all in Ontario as this high built it... even if that had happened now (forget thanks giggedy) we'd have probably white-walled this sucker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Valley Snowman Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 you can tell that the western areas that were able to get the precipitation in during the morning and also get the heavier rates were able to wetbulb right to freezing. Areas east of Interstate 91 got well into the upper thirties in many cases before it started and without the heavier rates to really bring down the temperature it looks like it's going to be mainly mid 30s and non accumulating snows with perhaps a few coatings in the hilltops east of the Connecticut River.

At any rate, this is still really impressive for October...the vast majority of October snows usually tend to come on the tail end of a system or an anafront type event. Very rare to get really any type of snow on a front end thump in October...at least at our general latitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
