grinch1989 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 From traffic reports online, tweets, first-hand info, everything - do not get on a highway in SW CT. Ugly, horrible, times. That LI band is looking tasty still. Took my dad 1 hour to go from stratford to shelton, no lie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScituateWX Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 32 here now a few pesky flakes, not really sure what is going to come out of this around these parts, maybe a few inches tmrw night seems like a good bet? On a side note a town truck just went by and was pre treating the road ways with some sort of spray, guessing a deicer of some sort. Had to have a short chuckle to myself just kinda thought it was a funny sight, what ever happened to the old days of a salt truck driving by chucking out salt and sand chunks the size of softballs.

met_fan Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 torrington is getting screwed right now ...hopefully that isn't you in 4-6 hours. seriously interested to see if moderate snow backs north into torrington . hartford is getting some near mod snow backing Nof 84 but i didn't think this was even supposed to be an issue. nice snow falling W of 91 esp n of the pike in w ma. I've seen a handful of flakes here so far just west of 91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kbosch Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Took my dad 1 hour to go from stratford to shelton, no lie I totally believe it. Roads can be plowed/sanded to pavement only to be covered within a minute. I hear it's a mess everywhere. Basically do not go out in Fairfield county. Even if you must be somewhere you will not be there anywhere close to on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowwoman Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 RTE 111 is almost at a stand still RTE 25, 15 are a mess....I have to go from Trumbull/Monroe to Derby, not looking forward to it backroads will be moving quicker.

Clinch Leatherwood Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I have 6hrly mean QPF, but can't see under 0.10" contours. 36-42: 0.10" line is barely inland along the entire S coast of SNE right through the Cape 42-48: 0.10" line cuts through the Cape around FMH I just saw this, thanks. -- Bouchard 5-8 for Providence, Sharon, western Plymouth, Wareham down south of Kev. I'm not sure if he's including both but I assume so. I think he was alluding to that not including the saturday night deal.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginx snewx Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Thanks Steve. Looks like a long night I think95 north would be your best bet, it is rush hour in SW CT, chill for an hour or so in Bridgeportrest area, let it calm down, even with heavy falling after rush hour things should ease off. Stay safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiator Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 We picked up 1" in the past hour and a half. Right now it's 31.6 F, snow accumulation for this storm so far is 4.75". Winds are calm. Still snowing heavily. My elevation is approximately 500 feet. Monitoring local police frequency - lots of motorists having trouble getting up the hills in town.

ChrisM Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 this is really 'ed up. what's going on here? Why are these things just not progressing?

Cold Miser Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Windham County, CT. -a.k.a The new snow hole of CT. It seems lately that snow stroms hit the county line, and stop, and go around us. Not enough clouds out there to even fully block the sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Kevin, I know you doubted me saying that but I took a screenshot of the radar returns an hour ago and now looking at them again the northern extent of the heavy precip is basically in the EXACT same spot RUC in general has been decent with progression. In 6-8 hours the bands will be slicing through about hartford. After midnight they'll finally make it all the way into eastern CT/western RI. But you've got to realize the best forcing is occuring now. Notice the little spin rotating through about western CT now? Once that slides away....
