...yesterday we got a notice from our 3-man highway department. The town has 2 sanding trucks. One broke down yesterday so the notice said to expect major delays in road treatment. Our plow is fine but you know my location. Only one steep way up and down. Wish me luck. I hope we can get above freezing for a few hours before the wind and cold come roaring back. Looks like we will have a glacier type landscape for awhile. Speare hospital, get ready. Lots of incoming slips and slides this week.

You don't! Still nightmares from 1998!

Thank you, Brian, for your optimism. I hope you are right! 28.7/13

I just noticed that the NWS upgraded my area to a Winter Storm Warning. I know Dendy was not overly impressed yesterday and Tip for several reasons was not impressed earlier. It is currently 34/14F. Any changes in thoughts or basically just some slippery roads and some glazing but not enough for power concerns etc.

I just saw this right after I made my post. Would all these negative factors apply for us up here too?

Tip, yesterday, Dandy was also not very impressed for even up here. What am I missing? 1.25" of liquid, temperatures in the mid to upper 20s rising to around 32F tomorrow afternoon. Longer precipitation time up here too. Weather bell clown ice maps show .75 to 1.00" of ice. Even if that is 50% overdone, this seems like a big deal up here????

We got slammed in 1998 and I think in 2008. Lake level down below is 590 feet. I'm at 1100 but only a dirt road one way up here in winter. Our town only has 1000 people and the highway dept just sent out a notice that our sander broke but the plow truck is fine. That won't help me.

I just posted about this. I have to look up to see what the parameters are for an Ice Storm Warning to be issued for parts of New England

I'm starting to get worried about quite an ice storm in parts of New England tomorrow night and Monday. I have not looked at other models but QPF seems to increase up here each run with over 1" liquid. Almost all freezing rain. I'm not sure how accurate these Weather bell clown maps are for ZR but .50 to 1.00 of ice would cause quite a bit of damage and CAD always rules. Even a brief few hours of above freezing would not melt all that ice before high winds and cold returns. Snowstorms get all the attention, but ice storms are brutal, especially for me on top of a hill with only one way out.

I'm starting to pay attention to Monday's storm. Looks like a potentially pretty big freezing event for us here in Central New England. If these amounts held would that require an Ice Storm Warning? I know freezing rain accretion has changed. What kind of damage would this generate if it were to hold true?

Brian, you got more snow than me. 5.25" final. (around 17" season) I thought I would have had a bit more being slightly closer to the Norlan? Merry Christmas to all.

48.6F temperature is now dropping. Heavy rain mixed with small hail. Winds gusting to 43mph

The same up here in my area of Central NH. Powerful gusts in the 40s a bit earlier. Now a lull before the CF. Loosing our snowcover rapidly! 51.4F

23.6F Light to moderate snow. Vis about 1/2 miles. Snow growth was poor most of the morning but intensity and snow growth has increased significantly the past 30 minutes. About 1.25" fluff

Brian, I was paying more attention to the snow squalls vs how cold this air mass is. It seems like last night's cold over preformed. Was that true? 0F here but snowcover must helped.
