At least the vortmax is not the curled deal pealing into western NY....sort of elongated which allows us to not have the WAA sleeting to Randolph NH. But as you said...I sort of have this vision that due to the mid levels being so far NW...the good lift and RH allowing for snow, will leave the area a little sooner than the QPF would show. We all know this, but some of the younger crowd might not. Once the good lift leaves and we get the shallow lift....it's showery precip that's probably in the form of various ptypes.
Maybe the 850 WF is enough lift to prolong it? We will see. I'm still generally thinking 4-7" here or so. I know guidance shows more, but I am having trouble seeing more than 8" here.
