It’s the model I watch every SWFE to know where my upper snow limits are getting pinned by ML temps. It usually has me pinging 1 - 2 hours before any other model.
The WAA moisture will be hitting a wall, so let’s just see the trends on the ML temps over the next few sets of model runs.
I mean Jeezuz, I am at 0 / -14 at 10pm. That is some arctic air this thing will be running into at first.
Oh' man, Amherst is tough. My first go round in W MA was in the early 90's and I couldn't believe the snow difference when I moved from the Amherst/Belchertown line up to Leverett. Amherst is such a snow hole. Northampton gets more snow even though they are basically on the river.
Ice fishermen are out on Barton Cove on the Connecticut River. Smaller rivers have lots of ice flows in them this morning.
The only upside of not having much snow covered this week is that the ice is getting thick quickly on the ponds and lakes. A few inches of snow tends to slow that down a little bit.
