18z rap loves the pike regionup into S NH/S VT for 6"+...not sure I'm buying that but the early start of the snow is a good sign. Not a ton of virga it seems like...surprisingly. 

HRRR is trying to advertise this as well.

GYX has gone from Advisory to Warning, ft

 12z deterministic guidance as well as many ensemble
members have increased QPF some. In addition, coastal
frontogenesis tonight looks to enhance snowfall on portions of
the coastal plain through a period of stronger low level forcing
and better snow growth. Low pressure will likely form along the
coastal front off the southernmost ME coast as the short wave
trough continues to approach. This low will move northeastward
overnight and Sunday morning very near the Maine coast and
likely act to locally enhance snowfall rates. As such we have
bumped up snowfall totals a bit across some of the area (mainly
on the Maine coastal plain northeastward to the Midcoast). Have
therefore converted the winter weather advisory to a winter
storm warning where zone averages are 6 inches or more.

I’d be pleasantly surprised with 6 for my location. Radar doesn’t look like it would support that, We’ll see.

It will fill in and ramp up after 6pm. I was just checking models and most have the bulk falling between 6-10PM for us.

We are at about an inch and by this time more were only supporting 1/4-1/2" by this time, so we're ahead of the curve.

4-6" is most likely for interior southern CT.

I don’t get people. It was always a heavy window from 7-12

You mean OKX=Upton more than Boston? I very much doubt it unless it really does come in like a wall down here. We run the risk of the fairly typical in SWFE hour long moderate snow burst followed by mini dryslot where we warm up on southerly winds then white rain/rain/slop when the real stuff comes in. OKX is pretty far east in Suffolk County, susceptible to the torch on south winds and will warm up fast if that lull happens. If you mean NYC it could happen if that precip min is real in eastern Mass. I think a chunk of the storm is rain down here but we have more precip overall. The southerly winds will eventually win out even with this airmass, it could spike up to 40 for a while. It could be a lousy inch or so if the lull happens or it really could be 3-4" if it pounds for a few hours and the warmth can be held off. Our max down here is 3-4" pretty sure. At least it shouldn't be a long enough period of rain to wash it all away but it'll still be quite forgettable. 

BOS will still be ahead of us in the seasonal snow totals anyway regardless. :axe:  Lousy winter all around though so far.

Yes, meant KNYC aka Central Park. Maybe not now, we'll see

Latest OKX maps. I can agree with the inland numbers around 5-6". But HVN gets more than 2 thats for sure. They are already close that.

 

 

Yeah, I was just driving home from Stony Creek about an hour ago and it seemed like we had at least a couple of inches already... The intensity of the snow has tapered since then, but it's still snowing and I agree the total's gonna be well over 2 inches... But does it really matter?  Whether it's 2, or 4, or even 6, its all gonna get washed away by the rain, at least it will here in New Haven.
