It's not on an island. Most of the 12z suite ticked colder throughout the column.

Could be WxBell just being funky, but it tries to accumulate some snow after the flip to sleet while also accumulating sleet on the separate sleet panels. True wintry mix? Can it try and split 50/50 what falls? No idea.

What model is this?

I think @EastonSN+ is asking for someone to post it. Generally, a little less QPF for all locations... I wouldn't overanalyze it though. It's about time to focus on regional/meso-scale models.

Verbatim that would've flipped us back to some snow at the end, no?

Bryce Nogueira?

3Z Monday is 10 pm Sunday [5 hours ahead], so that would be between 9 & 10 pm on Sunday.

The HRRR is noticably south of the 12z NAM in terms of mix line from KY to the mid-Atl. It looks about as good as I figured it could at the end of its run.

That's probably rimed snow/sleet mix

No idea just surprised nobody posted.

Lord help us all for looking at the HRRR at range, but it is a good 0.70" QPF before the flip in DC. Nice run.

One of the reasons this is being detected early is probably because the primary shortwave is already an entity over the Pacific east of Japan.

And likely 6-12 hours of something frozen falling after the end of the run heh

HR 48 WB 18Z HRRR, great start!

18z HRRR is a great run from I-70 north.

Love the HRRR run. Probably out of its range, but see its trying to start a coastal.

Long range HRRR looks great for 18z Sunday .

Yes I know its the 18z HRRR at the end of its run, but note 700-800mb. Doesn't go positive aka above 0c. This is the sounding at DCA. Yes, its probably rimed snow... but i don't think this shows a pure sleet profile

Of course the HRRR looks like it has some weird low that goes from the Apps to the midstate.

AmWx WAS EasternWx until 2010 when they re-did the site. I remember the years of the routine of "changing the snow tires" in spring and fall (on 2 different station wagons over the years in the '60s - late-'70s) and keeping a set of chains in the back of the station wagon. Except for the '66 storm, none of that was really needed. The snow drought literally "broke" the year my mom bought a brand new Mercury Zephyr after getting rid of the old station wagon and then a few months later, having some cop car doing a chase on the snowy street, and T-boneing it while it was parked in front of the house. Thank goodness for "all-weather tires" (at least around these parts - the snow zones in the northern U.S. still have those snow tires as I understand).

18z HRRR at the end of its run at 1pm on Sunday, with roughly 7-9" on the ground.

CoastalJr hacked their site

Probably noon-ish. Might get going quickly

Looks great. Snowing nicely at 18z and the mix line still several hours away

I'm not sure if frequency of Nor' Easters are exactly a solid metric of climatology. There's so many confounding variables such as ENSO, oscillations factors, not to mention storm subtype classifications that would have to be controlled for to make sense of the data. The occurrence of a snowstorm in CHESCO is too rare and random an event to really make any sort of statistical analysis out of. The one study that once got my attention on a similar matter used a statistical method called bootstrapping (to show an eastward shift in Tornado Alley). This got around the meta-factors and stochastic principle. Its also worth noting that its a much larger area with many more data points than IMBY MECSes.
