HIPPYVALLEY

I'm going to nowcast some deflated weenies.   Any significant icing will be at high elevations of Berks and Greens in S VT.  A lot of QPF will be wasted as liquid in most of SNE.  Pellets will get pretty far N tonight before retreating.   Part 2 is still the wildcard fir NNE. 

WTF else should a NE winter wx enthusiast expect from a lakes cutter?!?

Interesting dual pole.

You’ll probably go up a tad before going back down. 

His wife knows that forecast.

My brother was skiing in the whites yesterday.... he said those areas desperately need some snow. Good for them... this should help

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

EURO looks a hair colder than 18z, but warmer than 12z...in between.

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

You can rake pine needles year after year on them and never get to the bottom, My blueberry pants love the acid they produce though.

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.

Looks like area just west of HFD AOA 500’ is in trouble 

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 .

Other then birch trees, Those are the weakest link.

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.

Hopefully not as much as forecast,  you get up in the 1 inch range and it's not just power you have to worry about 

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

HREF freezing rain 

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.

What else do we have to go on?

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.

3k NAM destroys Hippy and really likes Western RI hills for ice 

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

Guess I’ll test the generator tomorrow...

Don’t forget some sleet

Oh’ there will be plenty of that.
