Starting off as sleet here in Enfield. So much for an all snow storm.

Not happening this winter. 

[Sugarloaf1989]

It's not really sleet, but  snow pellets.  It's mixed with snow, but snowgrowth is really poor.

[SnowGoose69]

Look on the bright side.  You could be us down here Wednesday.  We might miss two events NE and SW in a span of 72 hours.   I would still feel okay tonight the closer you get to the coast away from the Cape and south coast areas.  I would be increasingly worried if I was NW of a BOS-ORH-BDL-DXR line that this might underperform 

[WinterWolf]

It was more Groupel here when it started...but quickly went over to an all snow set up now.

Snowgrowth looks good to me driveway and street already white.. 

[Sugarloaf1989]

Looks like snowgrowth is getting better. I see the forecast has freezing drizzle mixed with snow tomorrow.

Can't be a bad sign up this way...

[Sugarloaf1989]

Still mixing with snow pellets.

[NECT]

Quick burst of snow/graupel. 29º/21º

Will be interesting if nothing else. Or maybe not.

Nah.....all snow here now.....

[Thunderblizzard]

Snow has pretty much shut off here, just some flurries.

[Hoth]

Not a flake or pellet to be found yet.

[ice1972]

Wow.....Hartford gonna be right on the good side of the line it looks like...

[ice1972]

Thank you Jesus

Radar looks like crap in southern areas.  Would like to see a more filled in presentation overall.

Just took the dog out and surprised to see it snowing here. Good stuff

HRRR looks the same as radar now fills in hr 4

NAM actually seems to have pegged the positioning of the banding very well (I was certainly wrong about that going back to a previous post), though we’ll see if it’s as hefty as advertised. It’s bit your typical band of heavy snow...looks like some heavier echos within. Looks like S CT sucks on subsidence this go around 

[40/70 Benchmark]

Man, kid from Amesbury died snowmobiling up in Poland, ME....

[weatherwiz]

Coming down quite decently outside

Hrrr has it filling in after 6z, it still gives us 3-4 inches despite the crappy radar now. We shall see, as of now things aren't looking very good.. 30.4/23

[Ginx snewx]

Panic room cancel for SCT, not done out east

Yeah just looked at it.  Definitely some lost precip to start in the subby zone between the  precip offshore and steadier precip northern ct.  

[ineedsnow]

About time my area isn't in the fooked zone!! Coming down good!

[DavisStraight]

Light snow, grounds covered

[ORH_wxman]

03z RAP shows the dryslot currently in S CT back to SE NY very well and has it filling in between 06z and 09z. 

RAP actually goes pretty gangbusters on the 03z run. It's been ramping up every run.

Sweet spot may be between I 84 and the pike...at least until OES kicks in later.
