No way I’m making that 8-12 range…currently at about a single inch

Man idk how it’s gonna snow that much when the low is so far east. I only have a few inches right now (though it appears the snowfall rate has increased over the past hour or so). Hopefully they see something we don’t, possibly the low getting tugged back NW?

...BANDS OF HEAVY SNOW WITH NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS WILL AFFECT
MIDDLESEX AND PARTS OF NEW HAVEN COUNTIES...

HAZARDS...Heavy snow and near blizzard conditions. Bands of heavy
snow at the rate of 2 to 3 inches per hour, accompanied by winds of
up to 40 mph will reduce visibility to less than a quarter of a
mile, and cause considerable blowing and drifting of snow.

LOCATION AND MOVEMENT...At 1027 AM EST, radar indicated two bands of
heavy snow, one extending from near Milford northward to Cheshire,
and another from Madison and Westbrook northward to Middletown and
Easter Hampton. These heavy snow bands were nearly stationary.

LOCATIONS IMPACTED INCLUDE...
New Haven, Meriden, Milford, Middletown, Guilford, Clinton, East
Hampton, Old Saybrook and Durham.

SAFETY INFO...Travel is strongly discouraged! If you must travel,
slow down and allow extra time to reach your destination, and bring
a winter survival kit. If you become stranded, stay with your
vehicle.

Can’t believe Upton upped amounts with their morning update. Their forecast yesterday afternoon was actually pretty reasonable. They bumped me from 10-14 to 12-18. Just barely likely to hit 12” and that 12-18 zone extends quite a bit west of here where it doesn’t stand a chance of verifying.

Surreal to see this as my forecast from BOX.

Tonight
Snow likely, mainly before 11pm. The snow could be heavy at times. Areas of blowing snow. Cloudy, then gradually becoming partly cloudy, with a low around 11. Wind chill values as low as -8. Windy, with a northwest wind 22 to 29 mph, with gusts as high as 47 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible.

I have no idea how much snow we have. I went for a walk around the block and would say maybe 14”? The drifts are making it’s almost impossible to tell what’s OTG. It’s a lot of snow for sure, cars are almost gone. Can hear the wind ripping outside and when I was walking into the wind it was unbearable. Hoping we can make it to 2 feet.
