But on the other hand these types of events are the ones that have done well in this area. I am treading softly Southeast of 84 is probably cooked. I think you should be in line for a good 1-2'' and maybe upwards of 3 depending on exactly how quickly this strengthens. One thing to watch Wednesday is how high temperatures get too. Temperatures could struggle (away from the coast) to get much above the upper 30's. Cloud cover will increase so temperatures won't drop much during the evening. Certainly elevations will be favored for 3-4'' of snow but most should at least a good coating to 1'' (away from the coast). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if there’s an area that could do well it’s yours and the NW hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see how this evolves in time for the NW Hills but I'm hedging towards highest amounts from Worcester County in northeast Connecticut with about 2-4''...I think there is a low probability someone could pull off a 5 or 6'' total. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NW just seems to do better generally not having to deal with a torched BL. Saving a tenth of qpf could add a little more there compared to my valley backyard that’ll be 17° this morning and struggle to drop below 38 when it matters lol. Agree that the best “dynamics” are east, but not sure the ceiling is that high. We hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to watch for this to really blossom and just in enough time for a narrow zone of heavy snow to impact those areas I mentioned. Have to check out some 12z bufkit soundings for ORH and IJD and see what they show for lift/snow growth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorEastermass128 Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 It’s kind of nice knowing I have zero shot with this. Hoping the Hills can squeeze out an inch or three before the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we know, snowfall rates can do alot so if we can at least get some signals for a period of heavier precipitation rates that will go along way for marginal areas. That might not be enough though for coastal areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least given the look right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 Some pretty decent snow growth profiles on the GFS for central CT up through central MA and even getting up into NE MA. GFS BL is decently cold too so I'd expect accumulations easily in the elevations and prob even lower areas too near 495 and down toward N Windham county and NW RI if that verified. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 SW flow may be good for the wrn slopes like Hubby to Kevin. Man a month from now would work probably right to the coast. Hoping for some flakes here at least. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His terrain actually causes noticeable upslope in that direction unlike a NE wind. His area to W ORH hills will prob do the best in SNE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's still something unsettling about the Canadian suite giving almost zero precip while the GFS is trying to spit out low-end warning level snows in some spots. I'm guessing the canadian suite is mostly out to lunch, but the GFS is likely too juiced. Euro/NAM seem like a decent compromise right now hedging more toward GFS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's cold aloft and seems like the system juices up when winds go srly off the waters to the south. You have good isentropic lift and a strong s/w. But the old timer myth in me says it's hard to go big on south winds like Brian said earlier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 12z Euro pretty juiced up in Maine, Moreso then 06z, Warning snow for a good portion of the state, Portions of NH/VT and advisory snow further south into MA/CT verbatim. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 I can think of a few events like this with SW upslope here. The funny thing is I recall Hunch area and here both having about the same amount of snow. You can kind of see that reflected on some of qpf guidance today . We’ll see what happens . Hopefully no rug pulls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
