Some pretty nice banding starting to move eastward from CT. Hopefully we can pound for several hours coming up here.
-
How much you up to?
-
I haven’t given up on the 13th yet but I’d like to see a stronger trend soon. But there’s been some runs that had it a lot colder. Mean trough position is definitely more friendly by the 15th though…
-
Sucks the thump is crap on the coast. Wonder if it will try and flip to more snow with this stronger omega. But it sounds like good accumulations are going to be tough until CCB and temps come down some.
-
Getting absolutely pasted in this band. Temp was up to 33F but it’s ticked down about it a half degree to 32.5.

00z guidance so far tonight is going pretty bullish on the CCB tomorrow. I think that may be a factor with crashing temps too in the afternoon. Still some disagreement on temp crashing. Some models really delay it until it’s almost over but others are crashing it in the middle of the CCB which would be a bigger deal.

Could be a nice period of moderate to heavy snow over eastern areas looking at this loop. Filling in too south of HVN
-
Still not very hopeful for 1/10 south of about dendrite but maybe it trends just a bit more. 1/13 could still end up a lot better. But that storm could also but rains to Maine. High stakes.
-
Also we have that decent high to the north…something we couldn’t buy to save our lives last winter…so even though the wind is still off the water for the coast with the somewhat tucked low track, that high is helping to funnel in lower dewpoint air which acts to help keep it cooler just off the deck with evaporational cooling/wetbulbing.
-
It helps to look just off the deck. So often last year we had like 0C to -1C at 925mb. This is significantly colder so that modeled warm layer is very shallow right near the sfc…that’s often a good signal that you’ll accumulate a lot easier at 32-33 than if you’re already dealing with waterlogged melting aggregates.

Yeah the post count is going to look like a sine wave most likely if ensemble guidance is any indication. Very little during the snowstorm and then a big spike during the cutter (perhaps two if 1/13 cuts) then back down again as pattern really goes colder with potential snow threats. We’ll return for verification in a couple weeks.
