Sage advice.  Will be happy with 2” tonight / tomorrow.

33F, calm and nothing happening. Snow on street has melted. Maybe a half inch on the grass. NWS still calling for six inches for me. We'll see. I'm retired so no worries about driving into work tomorrow morning. On the other hand, if my daughter goes into labor tonight and its snowing hard, it'll be hard to talk my wife down. I'll have to bear personal blame for the entire (weather) event.

I think this Box map is fairly close to correct unfortunately.The coast is cooked with these temps. 

I disagree. I'm just west of Hartford and I'm still in the under inch range on the map. We already had just shy of 2 inches from the event today. And if we do get some more tonight that would just add to the totals.

[bobbutts]

Snow and mixing for hours and hours and it's still a net loss to the inch or two of slop remaining on the ground for the day.

Same thing for my area

[Damage In Tolland]

These heavier showers just pound sleet . Then lighten then more sleet

Maybe it's not correct for that area but the map so far is correct for my area. And looking at the recent runs they are on the right track for this area.

[Snowcrazed71]

Yeah we had changed to rain a few hours back, now we're having pretty heavy sleet falling at the moment

[ORH_wxman]

Been getting sleet bombed here off and on. 

[Torch Tiger]

lull here, ~.7 here before the melt exceeded the fall.

[mahk_webstah]

Finally starting to accumulate but radar still shaky here.  I’m ready for one of those normal storms where the warm iladvection moves in dumps for a bit lightens up, then increases as a coastal gets going. But it accumulates right away and it never really stops snowing.  It actually feels like a snowstorm. Even when snowing hard at times today it’s never felt like a snow storm.

Left my house to do some errands, was mixing here at 700 elev, down in town at about 400 elev it was pouring, on the way home it changed to a sleet fest with some snow mixed in.

[Damage In Tolland]

Can we get an idea of timing specifically on flip back to all snow?

[Thunderblizzard]

Had 0.3" earlier today (that now melted) during the brief heavy snow before the slot and flip back... now pinging pretty heavily.

That's odd. You're in southington and I'm in Plainville. We had just under about an inch and a half here. I am up on the hill behind Big Y. About 500 feet up. Maybe being up a little higher made a difference. I do know this morning when we went to church at 7:30 it was just starting to mix, when we got out of really started to snow. Up our hill. It started sticking on the roads halfway up the hill. It's been pinging here now for a little while too

[Johnno]

Peltage here 

[Damage In Tolland]

Radar shows snow line moving SE just west of HFD

[mreaves]

Finally started to snow here after a few spits and sputters.  Large flakes and 32.3°

[AstronomyEnjoyer]

Temp finally dropping, down to 32.5 degrees. Moderate snow with 0.5" new on existing snowpack and 0.2" new on deck.

Latitude plus an extra 250-300 feet I'd wager. Wasn't until around 9:30 or a little before it snowed for a bit here.

Radar looks good in northern mid Atlantic but that’s decaying as it swings east, and the mid levels open back up.

Misconception to think that whole structure swings through tonight in that same state. It’s also going to speed up.

I feel like 2” is optimistic scenario here; and most likely outcome  is a coating.

flipped back to snow in this heavier burst

Let’s make hay while we can.  I share the concerns of our Pope.

I'll take what I can get. Good news, at least in my neck of the woods, is snow growth has been good and it hasn't actually been super wet despite the temp. Didn't actually measure it, but the half inch that has fallen so far actually felt like fairly decent ratio stuff. Let it pile up!

It's not a pure snow line... It's mainly a mix of sleet and snow... Here is be mainly heavy sleet mixed with snow...

Weird latest HRRR has 6”+ there from 5pm on. But radar looks horrible up where you are. I think coating to an inch looks like it. Colossal fail for HRRR this entire system . Time to retire that model.
