You guys up in NNE should get some good icing . You being up on a hilltop may help as the valleys lock in the cold.  I’m not that familiar with your topography and how these situations work there  , but around here with in situ CAD valleys get the longest icing . Dendy I’m sure can assist .

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.

WWA out for ice 

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.

1989 I think

It might have been 1989.  I had just bought my fixer-upper house up here but lived in Boston.  I had something called a Climate talker.  It was hooked up to my phone line and I could call long distance and get the outside temperature.  I believe it was below zero about 12 nights in that December.  When winters used to be real.

Extreme snow squall in progress.  Captured this image from my neighbor's webcam.  Right now vis is 1/16th of a mile.  When I can't see the other side of my pasture we know that heavy rates are happening.

Nice Gene your white Christmas is a lock this year. Enjoy. Pics??

  No wind,  powdery snow.  Easy pessy!   6.75"

25.1F Light snow.  5.5"

25F  Moderate snow  Vis est 3/4 miles.  Better snow growth than earlier.  About 4" fluff

24.2F  Light snow.  Vis est 3/4 mile.  About 2" new

20.2F  Light snow vis  1 mile.  Poor snow growth.  Expecting maybe 7 or 8?

30.2F Light snow  1"  Vis est 1.5 miles

28.2F Light snow.   Maybe 1/3"  of dry snow

31.9F Light snow vis 1.5 miles 

33.9F  Light snow.  Vis about 1 mile

31.9F sleet

31.5/23F  With these temperatures, I don't see any rain for the vast majority of this system.  Maybe lots of sleet or freezing rain but CAD at the surface almost always wins.  Snow at the begining,  IDK?

Update…thanks everyone, but it just died. It must’ve had some bad lower internal injuries. I had it in a box for a few hours and it didn’t pee or poop once. I put it back out into the woods to reenter the circle of life.

Brian,  I just saw this post.  Sorry.  I would have not been able to have helped you anyhow, as i don't know any rehab people.   I hate to see animals suffer.  Last month I had to drive to PA and on the interstate a hawk flew right in front of the car into the grill.  I still think about that.
