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

[Bryan63]

Ripping out, roads covered already. Hopefully can make up some ground and make most of next few hours.

[EastonSN+]

Ended up with 3.25 in Easton CT.

6.5 on the year.

Heaviest of the storm now. Not gonna last super long but these are the moments we wait for in winter. Eyeballing about 3” so far. 
 

 

Sums it up. Enjoy the little things in a storm that bring enjoyment.

I was very lucky to get hit earlier. It was such a narrow band from me to Dendrite. 

Yup, And its not happening here, I knew yesterday when this whole system was ticking east, I may get to my low end of 3".

A SWFE is just a wall of steady snow falling straight down in these parts. Usually followed by an hour or two of light freezing drizzle.  None of this nonsense with winds aloft, creating micro flakes.  

Its true.  Just a wave of moisture (and temps) moving in on SW flow… the S/SE/E/NW/N/NW turn around the wind dial does lead to a wave coming in and a wave going out in those events.

[dryslot]

This thing is hauling ass too.

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Again, no complaints here, my goal was breaking 4”  and should end with 4.5” or so.

Great job with the storm. You got the dub.  2-4” will do it for most around us, probably 4”+ in that 700mb band that clipped Litchfield and then 4”+ band somewhere in NE CT

Win some lose some but we need a bonified biggie soon. This is getting nauseating…

One last nice burst of moderate here right now.

My wife is about to strangle me I’ve opened  the door and gone outside so many times tonight.  

[AstronomyEnjoyer]

19.6°, -SN. 4.8", just cleared the board. Might have a shot at warning criteria, but it's been fairly light for the past hour or so.

As much frustration as there is, it does tickle my fancy to see 1" per hour snowfall for the 1st time in 3 years.  

 

2.25”  

8.5” Winter   

[CoastalWx]

Full on winter outside.

you have no idea I drive her nuts    but then again she can drive me nuts with some of the things she does  

[weathafella]

A few more hours.  Heading out in it to walk and will measure before I come back in probably by midnight.

Ha, That's how it all works.

[weatherwiz]

Kind of difficult to get a good reading with the wind but seems about or around 4”. Will wait for final regional snow totals but going to be a good ole D on the forecast 

[Mr. Windcredible!]

Just shy of 1.5” here. My drought of 4”+ snowfalls lives on, but no real surprise there. 1/29 will be 3 years since my last snowfall of 4” or more.
