You look to hover 32-33 the whole time once you do snow. May take an hour to wetbulb down closer to freezing. 

What are your thoughts about 650ft in Tolland compared to Kevin at 1k?  Currently 35° here.

He will do better, but I'd say 2-3" perhaps? Wondering if he can do better than 4 there. Seems possible. However as many have said...we really need to see where and how the meat of this precip shield blossoms. If it's overhead for a bit, but then moves east..rates will lessen and temps might warm a tad.

Kind of what I've been thinking the last few days. I've always sucked with the topographic aspect when making maps so I decided to use my brain and have a topographic map pulled up to try and more accurately place the higher totals where greatest elevation is and where that cutoff should be. 

Probably too low in northern Berkshire County where they may get upslope influences. I also do think there could be some 5-7'' totals in the highest elevations northwest of Worcester. That area should have the best combination of a cold enough profile from the sfc up, get into the higher QPF totals with all QPF being snow, and some of the strongest lift into the DGZ and have the best ratios.

Berkshires into the northwest hills of Connecticut...usually pretty easy for them, always all snow and as long as the lift is great they'll have great ratios too. 

Starting to think Boston will end up a bit too much on the warm side for anything outside of some mixing and certainly nothing that is going to stick to anything with the exception of cars sitting in parking lots that haven't been warmed up yet.

Could go crazy trying to decipher where that boundary between something around a coating will occur to as much as 2-3''. May bring that 1-3'' a smudge south.

I just have to say it feels like snow! 38 degrees here right now and I know we will be lucky with a slush factor down here in the Naugatuck valley! I do have to say the snow squalls were a great shock last night got a quick costing of graupel? Looks like dipping dots :) hoping for a delay because first event of the season usually means shock and overreaction :)

If other.models beef up just a tad I wonder if BOX upgrades to a warning? Some people I was talking to earlier were only expecting a couple inches

Last Feb 13th Box never updated us when the 2” they forecast became 12.5” lol…so who knows.

I don't think they have the confidence to light up a large area for a warning. I'm also skeptical of many areas getting that much. Maybe if everything works out a few areas could.

I’m still a bit skeptical but 2”+ would be great. HRRR def colder and RAP has trended colder as well all day…it tries to bring accumulating snow to close-in metrowest Boston like near Jerry’s hood. 

HRRR too.  Odd setup for snow but some cold infusion in the early hours of tomorrow may make it work.
