Big opening on the radar central CT through central MA. Wierd. Could cut down on totals big time. Wonder what's up. High pressure stronger than first thought? Not as much moisture available from the south?

Give it time....the secondary low is starting to get spun up so the northern edge of the snow shield, or "deformation zone" will be gradually filling back in for the PM. It's not exactly a "dry slot" or anything...just the gradual transition as the coastal low gets spooled up.

It's picking up here a little bit. windier too. Any accumulation we had this morning has since melted though. Let's get on with this thing already!

The lack of snow here is putting a major crimp on my Sundown powder skiing plans for tonight.

Be sure to say hi if you see the AZ crew. Black helmet, black soft shell (or black/grey jacket), green digital snake camo pants... :lol:

thanks Glenn.

I get very little work done when it's snowing :cool:

No problem!

I'm sitting here laughing. We have a dusting on the grass...the blacktop is wet and the Govenor of CT just let non esential state workers go home early. I also heard some large insurance companies in Hartford were closed for the day. This storm is not delivering for my current location.

Sounds good. I'll be the 6'6 dude with the silver/black jacket, black pants, silver helmet. I'll probably do most of my runs on Gunny since I'm epic suck on the moguls.

Yeah, my company (a large Hartford based insurance company) is shutting down all the offices at 1. Of course I have been home all day teleworking anyway so this has no effect on me.

Getting steadier now in West Hartford...

33 degrees and the sun is trying to peak out. This is a disaster.

Kids go home on early release, spouse has to leave work by 2:00 (and take a few hours PTO or make up the time). All for a bunch of flurries...:roll:

Guys, be patient. This is and has always been advertised as a PM/eve storm...the thing is just barely getting spun up. Don't be too quick to call "bust" before the darned thing even gets started! Just look at radar.

Anyone know what it's like around Worcester? I was planning on heading to Wawa for some night skiing, but now it seems like it might not be worth it...

Picking up here and starting to stick. Special weather statement about a band coming up from RI dropping 1-2 inches and hour.

They were always on the north end of this thing. They might get a couple inches, but if you are hoping for a powder day that's not likely to happen.
