Winter Storm Watches are out already for most of upstate New York. The storm will bring rain changing to snow for most of NE, but it looks like an all snow event for the Adirodacks, Appalachians, and Catskills.

After the storm, a cold day is expected Wednesday before the Thanksgiving storm which has had a thread now for what, 8 days?

The beauty is that Tuesday's coastal will come in warm and lay down a nice wet & heavy base and then the Turkey Day clipper blows in cold (like clippers do)with some nice dry-smoke! This is a good thing. A very, very good thing!

I just saw the radar loop and it looks like a lot of blue wrapping around into VT.

Looks encouraging...any reports?

I have already had some ice form on my walkway tonight. Be careful out there tonight with the "black ice" if you are driving.

The reports I heard from areas further north and west in CT were a couple of inches. I saw a car or two with a good inch on them driving through Torrington! :eek:

They kept downgrading our snow throughout the day yesterday and there was probably only an inch on the Valley floor. However, I drove up to MRG yesterday afternoon when I had to go in for some pre-Thanksgiving shopping, and it was coming down hard.

Right now it feels like January. Flurries are falling in that lazy, swirling way that sometimes means its still a light snow on the mountain. I wouldn't be surprised if they picked up a couple more inches of dry stuff.

I don't know if the storms, showers, flurries, squalls, etc., this week will amount to much, but 7+ days of sub-freezing temperatures means there will be nothing to hold back the snow guns. One way or another it's looking a hell of a lot better than last year at this time.
