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

@The 4 Seasons use the COCORAHS report from East Hartford. I gave my measurement no effort and the guy is about a mile from me.

3.7" on the western side of Southbury @The 4 Seasons....Just nice to see some snow on the ground. I will complain about the bare ground already on the south facing slopes of the yard.

4.25” on the east side at 500’.

I gave 3-5 for my hood with emphasis on 3-4 so I was on the lower side. 
 

I actually flipped a little sooner than I thought. Looking at the models it looked like I would change to snow after 9p, but they were kind of hesitant in bringing down the cold air at that time. I knew precip would be starting to go to town, but I was a little worried about the boundary layer finally getting cold enough. However, right around 8:20 or so the front came through and it turned to snow, started sticking instantly, and the temp dropped to freezing pretty quickly. So I’m not sure why models were so slow and bringing down that cool air. I also did not expect to have good snows almost to midnight. And then that extra inch after that at like 3a.

To dream... I'll be only a 30-minute ride N. to seeing winter precipitation. Could be in another universe.
SO FRIGGIN CLOSE.    

I would make that drive if I were you. Probably won’t see that kind of precipitation again in our lifetimes

As underwhelming as this was...and not by much, just under 4" on a 4-8FX expectation. It's still a welcome and pleasant surprise given the pretty intense cold thats coming to keep all the snow around coupled with the fact this looked like a nothing burger-whiff 4 or 5 days ago.

If anyone has an final totals for the event anywhere let me know. ill be doing maps for the tri-state area, CT and SNE, thanks.

 

3" in Dayville...9" for the season.
