My guess since the forecasts not showing the cold say sunny and below normal temps that cold high pressure is suppressing the system south and/or out to sea?

I'm guessing it's not going to happen. Purely observational, based on Cam's relative quiet the last few days!

I had on the NBC CT news this morning and they were saying that storm is down to a 30% chance of happening.

I'm keeping my eyes out for any sign of the severe drought situation being over.

I'm still hearing rumblings of 1-2 feet on Friday into Saturday? Unless people are just messing with me ��

What I'm hearing is it all depends on how much the coming cold high pressure (below normal temps late this week) pushes the snow south. Most weather reports are showing just a little snow on Friday or none at all and (as Cam said) possible record snow in North Carolina.

Not for us but we'll see if it comes up the coast or not.. Probably not due to the strength of the Polar Jet and Cold High coming in.


North Carolina might have more snow than CT after this storm.

Even if we miss everything here in CT, hey, at least we'll be on the cold side.

I think there are some positive signs for a light snow on Friday day.

Sunday looks more interesting.

It's still possible but need things to shift "west" with the Southern Jet Stream and Polar Jet Stream merging together

In what has been a nearly zonal flow across the northern half of
the country the last several weeks, featuring above normal
temperatures and mainly light precipitation events, will undergo
some changes this week. The northern branch of the polar jet will
take a southward dip into the northeast quarter on the nation. In
addition, some of the shorter term climate signals, such as the NAO
and AO, which are less predictable, could also favor a colder,
stormier pattern.

At the onset of the period, deepening low pressure lifts
northward across the Canadian Maritimes, while high pressure builds
east off the Mid Atlantic coast. There will then be multiple
interactions with the southern and northern branches of the polar
jet, as a series of lows moves off the southeast coast Friday into
Saturday. Some subtle differences with the northern extent of the
lows and the amount of phasing between the branches bears watching
as these system look to have enough cold air for snow. Right now
though, both systems are forecast far enough offshore to keep the
area on the fringe with only low chances.

Polar high pressure follows for Sunday into Monday.
