Snowfall Total Update

What a winter storm...wow!  The mesoscale features and processes involved with them storm have been incredible and when dealing with winter storms and snowfall forecasts it is these features which can absolutely kill snowfall forecasts b/c our computer models just aren't fine enough to pick up on these features in their entirety.  Anyways, we have seen some VERY impressive banding set up from central NJ up through the NYC area and into SW CT along with another band (although a bit less impressive) across SE CT into RI.  The banding from NJ to SW CT just does not want to move and models continue to indicate this band will sit over these areas for at least several more hours before rotating through the rest of the state.  once it begins to rotate through the rest of the state the band will begin to run into some much drier air advecting in from the north resulting in weakening of the band and keeping the more impressive snowfall totals across the SW part of the state.   It should also be noted isolated power outages are possible as well as winds continue to gust.  Here is updated snowfall map.
