Looks like we'll get it in the 2 pm hour based on radar. Atlantic moisture or not, I'm calling 3" max.
BUST!

I guess technically they'll be right here too. Forecast is 3-7". I'm betting it will be the lower end of the range.

"official" state of CT info -
BANDS OF MODERATE SNOW MOVING SLOWLY INTO WESTERN CT…
SECOND ROUND OF MODERATE SNOW POSSIBLE SATURDAY NIGHT…
At 11:45 AM radar showed bands of moderate snow moving very slowly into Southwestern CT and another band of light snow in Eastern CT. Winter Weather Advisories remain in effect for the entire state as a rare type of winter storm is now taking shape over Southern New England. The latest computer models are only in fair agreement concerning the location and timing of the storm and towns should monitor their local media outlets for changes in the forecast during the afternoon. Also, both models are now showing that the Norlun Trough may remain in place on Saturday and allow a second round of moderate snow to occur over Southern New England Saturday night.
Detailed Forecast for This Afternoon and Tonight…
This Afternoon: The bands of moderate snow now entering Western CT are forecast to move very slowly to the East during the afternoon, reaching the Hartford area by 4:00 PM. Additional bands of snow may develop in Central and Eastern CT during the next few hours as the trough of low pressure takes shape over our area. In general the snow occurring this afternoon should be light to moderate, however potentially heavy snow squalls are likely to occur at times especially near the coast. These nearly stationary “snow squalls” may produce snowfall rates briefly reaching 2 inches per hour this afternoon. Isolated pockets of major impact are possible in the heaviest snow bands in Western CT or Coastal CT which may only be 10 miles wide.
This Evening and Overnight: The snow squalls are expected to continue for several hours and then taper off from Southwest to Northeast from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM on Saturday morning. A general accumulation of 3 – 6 inches of snow is still forecast for the entire state with bands of higher snowfall amounts up to 8 inches or more possible in a few towns.
Towns are advised that this is not a typical winter storm and actual conditions (e.g. the locations of heavy snow bands if they occur cannot be predicted in advance) during the storm are likely to change.
Saturday and Saturday Night: The latest computer models are indicating that another period of moderate to briefly heavy snow may occur Saturday evening into early Sunday morning. Several additional inches of snow may fall during this period and updates will be provided with the next forecast.
The Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security will continue to closely monitor this unique storm and will issue another update at 4:00 PM this afternoon.

It looks like I got just shy of 2" at home but at Hidden Valley where my son and I skied for about 4 hrs I'd say they got about 3"+. It stayed cold so there were nice piles of pow all over the trails and a good amount of untracked on the edges when I first got there. My son and I managed to track it up quite a bit.
