Expand At least around here, I don’t think so. The heaviest stuff will probably be brief, but they have precipitation in the form of freezing drizzle going into the evening.

But pretty rare to see it so cold just before snow breaks out. Expand Idk…feel like we used to get one of these each winter with temps near 0F as precip breaks out. We’ve had some good SWFEs over the past couple of decades that were pounding S+ with negatives at 2m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't matter the size of the storm, it seemed West Hartford got the roads clear down to bare cement...meanwhile, you went to Hartford...DISASTER. I always got a kick out of right along the town line...West Hartford side, spotless, Hartford side...disaster. Expand Exactly!

It’s gonna be very deep winter here by Monday morning, and we’ll probably keep adding to it even if we get fringed. At some point, they’ll probably be another couple moderate or large storms by March. Been a while since we’ve had this kind of winter, at least the second half. I’m home all the time now with the babies and mostly just focused on the babies and eating and the gym so I’m really able to enjoy the winter unfolding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand not sure if it was that year or the next, but I remember out there blowing and it being between 5-10F, chain link broke on the blower shoot linkage and as I tried to stretch it to reconnect, slipped and nearly knocked myself out on the snow bank, that smarts when it's that cold...goods about to start pounding here it seems on radar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sey-Mour Snow Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 .5” big flakes and heavy snow moving in , hoping to hit 1.5” before changeover is complete / snow winning out currently 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbenedet Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Get to see by radar just how shallow the cold is which is pretty cool. Not an isentropic lift setup; holes in the precip. If you went more aggressive with snowfall amounts, probably a good time to shave some off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSC97wxnut Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Bah. It was supposed to be a 1/2 day today in Newton and since the kids would be going home during the "height" of the storm, they've cancelled school. I mean, the radar looks ok, but thing seems to be hauling right along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always reserved about the somewhat showery look of the radar and warm air coming in fast. 1-3 should be good for much of the state. roads are all covered.23F here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
