Rain line advancing quickly from ENY into VT.

The 18z WRF was pretty meager.  Quick change to sleet.

[powderfreak]

Canadian HRRR looks very similar to WRF.  Be interesting to see around Dendrites area how much this plays out.   Some models have 4-5" others 1-2".

37/35 light rain, SE wind

Fortune Cookie say: We live at the edge of miraculous

Pretty sure somewhere there are people paid to get stoned and come up with fortunes cookie sayings.

Happy New Year,  be safe. Dont drink and drive, don't drug and drive.

32.9° -SN

Looks like the mix line is pushing MHT already on CC.

32.5/30F  Light snow.  Everything is now pretty well coated

[dendrite]

Uh oh. Back up to 33.2° after hitting 32.8°. Maybe we can melt most of thison contact.

My high temp this day one year ago was 3.7°

YTD is around 32.5"    (Before tonight's 1/2" or so)

32.2/30F  Light snow    (I thought it would come in like a wall but so far just light snow)

What a fail.

Yeah, if you don’t flip back to snow when the heaviest echoes come in it’s a pretty ugly bust.

Funny I just flipped to a 50/50 snow sleet mix after changing to rain. So definitely needed some dynamic cooling 

[scoob40]

37/35 Lt Rain. Got a shot at 50 tomorrow.

It does look like the ENX eastward beam echoes show the mix line collapsing west toward EEN/VSF. We'll see. We don't have a lot of hours to play with and the sfc is meh outside of 1000ft.

[wxeyeNH]

Holding at 32.3F but very, very light snow.  Really surprised how light it has been the past 2 hours

[wx2fish]

Starting to mix in some flakes with the sleet once the heavier echoes moved in

You were definitely on the border of where hi-res stuff showed the best potential. Like just to your east there was a pretty sharp line.

Forecast soundings definitely hinted at that. Initial warm boundary layer gave rain, but dynamic cooling and wet bulbing flipped to snow for a couple hours before the WAA overwhelmed things.
