Soundings do show some nice omega into the snow growth zone so I'm sure it will come down quite nicely in spots. But we're relying on a very narrow band of heavier snow to produce more than 2-3''. I'm thinking we see more in the way of embedded heavier echos (so very brief over a particular location) and maybe a 3-4 hour window of heavier snows (maybe like 1/2'' per hour rates) Ryan the King Met of CT has 3-6 “ as an FYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest HIRES guidance backs off the rain mix. Well one of the models doing it is the NAM which is giving you some of the most snow. Gotta play with fire sometimes.

If that bad comes as advertised by some of the guidance that I see that happening. I just don't feel confident enough in that occurring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a pretty good crosshair signal briefly for most Bufkit locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just not sure how much to buy into that. The HRRR nearly isn't as impressive and actually seems to indicate a bit more in the way of subsidence. Still have a pretty strongly confluent flow over the region too with a bit of dry air...I guess we saturate but there is a chance the northern fringe of the precip gets eaten away. I could see the heavier banding like southern CT or over Long Island if it were to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the NAM has the right idea about a band developing, however, I think it's handing of it is rather poor. The confluence and subsidence isn't really going to change much moving forward. I think this is something that ends up "suppressing" the precipitation and sort of eats away at the northern fringe of it. The NAM also seems a bit off with how far north it develops the best fronto.

There’s not one piece of guidance only showing c-2 or even 1-3” for CT Well, the IKON is, unless you don't consider them guidance. Granted, they usually are crap.

moneypitmike Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I'm a bit surprised to see this range for my hood. Tonight A chance of snow this evening, then snow after midnight. Snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches. Lows around 20. Northeast winds around 5 mph. Chance of snow near 100 percent. Washingtons Birthday Snow with a chance of freezing drizzle in the morning, then snow likely in the afternoon. Total snow accumulation of 4 to 6 inches. Highs in the upper 20s. Northeast winds around 5 mph, becoming north in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation near 100 percent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneypitmike Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 What I think may happen is that northern Mass (rt 2 area) will likely fare better than most tomorrow while the southern areas get the better goods tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Very surprising there’s few maps on here with 6” with slightly higher amounts. There’s a lot of support for quite a few 5-7” amounts south of 90. There’s a bunch of higher maps elesewhere on tv and BOX , just not here .

Will be interesting to see who wins I think some of it is skepticism based on the fact that this isn't a slam dunk, and anything that has been in question has gone to $hit this season. I can see how many of us can bust low, and would love for it to happen....hopefully the attenuation of that wave slows....but usually ceilings are reached and eclipsed when a system is amplifying upon approach, not decaying.
