Still have a hard time believing we’ll see any meaningful accumulation after 15z or so. Hard sell on the 8-12’’ maps. 

NAM is so slow. Doesn’t bring precip into SNE until after 06z.

won't be an issue up here. snowpack is in good shape, todays rain aside. and the snow had no problem quickly accumulating during a quick busrst of snow this AM. yeah later Saturday once storm winds down roads should be in good shape. talking my area specifically

Yeah, this matters in terms of planning the day Saturday. If we get a 4-8'' thump late Friday through like 12-13z Saturday then dryslot/showery -SN the main roads should be alright by the afternoon with solar help. If we get into an afternoon CCB the snow should be heavy enough to re-stick and the whole day is probably shot. Still don't really buy it, though. 

GFS really is perfect with that CCB otherwise it's a thump then on and off 2 sm sand at 33F during the day Saturday. 

Still looks like a lot of banded/showery precipitation to me after the initial thump. Still thinking 3-6''/4-8'' N of the Pike and especially N of Rt. 2 during the intial thump and then whatever falls during daylight Saturday is hit or miss given the crap airmass. Mostly miss if we don't get a legit CCB and I still don't buy it. 

NAM is LBNW. Rad presentation over SNE Sat AM would be dogshit if we get that sort of solution. 

This is gonna be 3-6’’ of sand here overnight Friday night/Saturday then light non-accumulating garbage during the day Saturday. Not impressed.

This may be one of the most annoying aspects of this whole thing. The timing differences are pretty wild. I'm inclined to go with the faster timing which seems to be the case more often then not, especially in these patterns. 

Yeah I tend to agree, but I don’t really see this as a typical SWFE get in get out either. Very annoying.

Going to the Celtics Friday night so watching onset more than anything and it’s interesting how the GFS is bringing this in much faster than pretty much all other guidance. 

Non accumulating-SN has started.

1-3’’ of sand followed by a quick change to rain and a friggen mess. Is it June yet?

That Manchester -Hooksett area and toward temple and mason look to me to be ground zero if there is an issue . 7-9” couple days ago and 10” today of the wet stuff . I would have anticipate outages there now 

56k out in NH right now. 

Ripping fatties.

Just mixed over to sone fatties here after pounding sand for a little while 

Yep, ripping fatties now. 

Growth is poor but it's picking up. Sticking easily. 

Snizzle but I think we've dipped just below freezing. Seeing some puddles freezing and ice on cars.

Some sleet mixing here. Snow line is getting pretty close to ASH. Looks just west now on radar. 

Flipped to sleet about 5 minutes ago. 

Went from light fatties to mod pretty quickly. Roads covered. 

HRRR is consistently meh for today and shuts things off pretty quickly by late afternoon. Not sure how much I'm buying that lingering IVT stuff after 21z or so. 

Like 1 mi. vis -SN. Serious, serious paste with a coating. Expecting to wake up to 2-4’’ of mashed potatoes given the radar. It’ll rip but stuff isn’t going to pile up too efficiently

Looks to be all snow here. -SN.

DPW just came by here. Everything coated. 

Glad they’re out. Have to be on the road to MHT around 4:30 to catch a flight. 

Ground truth not very impressive in my part of ASH. 

62 kts at MHT is insane. Just got back from being out and about and we didn’t come close.
