Hanging tough down here. Maybe we erode it some down here ahead of the front, but its gonna be a grind. 3k and hrrr keep MHT in the mid 30s now. Maybe we get a quick pop to 40 along the front.
The salt usage is an interesting debate. Studies show far more is used than is needed, leading to increasing environmental impacts. On the other hand, it can be snowing 1"/hr and people are still blasting road conditions on social media.
93 goes between Canobie Lake and Cobbetts Pond here in Windham and both have elevated chloride levels.
Hrrr is also on the southern edge of guidance with the initial waa burst. Nam/euro are further north with the bulk of it and have alot less qpf from SNH southward
Skeptical of the HRRR, but verbatim the 12z run is 3/4" qpf as freezing rain across SNH. My guess is its a little too cold, and itll be a faster rise to around 32 for many. But, something to montior today.
That early Dec system set a pretty steep gradient locally. Im at 12.5" but a couple miles west/north the Hudson coop and MHT are 14-16". Follows the theme of the past few seasons. Hopefully turns around and you get a CF or deffy band jack in Jan.
Next week is probably a loss, but theres still some chance for atleast some overrunning leading up to Christmas. Nice little system christmas eve on the euro and deep cold christmas day.
