I wasn't really seeing this so shreded on any models last night. Usually some of the mesos pick up on these disasters. We did get a really good burst around 5am then again between 8-9am.
Goes from -SN to +SN back to -SN in the span of 10 minutes.
The funny part is this was not really looking moisture starved on models or radar last night.
There is a decent hit of ice coming somewhere in SNE. Also, a good front end dump somewhere between Rt 2 and Dendrite, most likely NE of my locale. Somewhere on E Slope of Berks gets 8"+ though. I think. Good storm for Berkshire East.
I have no interest in ice storms and can only empathize with those that embrace that particular craving. A pretty, glazed landscape at sunrise? Awesome. Trees and poles down with power out? No thanks.
Fine snow type analog with me.
I'm not buying the GFS warmth though. RT 2 corridor, is only a brief encounter, towards the nadir of the storm with precipitation that is not snow.
There is going to be some p-type issues further N than some may want but I think Pike region including Jerry gets a good initial thump then a decent peltfest.
If the mid-level lift is good I'm getting 6-8" but I'm leaning towards some periods of sand snow growth and thinking around 5 - 6" here. No complaints either way.
