Seems stronger echoes are sliding south over Long Island.. might see some foot totals down there. I think farther north you go less snow. Still need to see the bands come in off the ocean to get the inch or two an hour rates..

If southern Florida was expecting a foot of snow they wouldn't be freaking out as much as the people on this Connecticut board. The rest of New England must be laughing at us...

0743 PM CST THU JAN 02 2014

AREAS AFFECTED...NRN NJ/SERN NY INCLUDING LONG ISLAND/CT/RI/SERN
MA/DOWN EAST ME

CONCERNING...HEAVY SNOW

VALID 030143Z - 030645Z

SUMMARY...A PROLONGED PERIOD OF MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOWFALL IS
FORECAST THROUGH THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT FROM PARTS OF NRN NJ
ENEWD ACROSS SRN/ERN NEW ENGLAND. ADDITIONALLY...BLIZZARD
CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP OVERNIGHT AS WINDS INCREASE WITH TIME.

DISCUSSION...SNOWFALL RATES OF UP TO -- AND IN LOCAL AREAS EXCEEDING
-- AN INCH PER HOUR ARE FORECAST OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS ACROSS
THE SRN NEW ENGLAND VICINITY...AS A LARGE UPPER TROUGH CROSSES THE
ERN THIRD OF THE U.S. OVERNIGHT. AS THE TROUGH ADVANCES EWD...A
SURFACE LOW -- NOW OFF THE COAST OF SERN VA/NERN NC -- IS PROGGED TO
UNDERGO RELATIVELY RAPID CYCLOGENESIS AS IT SHIFTS SLOWLY ENEWD OVER
THE NEXT 6-12 HOURS.

ATTM...THE BAND OF HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION EXTENDS FROM ERN VA --
WHERE A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW IS OBSERVED -- NEWD ACROSS NJ AND LONG
ISLAND AND INTO SRN CT/RI/SERN MA...WITH MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY
SNOWFALL INDICATED ACROSS THESE AREAS.

LATEST SREF GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THAT THE HEAVIEST BAND OF SNOWFALL
WILL DEVELOP AFTER MIDNIGHT -- FROM THE HUDSON VALLEY EWD ACROSS NRN
CT/MA/SRN VT/SRN NH/SRN ME...INLAND/WELL N OF THE ONGOING HEAVIER
PRECIPITATION. HOWEVER...HIGH-RES MODELS -- INCLUDING THE
NMM4...THE HRRR...AND A LOCAL NSSL 4KM WRF -- DEPICT THE HEAVIEST
ONSHORE PRECIPITATION TO REMAIN CONFINED TO THE SERN NEW ENGLAND
VICINITY. THIS IS MUCH MORE IN LINE WITH CURRENT RADAR TRENDS...AND
GIVEN THE SURFACE LOW PROGGED TO TRACK ENEWD AWAY FROM THE COAST
WITH TIME...THE SERN NEW ENGLAND VICINITY REMAINS THE AREA OF
HIGHEST CONFIDENCE FOR SUSTAINED/HEAVY ONSHORE SNOWFALL OVER THE
NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. IN ADDITION...AS WINDS INCREASE ACROSS THIS
AREA IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DEEPENING OFFSHORE LOW...BLIZZARD
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED IN SOME AREAS ALONG WITH ASSOCIATED REDUCED
VISIBILITY/BLOWING SNOW.

Here's what South Street in Danbury looks like... what the hell haha?!?! I really hope the person is okay.... The accident happened just before 6PM and about 1000 people lost power but CL&P restored power to most as of 9PM.

I hope whoever was in that car is okay. If they are, they got very lucky.

As far as the storm goes, they initially said it dies down about 8 am here. Has that changed since then? Will it last later into the morning?

[Cambium]

With temps and radar on and the area of heavy snow. I don't remember a storm when we had teens and heavy snow let alone single digits and snow.

[Poseidon3290]

temp dropped to 16.2 - that was fast.

[pulpfiction]

Any chance that the roads will be okay by Saturday morning?
