37/26 w/ a few rain drops.

Yeah, my brother said Wildcat looked similar.

There is almost no snow otg in N Conway. Just piles.

40/24

Sleet to Bangor?

There is a lot of IP/ FZRA in our Monday.

They actually form strong, interlocking root mats so if you have a bunch of white pines the bigger worry is split trunks breaking and falling as opposed to whole trees going over.

I agree but depending on how this plays out, that area from Gardner to Chelmsford up to Nashua could get into some good icing. The icing zone is the wild card that can easily get shoved 50 miles north or south .

At least they don't have huge branches. Trust me, I am not thrilled with this storm, hoping for some really good dynamics wrt to lift and we stay mostly sleet.

You've seen my pics, I am surrounded by 70-100' white pines.

I would be a little concerned if I was anywhere from Mitch to Yukon Cornelius to Dave and even towards Tippy for a pretty good icing event. That includes me of course but I think elevation will certainly help for bigger ice totals.

Mesos all point towards a decent icing event here. Fun nowcast event incoming. Don't really want to lose power but should be an interesting wintery end to a fun December out this way.

Faith in Ullr?

Finally got to look at a bunch of model runs, what an interesting set up. That high press is pretty damn robust but those mid-level temps are just a torch surging north. I can see sleet getting pretty far into CNE and Ice getting into central CT. My area is a tough call, could end up being many hours of pelting and only a moderate glaze or could end up being on the edge of warning type icing. Unless things change dramatically overnight I am not feeling much snow here I think the IP flip comes pretty quick. I would love to see a good slug of snow for the ski areas but I don’t have a lot of confidence in how part two is going to play out for NNE.

Pain in the ass! My driveway just melted off yesterday.

Guess I’ll test the generator tomorrow...

Oh’ there will be plenty of that.

I would really like to avoid an ice storm so hoping for some shifts in modeling as we get closer to go time.

Might be able to adjust a bit south if the H is for real.

That NAM solution is relying on a very robust high in the right position. Let's see what it shows tomorrow.

Is that what you want though? I have no desire for ice storms.

I don't trust the set-up with this storm, a lot more can go wrong than right wrt winter p-types. Looks decent for Maine though.

Rain in December sucks but it’s nice to have the driveway back down to pavement again.

Really, this already has a thread? Been a very busy week so no model watching for me but I will hopefully spend and hour late tomorrow morning catching up and sorting fantasy from reality.
