  1. But it only takes 15 minutes of freezing drizzle to turn I93 into a demolition derby. At least the state piled a couple hundred thousand pounds of salt on the highway for the 1” the other day so the salt residue remains.
  2. And to Tip’s point…. A short period of +RA with marginal <32° temps and no evaporative cooling offset isn’t going to result in significant accretion. A lot of that liquid will run off and “waste” to the ground.
  3. Gotta separate QPF as ZR and actual accretion too. I think you’ll have some decent icing up there around 1k Gene. But there’s really no ageostrophic lower dewpoint drain to offset the diabatic warming so once the ZR begins it’s a slow trend upward to 32°. I think we’ll probably wedge into the 30s until the cold fropa, but I think any additional accretion ends here in the morning and maybe mid to late morning up there.
  4. Maybe one of those setups where you shoot up to 40° while Ryan is still -ZR in WeHa?
  5. It kinda saddens me that the best snow event of my lifetime is now in my rearview. All of this in 12 hours.
  6. The SN/IP zone in Maine kinda gets bullied by the WAA…not something I like to see for going big ice in CNE. HRRR has MHT below 32° for the entirety…hard sell on that. I think it’s underestimating the diabatic latent warming and the lack of Tip’s +PP.
  7. Hopefully it’s not congrats DC, but at least there’s no monster PNA in the extended. I’ll roll with that block.
  8. Hit 9.5° but currently 12.7° with a bit of a breeze. The stations all by the river approached 0°. Very fake morning.
  9. MWN +19 and First Lake -14 tells you how fake the cold is.
  10. Monday’s morning commute may suck, but otherwise this is overblown.
  11. Yeah I agree with both of you. I think Gene may get more prolonged icing than most given his elevation up at Newfound, but this won’t be anything historical. I doubt there’s much accretion after early/mid Monday morning so 1/3-1/2” QPF won’t be a big deal outage/damage wise…although the Monday AM commute will probably be a disaster.
  12. I hope we get warm enough to get the ice out of the trees before the next blast of CAA. A couple hours at 40° would do it.
  13. Max DGZ was up around H5-6. Euro had that punching through toward 00z. But I don’t think BGM was expecting much after 00z anyway?
