-SN (.25" coating), 29.69F, NNE 5 G17, 21.4F/20.2F 

This is how to start a nor'easter, LFG

[Damage In Tolland]

Cold and powder as far as eye sees 

[dendrite]

You’ll have pow for most of the WAA, but you’ll start getting pasty when you wake up around 4am. If a wire to wire paster is what you want then yeah, I agree with you it won’t be that.

SNOW HAS STARTED!!!!

LEt's go!!!

[codfishsnowman]

Light snow

[UnitedWx]

After having flurries for the last 2 hours the intensity has really picked up in the last 10 minutes. Already starting to see powder drifting around on the driveway

[Torch Tiger]

OES is kinda crushing <3  almost 1"  let's goooo

[NeonPeon]

Nice light snow. Kindof the routine here, a lick of snow on the front end into rain, and then underperforming snow on the back end.

[Sey-Mour Snow]

First 3 hours of snow as of 8:30pm have amounted to .6" the DEMON has just moved overhead with 30-40dbz for the next while it seems. Lets see if we can get to 6" or more for this storm..

So, yet Again, Mother nature has found a way to have EVERYONE North of me, West of me, AND NE of me AND East of me get snow BEFORE I get snow.

   Areas affected...portions of southern New England

   Concerning...Heavy snow 

   Valid 070135Z - 070730Z

   SUMMARY...Moderate to heavy snow will slowly increase in coverage
   across portions of southern New England this evening. Snowfall rates
   of 1-2 in/hr are possible within the heaviest band late this evening
   into the overnight hours.

   DISCUSSION...As of 0130 UTC, regional radar and surface analysis
   showed a broad area of stratiform precipitation ongoing across parts
   of the Mid Atlantic and southern New England. Associated with an
   approaching coastal low, periodic moderate to heavy snow/rain has
   been observed within this precipitation over the last several hours.
   Slow northeastward progression of the heaviest precip has been noted
   with the primary east-west oriented band stretching from
   east-central PA to Long Island Sound. Driven by strong low-level
   warm advection ahead of the deepening coastal low, moderate to heavy
   snow should slowly increase in coverage over portions of southern
   New England late this evening and into the overnight hours. Rates
   between 1 to 2 in/hour are possible within the primary band, though
   there remains some uncertainty on how quickly the heaviest snow will
   lift northward. Light snow has already been reported across parts of
   RI, MA and CT but, regional model soundings and observed ceilings
   above 4k feet suggest some low-level dry air remains in place.
   Inland moisture advection and the approach of the surface low should
   slowly cool and moisten the low-level thermodynamic profile
   sufficiently for higher snow rates after 03z. Periods of moderate to
   heavy snow will likely continue into the overnight hours.

There’s a 25% chance this may over-perform. It’s happens for us once in a while lol…

Kind of looks meh on radar. Hopefully it fills in because it looks more banded on radar.
