It’s weird wording to me. H5 was always going to slot with the trough to the west. I assume they mean H7, but it was always an isentropic push anyway…the saturated column is cold so it’s all snow below the relatively warmer nose.
Unless they’re worried about Monday not panning out with northerly bumps.
I feel like we will need 1.2” liquid for those totals so I’m on the under. Even 15:1 event total for these amounts is high end. I’m on the 10-15” train.
-40° in Copenhgen NY
You can see the -30s to -40 pretty clearly across MN, WI, MI, ON, NY on IR satellite as the snow surfaces show up green on this image.
It’s more hang back mid level goodies as the upper trough approaches and eventually swings through Mon night. Probably high ratio dendritic aggregates (think clumps of dendrites that cling together). Usually it’s like a 3/4sm high end -SN but it accumulates really efficiently.
