Nina’s are exhausting

If it wasn’t 48 when it started, we would have definitely gotten a couple tenths in a matter of 3-5 minutes. Temp dropped to 37.

Instant mini dusting

Ripping snow and graupel

Since the 12-20” idea that one GFS run threw out is obviously gone, we’re trading between the former Euro AI idea of a widespread 1-3” for this solution where some lucky spot may get 6-8” and some people are going to get almost totally skunked.

Just had some flakes with temps of like 48

Off the top of my head I can’t think of a great analog for this, but I don’t have the photographic memory that @psuhoffmanand others do. I’d guess New England has some experience with these? But you’re looking at a ULL deepening and capturing a surface low basically on top of us. So this is all dynamics driven with strong upward motion. There’s no great moisture feed off the ocean, no WAA or CCB well defined. So I guess we’re looking at where the best lift from the jet streak exit region and the ULL falls? Maybe there will be some frontogen at like 700mb that will produce some of those higher totals? It’s totally a Nowcast. 1-6” would be a reasonable range.

This is totally a thoughts and prayers event. 80% going to be broken hearted. Don’t think I’ll be relaxed until I’m shoveling. If we could be objective though, it’s potentially a really cool event to watch just from a dynamics perspective.

Storm thread gonna be a scene with a GFS/euro type outcome lol

That really was PD2 and then some. 2’ down and way more to come lol.

Storm thread for Thursday/friday going to be meltdown city if it plays out like the overnight runs. Waiting for a changeover from rain….blobby precip field, a few people getting raked while others get flurries…oh man it will be rough.

A 1 county sized jackpot zone surrounded by a 1-3” region the size of Delaware lol

Yeah I think there’s southern stream involvement, but less than it looked like a few days ago.

This is what I’m saying.
