Flurries starting up

Some flakes have begun to fall here as precipitation saturates the dry layer and reaches the ground. A lot of sleet reports coming in across PA, S NY, and S CT. However, should see several hours of snow before that happens, and 3-5 still appears on track through late tomorrow morning.

Point of interest: 00z models - the NAM has SNH in the .5" to .75" zone for QPF while the GFS has us in the 1.25" to 1.5" zone. Talk about last minute disagreement! Still, leaning toward 1+" amounts at this time. Significant icing is becoming increasingly likely for portions of interior SNE. This area may extend up into SNH, and Keene is not out of the woods yet for .5" amounts of ice accretion.
