I think all your points are correct and throw in there was zero mention of freezing rain in any local, media , or NWS outlet last night that no one had any idea. Even me the weenie had no idea until I stepped outside to run . This was a recipe for disaster . And it's really freezing drizzle, which is harder to forecast and more dangerous for accretion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NW_of_GYX Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Big fatties falling. Is this from the same system as Thursday-Fri? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalcottWx Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Wtf happened overnight? I wake up and half the roads are shut down due to ice unexpectedly and now our meteorologists are warning about the storm coming west LOL. Now this is the type of set-up I live for. Nothing better than unexpected wintry precip. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Variety of items are allowing or allowed this to occur; moist / damp near surface air layer; no meaningful drying late yesterday or overnight; apparent condensation frost / dew on some roads; hard to detect drizzle / light rain producing processes and borderline cold road surfaces? Tremendous variations in road surfaces across relatively short distances which gave many drivers a false sense of security...

Last night's RGEM did suggest some possible troubles, but had literally no other model support... Just a bevy of things came together. There is still a solid mix of tiny flakes and freezing drizzle falling now at 27. I think the hills may have helped provide a bit of lift as well . Traffic thru Town is a disaster with Tr highway closed. Happens everytime they shut 84 here. Weekends make it worse with all the travelers. All out of state plates .. learning about good old hick town Tolland . It is gridlock right now down 74 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be pretty surprised if anyone got more than 2 or 3 inches. Most will prob just get a C-1” type deal. You want solid lift for at least 6 hours if we’re talking plowable and most guidance is keeping the goods offshore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 10 minutes ago, CoastalWx said: I’m still not really feeling this. Too many things could go wrong. Yeah...never have been myself. The situational synopsis is basically the same. Historically these backing occluded core wrapped gyres are both over sold in model QPF plumes (...verified to have been the case), but there are physical reasons to go lower. There are rare events, but with no way to know if this is one of those... I'd almost argue that relative to this sort of phenomenon, exceeding 3 inches is rarer. ..I'd also be suspect of west penetration, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
