This system reminds me of Jan 14-15, 2004. Low track diving SE and snowfall gradient are similar. That's the only storm that comes to mind with this event that i can think of. https://www.jdjweatherconsulting.com/jan-14-15-2004

Let’s get some oranges into that

This band is stationary

You have your snowpack set for the winter.

Wow! 20+

We are at 15” and it’s still puking snow IMAGES

And Sunday is rain for you I think. That sucks! But later next week or early the next…

Gefs bumped north with the qpf

Man that’s fun! A early morning walk and video?

Lights keep flickering.......branches must be hanging on wires somewhere.

2.75 total hopefully we don't melt all of it out today

Looks like the inv trough may clip ern pym county with 1-2 or so. One day things will actually break right.

This thing is going to be WoR deal. Particularly SW CT. I don’t expect much if at all east of the river. Especially east of PVD to ORH. Sigh.

I think you'll find nearly every met in the SNE forums will tell you don't use it. There's a lot more to snow growth and high ratios then just temperatures. You can easily get 8-10:1 arctic sand with needles and plates with temps in the 10s and conversely you can get 15-30:1 fluff with sfc temps near freezing. Kuchera is always gonna be inflated really high like this when the column is very cold. You can use it if you want, im just saying there's a lot more to look at than pretty kuchera snowfall maps.

Last of my posts: HRRR keeps this going for another 2-3 hours. Early contender for the storm of the season for here. My P/C is calling for a new daytime 3-5. thought i heard a tree snap from across the river esrlier. Just now, we briefly lost ss a transformer blew. Power’s back, internet is gone though.

WB 6Z GFS and NBM

Everyone has their opinion on the kuchera. Mixed reactions because this will be a high ratio snow. I was told to use it with high ratios. I never did at all though.

And so it is as GYX writes below. It is just dumping. My favorite part of this where it says "nearly stationary". 443 AM EST Wed Dec 24 2025 ...An area of heavy snow will affect Kennebec...west central Knox... northern York...Oxford...west central Waldo...Androscoggin...south central Somerset...Lincoln...Cumberland...Sagadahoc and southern Franklin Counties... At 437 AM EST...An area of heavy snow was impacting much of western and coastal Maine and nearly stationary. Locations impacted include... Belgrade, Scarborough, Jay, New Gloucester, Wales, Whitefield, Bath, Fayette, Livermore Falls, Rangeley, Mount Abram, Smithfield, Frye Island, Winslow, Lewiston, Boothbay, Bowdoin, Georgetown, Albany, and Standish. This includes the following highways... Interstate 295 between mile markers 1 and 51. Interstate 95 between mile markers 39 and 136. This also includes... Sebago Lake, Pleasant Mountain, Burnt Meadow Mountains, Saddleback Mountain, and Mount Abraham. Peaks Island, Long Island, Cushing Island, Cousins Island, and Bailey Island. * Visibilities will drop quickly to less than a half mile in this area of heavy snow. * Snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour are occurring in this area of heavy snow.

At least as far as mby goes, this looks like it could be spot on

At the same time, Juneau hits -10, equalling coldest temp since the 1970s. And: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/yukon-energy-blackouts-extreme-cold-9.7026976 These things aren't one way.

I'm 8 miles east of Brunswick in the middle of the GYX radar hole, ftw. By the way--I think until perhaps just now, that has been heavy, wet snow. Temp was hovering right around freezing through the duration until about an hour ago. Cooler air filtering in now.

Because it shows the most snow... The kuchera maps are ridiculous for the storm like nearly 1.5X or double 10:1 because its so frigid, esp N and W. When it's cold Kuchera will show a lot of snow. Doesn't take into account lift in the DGZ, frontogenesis or anything...strictly based on temps. I agree with the NWS and a lot of mets on here. I don't use it, it's useless imo.

Just got up. Eyeballing about 8" with SN++ at the moment. Double digits look doable, maybe even a foot based on what last night's models were showing for the morning hours. First, coffee.

0.66666:1 SWE. Epic. I'm working on a Tri-State Snowfall map now, should be done by mid-afternoon once i get cocorahs and coop. I went through the past 5 pages and got everybody on here. Thanks!
