TBH, I won't mind it ending up all wet, as I know its only going be a nuisance and I don't need another hour stacked onto my already arduous commute. Not enough to take the day off-

I know how you feel, my job is much easier without snow but I love snow, 2015 was hard inspecting houses, needed snowshoes, it was so epic I loved it regardless if I had to work harder.

Those Directweather guy is insufferable, too....every video is headlined by "get ready"..."prepare now" and every winter outlook is an Armageddon secnario for the east coast.

probably trying to pander to the extreme end of the "preparer's mindset" that is out there these days, adjacent to the conspiracy theory stuff.  "buy my special tactical flashlight, you'll need this when the zombies come."  it's profitable, unfortunately.

That is who I thought of...did you see he called called out for presenting an Accuwx product as the "Mark Model"?

These YT "forecasters" are such BS... and yet even people who SHOULD know better can't help looking. My best friend used to send me links asking "what do you think about this" Had to tell him to stop, he gets mad I won't even look for a minute LOL.

Must be my lack of perspective...seems like a lot to me, but must require millions.

Even on YouTube, you need to be at 200K plus subscribers to be making anything significant. A friend in NH has a mechanical repair channel and does really well, but at least it's an educational content unlike these fake Mets

Soundings tomorrow morning at HFD and IJD

Looking at BDL on the NAM bufkit...NAM isn't bad for BDL. I was actually a bit surprised the ratio was as high as it is but the lift into the DGZ isn't too bad. This could be a case where BDL ends up with 2-3'' (which may be on the high side but I think its doable) while HFD ends up with like a coating.

I'm wondering if they're going to throw up some winter weather advisories for Litchfield Hartford talon in Windham counties?

I would think Litchfield and Tolland would get advisories eventually.

I don’t have much in the way of expectations. An inch of snow to just get on the board would be a win to me and mby.

GFS is basically all snow from 495 outward. Not sure I buy it but we’ll see if short term guidance comes in cooler as we get closer this afternoon. 

Have to see how temperatures respond over the next hour or two. Have high clouds starting to filter into western sections now. Just looking at SPC mesoanalysis but looks like mainly like 33-35 within that area. But pretty big differences in the NAM/GFS...looks like the NAM has a little push of warmer air in the BL later this evening and overnight...noting some big differences between the 925 llvl jet on nam versus gfs too.

Litchfield City on into the high terrain areas of far western/northwestern HFD cty and then Northern Tolland on into northern Windham counties would be where I'd expect advisory statements.

Sfc temps are mostly fake…look at 925 to get a good idea. Some areas might even radiate a bit right after sundown before clouds get thick (esp further northeast)…but that won’t matter if 925 is like +1.

Tough call as to how far north you have to go up the I-91 corridor to get more than a slushy cover or an inch?

Probably far southeastern areas get close but seems like 925 will remain cold enough for most. There has been some wavering on this, but it seems the overall trend through the week has been towards a colder 925.

One thing I like about Wxnerds site is the granularity they have. On the 12z HRRR you can see 950 temps actually warm overnight near Kevin. So you are fighting wetbulbing and WAA at the same time. Verbatim it's likely snow when heavy, but could get real sloppy or be a mix if rates are weak.

Yeah it really is, you're also toying with how quickly the precip shield blossoms because even if it remains on the colder side, the precip shield may blossom just a bit too late to produce enough QPF to bring 1-2'' along that corridor. There might be too many negating or fighting forces...probably be best and forecast/hope for something upwards of an inch.

Sick I'll have to check them out. I wish on COD they had more layers available for the HRRR but they only have sfc and 700. Wish they could also include point-and-click soundings like TT does.

Soundings are great, but sometimes I just want like a horizontal view to see what’s happening over a wider area.
