This setup is pretty cool. We haven’t really had a storm like this when you combine the type of storm with the magnitude of the airmass. It’s like a Jan ‘05 airmass but a massive juiced SWFE type storm that in a normal winter airmass might front end us and then give a whole mess of IP/ZR/RA well into CNE. But this is not a normal airmass.

Wow juicy. Has all of us in Central and E MA over 1.5” of QPF.

Canadians at it again.

Yes it did.

Your area very well might jack or at least near-jack.

CAD wouldn’t really impact sleet vs snow. CAD will be lower level. It’s prob weird shaped because it’s marginal…the warm layer above 0C is prob very very thin so slightly different rates/dynamics might cause it to flip between snow and sleet at that point.

https://www.meteo.psu.edu/ewall/NARR/1981/us1206.php Feb ‘99 was similar too https://www.meteo.psu.edu/ewall/NARR/1999/us0225.php -
Jan ‘05 def did. Jan ‘11 for sure. Jan ‘17. Those were coastals though. This is basically a massive SWFE. We do get some coastal characteristics below about 800-850mb, but can’t really recall a similar system. Maybe Feb 5, 2014…that was a really juiced SWFE. Airmass wasn’t like this though. This airmass being so cold is what makes this one a different beast.
