The issue with this not dropping a foot is Mid levels going above 0

this is a VERY prolific QPF producing over-running event . 

i would have no problem going 12-16” where this stays all snow w potential 20” lolli’s

it’s at least 18 hours duration this isn’t a 6-7 hour 1.5 inch QPF thump where we are fooled by euro snow maps 

WPC has 1.5 QPF well into CNE , someone is getting over a foot

it likely won’t be In mass due to sleet or some other mixing , not QPF or duration 

This is a concern especially if the surface remains cold; is the icing threat a real concern? To early to tell.

I'll sell that sfc track though...MLs will def warm on that, but that is not going into ALB. The vort gets abused as it goes east, no way the sfc reflection penetrates that arctic dome.

This appears to be trending toward a significant icing event for interior SNE and S NH imo. Caveat being ...5 days out lol

It's back to a more aggressive N-stream involvement ... I would still proceed with caution on that working out too well.. The flow is really quite fast/compressed and that western end of the SPV "scooping" in that curved isohypsic structure like that is less than very frequently observed in velocity saturated flows.  It stresses physical believability -

Gives me confidence in this "graphic" and discussion i included with my blog post this morning.

  • Where it stays all snow, upwards of 12″ is possible;
  • The areas in red:
    • Potential for upwards of 6″ of snow;
    • Followed by a firm crust of sleet;
    • On top of which significant icing, >0.25″, is possible.
  • The area in green:
    • Potential for plowable snowfall;
    • Followed by a change to sleet & ice;
    • Transitioning to rain for a time.
  • The area in purple: a few inches of snow transitions to rain.
  • All areas likely end as a bit of snow. A couple additional inches are possible.

Icing danger is def increasing over interior.

I'm kinda kicking myself...  I extrapolated over that a few days ago ...but in the interim, advised dropping that from threat assessing - which appears to be neolithically incompetent on my part seeing as ever since than there's been this like super-natural forcing changing the model to make sure I look like a giant asshole for backing away from those original insights...

Kidding of course but jesus -

Uber phased idea is BS imo.

We'll see.

Its not tracking through central NE.

Not happening.

I could def see the midlevels tracking through CNE....but I don't think the surface will. The sfc in reality will prob run into a brick wall in PA or something and then you'll see a protrusion forming to the south and east of SNE and it rtracks over CC or SE MA or something like that.

Increadible! Every SW since Mid November has found a way to not snow in South Central and SNE so far. The potential making of a ratter is ensuing. Like I said in an earlier post way back. "You can't depend on a winter of CAD"  The setup overall must change or this is pretty much what we're looking at with most systems.

Ok...so the coders are confused.  Just looking at a piece of modelling and how their algorithm on TT handles it.  

They are not confused either ... 

The "coders" are not coding for bullshit details that are going to be wrong in the first place - ...leaving those out is vastly more likely the pragmatic recourse... People coming along and using them to give a dopamine rush for how awesomely cryo-dystopic the run looks based on colors, ... then bargaining in vitriol like we don't know they really want it to happen ... is tantamount to a form of shall we say ... less than entirely rational.  Group psychosis is more like it

I’m not taking about the surface low , I’m talking a scenario where mid levels close 

I think you'll be hard-pressed to see the MLs close off with this given the setup.  This is basic an open wave storm developing along the arctic boundary.  It's not a re-developer.
