    Yep. Very unlikely that these short range models are going to be wrong about the mid level warming. It will probably look a little worse than what they're showing tonight as it gets closer. At least we know we'll get a front end dump before the sleet. Even if it's just 5 or 6 inches of snow and then a couple inches of sleet for our area, that's still a very nice winter storm that I'd be happy about.

    What I don't like is when the ice is underneath the snow, like we had with a couple of the events this season. The wet snow melts at first so you end up having ice underneath the snow that you have to scrape hard to get up. Sleet on top of a powdery snow like we'll have this time won't be too bad to get up.

    I'm at 18.5" here in Piscataway. Already a very good winter, so I'll be very happy even if this gets cut down to a 6 to 10 inch storm due to mixing. Would've loved all snow with a potential of a foot and a half like the models were showing a couple days ago, but I'm happy that we're looking at our best front end dump type of storm in quite awhile. This storm alone should get us close normal snowfall for an entire winter, and as you said we still have what is usually our best snow month (February) ahead of us.

    People here have pointed out that CMC has better verification scores than GFS. To me it has seemed to do a better job than GFS the last several years.

    We saw how much mixing the CMC showed on the 12z run and Euro brought in mixing early Sunday afternoon, so this ICON run isn't something new. We're trending in that direction. Hopefully our major snowstorm won't fall apart. We will get a front end dump due to the arctic air in place, but it wouldn't be a shock if it's just a mediocre 2 to 4 or 3 to 5 dump before mixing like we've seen many times in the past. Of course the big amounts are very possible too -- a long way to go with this.

    The Euro brings in mixing issues early Sunday afternoon now. We might not know until we get into NAM range since that model is so good at sniffing out mixing problems.
  7. winterwx21
    Of course, which is why I said we have a long way to go.

    Euro is getting the mixing close to us by 18z Sunday. Mixing is becoming more and more of a concern, but we have a long way to go and at worst we'll get a decent front end dump before mixing.

    It sure is nice seeing you act like us for a change instead of all the trolling with claims that you root against winter. It's obvious that you really love winter lol.

    Yep it does get a little mixing in here towards the end when the precip is lighter, but the damage has already been done. Nice hit on the UKMET.
  11. winterwx21
    Yeah with the airmass in place we know we'll at least see a very significant front end dump. It is kind of funny though (as Stormlover mentioned) that we went from worries about it possibly being suppressed with the brutal arctic airmass in place to now having mixing issues, but it's not a big surprise for this area. We've seen that many times before. It still should be our biggest snowstorm in years even if the mixing comes in a little more quickly.

    Forky wanted us to believe that we could that we could never have a cold snowy winter again, but he was probably trolling with those comments. Before this winter he made a post saying he wanted everyone here to be miserable with one failed snow event after another, lol. But I know he really likes snow and is just trolling when he makes all these crazy comments. He's a good met and if he's on board for this event it's great news.

    CMC keeps the snow going all day Monday. Not heavy but a very long duration event.
  14. winterwx21
    After getting 6 inches of snow from the three rounds this weekend, I'm up to 18.5" for the winter. We're well on our way to our first above average snowfall winter in quite awhile.
  15. winterwx21
    HRRR was right on the money with the timing. Snow is picking up now. We should see about 2 inches between now and 9pm.
  16. winterwx21
    Nice that it filled in even earlier than this. Radar continues to blossom with echoes to our southwest. Turning out that there wasn't even much of a break between rounds.
  17. winterwx21
    First time in awhile that we can say that we're having REAL WINTER. Last winter we finally saw some colder weather with average to slightly below average temps for the winter, but we didn't get much snow. This winter we're getting the snow to go along with the cold. And man, does that long range look cold. The last week of January could be our coldest week in many years.
  18. winterwx21
    2 inches here from round one this morning. A nice two part event where we should get another 2 inches during the afternoon and evening. Maybe 3 if we're lucky to make it 5 inches for today. We got the 2 yesterday so this is turning out to be quite a weekend with a few different rounds of snow.
  19. winterwx21
    2 inches here! Back edge of the snow just about here. Beautiful scene with the trees coated with wet snow. This ended up being a nice little event and tomorrow should be even better.
  20. winterwx21
    After seeing the Euro I'm guessing we'll be put under a WWA for 2 to 4 inches tomorrow. This is turning out to be a beautiful snowy weekend!
  21. winterwx21
    Most of the accumulation has been on colder surfaces, but the street starting to get coated here now. Pretty good band of snow -- this is looking a little better than expected. Maybe we can pull off an inch and a half on colder surfaces.
  22. winterwx21
    Snowing moderately right now with the temp just a shade above freezing at 32.5. Probably just a half inch to an inch on colder surfaces here today, but I'm excited about tomorrow now.
  23. winterwx21
    What a pleasant surprise to wake up today to the models looking much better for tomorrow. It now looks as if we could see an advisory level event tomorrow -- probably a few inches.
  24. winterwx21
    The temp is falling during the afternoon here as expected. Down to 34 now. Wind feels very cold.
  25. winterwx21
    That would be historic. Euro is probably overdoing it since it's very long range, but the cold for the week of the 26th is probably going to be more impressive than what we're going to see next week. And Tuesday the 20th it might struggle to get above 20. Very cold times ahead the next couple weeks. We're having a real winter this year. Hopefully we'll start seeing snowstorms again in late January. The snowy December gives us a good chance to have an above average snowfall season.
