EastonSN+ Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I love living in CT. Great beaches and Fairfield county is the richest in the country. Billions took place in Westport. However, I will admit its great being a stones throw from NYC and Yankee Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's cold with decent snow growth too. Weekend on the euro is less Bruce Willis with some N-NE flow from 925-850 in srn spots. Tough north of pike. Would like to see one jump again because the good fronto is very close by. Just go ahead and say it....you like the 6z nam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 South coast of CT is by far the worst spot for snow in SNE...SE coast is worst and then SW coast SW of HVN is 2nd worst. The middle south coast there def gets a bit more. The old HVN Tweed airport when it was a first order site averaged in the 34" range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy beaches, clear (yet chilly) water, good food, New England feel. Cape Cod is more like Cape Cloud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWCT is great though, tons to do...close to nyc. sure there are downsides like traffic and high cost of living but that’s practically everywhere surrounding big cities, nowadays.

dendrite Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 SW FL is nice. I wouldn’t raise kids down there, but it’s nice otherwise. The rest of the state is a dumpster fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Saturday needs a better ball of consolidated vorticity...if we can get that, then we'll ramp up the ML fronto better and improve the easterly component of the lower midlevels. This past event managed to improve inside 72 hours, so if this one can do the same thing, I will be more bullish on snows for us. But right now, I'd sell on anything more than C-1 for north of TAN-DXR line. Maybe southern peeps can pull another good event on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Friday is pretty decent. Some good 850-700 forcing and that coincides with snow growth. Probably goes to dryslot and rain but can’t complain in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HVN isn’t a bad spot for snow unlike GON/WST That region is a decent weenie spot for low level cold drain...they can fight off marine influence better than places like GON. Far SW CT near Stamford and SW isn't bad given their lack of latitude...but losing 10-15 miles of latitude hurts in an absolute sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need a bump north, but it’s close to something decent CT, RI, and SE MA. It does have that March 5 2015 look though. The original Bruce Willis event.

The rest of the state is a dumpster fire. The Keys are great - my sister lives there. Delray beach is awesome. Parts around Orlando and near downtown are nice. Some beach towns in the Panhandle and south of Jax are nice. I'd never live there though my Dad and Sister do, and I went to UF. Can't stand the climate. And way too many right wingers.

Yep, its coming....ORH had 17 consecutive years of no below average snow seasons between 1955-1956 ad 1971-1972.....then even though the rest of the 1970s weren't that bad, starting in 1978-1979 it was a 13 year run of beast-in-the-shed mode while Cape Cod was getting 20" snowstorms every 3 years and the mid-atlantic did pretty well.

40/70 Benchmark Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I'd hedge towards widespread 1-3", at least off the immediate coast Friday before ending as light rain, a brush on Saturday night, and then all eyes on the 4/11 ocean storm before engaging in sping.

ORH_wxman Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Just now, CoastalWx said: There’s the confirmation bias. I don't think most people realize that the Cape has some weenie seasons in there when everyone else is struggling...years like '98-'99 or '51-52...they put up a 35 or even 50 spot while places like BDR are sucking on a 15-20 spot....and then the occasional monster like 2004-2005 or 2014-2015. The Cape definitely has a higher standard deviation of seasonal snowfall though....but the average is certainly higher than the coast of SW CT. I do wish we had better data from the Cape....but we have two high quality data points on the extremes...ACK back when it was first order and then the high quality East Wareham coop near the bridge....ACK was just over 29" and East Wareham is a shade under 36".

JC-CT Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Cape may average more, but I bet if it was match play by season SW CT would come out ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
