I am having trouble envisioning that, but I'm becoming more intrigued with each model run. Euro is nowhere close to this amount though, so I stay skeptical until more evidence comes in: I don't understand it that's NW of the true elevated terrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky situations with such a deep dynamic system . WRF suite is crazy in SVT and has multiple rounds of Squalls pretty much everywhere . I am psyched to see how this evolves. As you know one of my favorite setups, not IMBY but in the NE. I expect some surprises like maybe NW CT, your area too.

Uninformed Peeps after today especially are going to head to work Monday AM with a dumbfounded look I like the west slopes of the Berks and SVT in this event more than usual. The location of the surface low and closed mid-level lows are very favorable for them. Its a little too SE for my liking of a real high end event up here (I still like 8-14" for the ski resort though by Tuesday 12z) as our climo best location is near FVE instead of just north of Jay Peak. But that puts SVT and the Berks in some real good cyclonic deep layer NW flow...and we get into it later on as the whole system lifts northeast. So our best snows may come quite a bit later, like Monday night could be surprisingly good up here after a slow start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just like everyone else in questioning that excessive QPF Monday morning over the St Lawrence valley. The TROWAL later tomorrow is probably real. Its interesting because early on the QPF matches where I think it would be. Its later on that the GFS rips out like 12 hours of 1"/hr snows over the St Lawrence Valley. Here's a 12 hour period from 18z Sunday through 6z Monday...this stuff looks pretty decent but man that's a moist TROWAL zone. Watertown/ART and Tug Hill area gets like 1.5" QPF in 12 hours as snow. That should be interesting to watch. Also, one can see how the low pressure location puts SVT in the cross-hairs for a good orographic event...some model runs like 24-36 hours ago were a little more NE and put us into the sweet spot which is how the high-end events happen. We still will get ripped for a while but that low location is a little less favorable as it then has to migrate NE and weakens a bit before we get into the best upslope.

wxmanmitch Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Both 00z GFS and 4-km NAM are going 12" or so around PSF, so the suspense builds. This looks to be one of those rare setups where the stars align perfectly and we get a long-lasting, warning-level upslope dump down here. Even if half of those amounts verified, I'd be impressed. It's much tougher to get significant snows of this nature down here than it is up by PF since our topographic barrier isn't as high. The last time we had a warning level upslope event was on 1/13/12 when we had 9" behind an arctic front after a SWFE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't either , I see nothing wrong with this Could be contending with winter weather hazards in the form of snow. Higher confidence over N/W portions of CT and MA at this time. As to damaging winds, hazards seem more likely given the system undergoing occlusion beneath a negative-tilted trough, drawing down colder air rearward allowing for steep lapse rates possibly as high as H5-7. Would be looking at all of S New England with regards to impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allsnow Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Nice surprise down here with .3 of snow. Very solid coating and all before thanksgiving. Nice to see the snow again.

tavwtby Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 sitting right at freezing temp and DP, nice solid coating on everything, and people laughedat me yesterday when i said don't be surprised if theres a couple/few inches of snow tomorrow. I need 2" to equal a fifth of my total from last year, which was an all time low, at least as far back as I found records, next closest was I believe 32-33, without looking it up, but I beat the low by a mile...off to good start this year.

moneypitmike Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Does anyone know if where the rain/snow line is up in GC? I'm in the WWA, but I can't see 2-6" near my hood--that would need to be at places with elevation. Lower level temps are not bad though, 33* at the Pit after having dipped a bit lower earlier. Bummed I'm missing the event thought--the winds sure look impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
