This is turning into a repeat of Wednesday/Thursday for CT

Let's just wait till it starts before we start making final calls of what is going to be or how it's going to turn out. The general theme of what's going to happen is we're going to get snow, probably 2 to 4 in before it changes over to sleet, then to ice and rain. Coastline will definitely be rain, and that line may come all the way up to the middle part of the state. State it's more the hills that will definitely stay freezing rain and maybe as you get into sections of Hartford county Tolland and Windham county as well. It was always going to be a slopstorm in Connecticut

jesus    Looking at the NAM cinema you can clearly tell this is coming down to the speed of the troposphere hugely outpacing the frictional drag/cold damming in that fight.  By the time the cold would ever work out our area, this things wrapped up already in the Maritimes it's moving so fast.

Probably not easy to visualize but relative to just these NAM runs, if the total troposphere were slower, we probably would have just had an easier Lakes cutter with less desire to start a thread - ha

That bad? I mean I barely had 1” with that. This has way more juice on front end, comparing the two. This looks like 2-4” and I’m leaning more like 3” with sleet/ice on top.

That's probably going be about what this does.   Amts of whatever and who gets what, notwithstanding...

 

After yesterday, the snow banks in Greenfield are already granite.  Throw down another 4-6" of frozen cement and by Monday street parking will be non-existent downtown.

I could walk on top of the snow at home this morning. It is a brick right now, about 6 inches OTG in Westfield. Not going anywhere easily

Thump turning later and lighter especially for SW half of state, and mid level warming still on track for 9-11pm.. Further NE you go the better which is typical , just more so in this case

and the cold leading up to whatever Thursday brings is going to really solidify it nicely

SOP may spike up above freezing Sun night when the CAA picks up. But yeah, MA GC may hold onto it and it may be cold enough Monday that the ice hangs on despite insolation. 

I remember the Feb 28, 1995 ice storm stayed on the trees for like 4 days afterward and that was the first few days of March. It did stay below freezing though but there was some sun too…luckily not much wind behind that one.

I think the icing will be significantly less in this one versus 1995 though…this is going to be a lot of snow/sleet and then prob intermittent showery ZR and if the mesolow isn’t well-defined (ala NAM solutions), it will just morph into an in-situ icing event where it creeps to 32.1F after maybe a quarter inch of ice (if that).

Stret, drive, and porch at Pit2 are a frozen disaster.

My buddy didn't plow his route in Simsbury yesterday because he's always worried about people bitching it wasn't enough to plow... now they're bitching because they have frozen slush glaciers in the driveways. I told him he should have done the route...

Even where I was the ice stayed on for a few days. That was a fun event.

Just saw the A1 had the transfer just south of LI and earlier . Kept most places below freezing with more snow/ice Probably not correct but interesting to note 

Yes the 06z skynet was really cold. You’d never crack freezing if it verified. Not sure I buy a solution that cold but we’ll see what the real models do in a bit.

I hope you get the ice you want but this seems likely to be a longer period of snow and sleet and then light freezing drizzle.  At least up this way.
