As snakebitten as we have been south of Pike i am feeling like a rug pull could happen at last minute. 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).

I’m hedging conservative on this one so far. C-2 for CT. But if there’s an area that could do well it’s yours and the NW hills.

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.

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.

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.

you have good llvl WAA moving into sub-freezing llvl temps. Elevated areas east certainly in line for some decent accumulations. 

I like what I’ve seen from the NAM and now GFS. Let’s make that a trend…

I’d roll the dice with that even here imby.

yeah you're right enough on the line where you have a shot for 1-2''. 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.

Yeah I think coastal areas (especially SE CT) are cooked. Just have to hope for a burst that drops a quick light coating in the overnight period. At least given the look right now.

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.

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. 

Kevin does well on SW flow in the BL. 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.

Hate to see it.

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.

I saw that. 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.

CMC has no closed vortex, I think that is why094c5981356df084453d32708d2458cc.jpg

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 

925 gets dicey for you

925 looks a bit warmer on the EURO than GFS

It is def warmer than GFS...but still likely cold enough for the areas we were already talking about in the interior from near Kevin up through ORH hills.
