Been in a bit of a lull up at WXW2. Looks like the pack has taken quite a hit since I was last up there.

Gotta replace my shovel dammit. Just hoping ice stays away or doesn’t otherwise impact life. NAM was a crazy run!

Yeah we're hoping for all ice with plenty of accretion

Rgem is still on the warmer side, but heck of juicy run

Yeah, I've always thought it was a red herring. The Lake Erie at Buffalo average annual temperature is rising at pretty much the exact same rate as the air temperature at Buffalo. So unless UHI is pouring into Lake Erie, it would seem the temperature represents a real trend. Lake is slightly warmer because it doesn't drop below 32F in the winter due to ice.

I remember talking to Scott 4 or 5 days ago, this thing had a minimum/floor of moderate impact back then and it was kind of believable just synoptically because the feature’s playing into it were stable/predictable.

Let’s ice it up.

Gotcha thank you nrg Jeff .

Next winter is going to suck.

I mean this is a very classic ice storm look for SNE, south of pike.

Let’s get a March 24, 1993 mini blue bomb at Logan (over 8” of pure spackle on a weak but juicy system running into a Quebec high with marginal antecedent airmass)

Definitely starting to notice the slow uptick in temps.

0z NAM continues to strengthen the push of the BDCF. If it’s right, cold sector hangs on from Thursday evening thorough Saturday evening from NoVA north and east. Front looks like gets as far SW as Lynchburg.

Lol I’ve seen others post similar, but I wanted to make sure each direction was covered. I might have to add that my elevation is too low to escape a warm nose haha.

Isothermal sounding on this NAM over Logan. NE wind 30mph pushing S/S+ rates is nasty cake at 32

This looks like a signiicant icing event south of pike with potential all the way down to 95. Needless to say, glad I’m largely missing this one to the north…

For Boston... 00z 12k NAM coming in with 6-8" 00z 3k NAM says, what snow? 00z HRRR says 4-6" 18z GFS says 4-6" 18z EURO says 4-6"

Ha! So excited to see it all go over the next week. Was a good winter but glad it’s pretty much over!

I wouldn’t get too hung up on models generating convection, and then using that as QPF distribution Thing is that these general isenreopic event types are better handled by the coarser smoothed solutions. The meth models are going to spuriously trigger convection that is completely driven by chaos in the model and then that’s gonna turn around and fuck up all the works

For those thinking this weather is a bit early. Wait about 10 more days and things will definitely correct course.

3k not nearly as good as 12k. Handling of the convection upstream seems to be jumping around.

NAM arrives at the party

Let’s get play dough
