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.

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.

Here too. Happy Holiday season to you guys and the kids!

The have's and have nots....

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?

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.

Mood flakes yesterday and light snow the past 3 hours around 33F. Still waiting for our first trace. We did have a dusting in shaded areas for about an hour yesterday before sublimation. Does that count?

Clouds will be the problem over the next 48 hours especially in Central and NNE.
