As WAR expands, do our snow chances increase? First wave may produce a middling event-solid advisory and possible low end warning for MLK Weekend

Radar looks pretty good. I was nervous when I saw the temps earlier and was thinking this would be a bust for my area. Hoping the NWS had the right idea sticking to their guns calling for 6-8 inches here. I would be happy with that.

Radar has definitely improved some but I also expected it to. It looked pretty ragged earlier. The question is how long we can rip 1-2” per hour stuff. If it’s only a couple hours worth then it’s gonna be hard to break 4-5”…but I’m getting a little more optimistic to try and beat that.

34F (down 5F in 30 min)

We're beating the 8pm mark for good snowgrowth and accumulation

Looking upstream, if 850 fronto is any prognostic, Boston metro into northeast MA will crank 9-11pm

[Damage In Tolland]

Solid SW to NE band over us 

[Baroclinic Zone]

Some stuff to watch moving forward for those in SE MA. 
Lower level front banding as we cool off. We wait till transition as was expected given antecedent warmth at lower levels.

Some of these reports from NJ and now CT have me guardedly optimistic for later when this thing gains some intensity..

Areas that have been mostly snow may have a chance; but area like me that just flipped within the last hour maybe 2-4?

I know but snow gives traction thankfully.  Can’t miss this because it’s pounding now.

Snow is getting heavy in south/SW CT. Large dendrites piling up quickly, i got an inch just like that. Wind is picking up as well.

Nice band along 84 from Tolland into Ma
